The India milk protein market size was estimated at USD 404.9 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 889.2 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2033. This market is driven by rising health consciousness, growing demand for functional and sports nutrition products, and increasing applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
The India milk protein market is witnessing steady growth, driven by a rising focus on health and wellness, especially among urban and millennial populations. With a growing adoption of protein-enriched diets, the demand for milk-derived proteins like whey and casein is surging. The growth of fitness centers, gym culture, and awareness about muscle recovery and weight management has further accelerated the consumption of milk proteins in India.
The market expansion is also influenced by the integration of milk proteins in a wide range of food and beverage applications, including ready-to-drink shakes, nutritional bars, dairy desserts, and infant formulas. Indian food processing companies increasingly incorporate milk protein concentrates and isolates into their product portfolios to enhance nutritional value and meet evolving consumer preferences. The versatility of milk protein in improving texture, solubility, and nutritional content makes it attractive to manufacturers catering to health-conscious consumers. For instance, in March 2025, Mother Dairy launched its new "Pro" range with Promilk, a high-protein milk designed for everyday consumption. The product aims to boost daily protein intake by offering 30% more protein without requiring any change in consumer habits.
In addition, supportive government initiatives such as the "Make in India" campaign and increased investments in the dairy and nutraceutical sectors have fostered domestic production capacity for milk proteins. Local dairy giants and start-ups are investing in advanced processing technologies to improve protein extraction and meet rising domestic demand.
