Casein is a protein found in mammalian milk that consists of essential carbohydrates, minerals, calcium and amino acids. It is obtained from cow, sheep, goat, buffalo and yak milk and is commonly available in acid, caseinate and rennet variants. Casein is extracted during the processing of milk and is an amorphous, tasteless and odorless white solid. It has a slow digestion rate, which aids in building muscle fat, controlling hunger, increasing metabolic rate, supporting muscle recovery and preserving the lean muscle tissue of the body. It is widely utilized as a supplement to assist with recovery and reduce muscle breakdown. It finds extensive application across various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food and beverage.

Casein is extensively used in snacks and baked food products to improve the texture and enhance the nutritional content. In line with this, the increasing consumption of casein-rich dairy products due to the rising health consciousness among the masses is also favoring the market growth. Moreover, the utilization of natural and organic sources for sustainably manufacturing casein without artificial additives and hormones is providing a thrust to the market growth. Additionally, the widespread product adoption in the pharmaceutical industry is acting as another growth-inducing factor.
