The global A2 lactose-free milk market size was valued at USD 735.3 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 20.1% from 2025 to 2034, fueled by a surge in demand for digestive-friendly milk alternatives and heightened awareness of the advantages of A2 protein milk over conventional dairy.
This momentum is primarily driven by consumers' increasing focus on health, wellness, and specialty dairy products, especially in light of rising global lactose intolerance rates. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), approximately 68% of the global population has some degree of lactose malabsorption, which underscores the growing demand for lactose-free alternatives.
