The Europe milk protein market size was estimated at USD 3.74 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach 6.11 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2033. The European milk protein market is experiencing robust growth, primarily driven by a significant surge in health awareness and shifting dietary preferences across the region.
Consumers increasingly opt for protein-enriched products to support active lifestyles, muscle maintenance, and overall wellness. The demand for milk proteins has grown beyond their traditional use in sports nutrition. They are now broadly incorporated into various functional foods and beverages, including yogurts, protein bars, dietary powders, and ready-to-drink shakes. Moreover, high milk production in the region is also expected to contribute to the market growth.
Furthermore, technological advancements in protein extraction and purification enable manufacturers to develop innovative and versatile milk protein ingredients that cater to diverse applications and consumer needs. This includes creating specialized whey and casein products with improved functional qualities like emulsification and gelling. Arla Foods, FrieslandCampina, and other major players are expanding their presence, which is expected to drive the production and consumption of milk protein across the countries. The ongoing focus on health, combined with continuous product development, strategic investments, and awareness campaigns by key industry players, continues to fuel the expansion of the European milk protein market. In September 2024, Arla Foods Ingredients introduced the "Go High in Protein" campaign, encouraging manufacturers to create innovative, high-protein dairy offerings. The campaign highlights the Nutrilac ProteinBoost range, patented microparticulated whey proteins, which are rich in essential amino acids.
