Global Anhydrous Milk Fat Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

Global Anhydrous Milk Fat Market is forecasted to rise at a 6.88% CAGR, reaching USD 7.651 billion by 2030 from USD 5.485 billion in 2025.

Anhydrous Milk Fat (AMF) is a concentrated dairy product consisting of a minimum of 99.8% milk fat, rendered naturally lactose-free through a separation process that removes water and non-fat solids. It is characterized by a whitish-yellow color and a highly buttery, creamy texture, free from chemical additives, foreign fatty acids, and preservatives. Nutritionally, it is a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2, along with calcium. Functionally, AMF serves as a versatile fat ingredient across the food industry, used as a substitute for butter or other fats in both industrial and domestic culinary applications. Its uses span bakery and confectionery products, dairy items like ice cream and cheese, as well as dips, spreads, and sauces. The market growth for AMF is driven by its superior functional properties and expanding application scope.

Primary Market Drivers

The expansion of the Anhydrous Milk Fat market is underpinned by two central factors: its exceptional stability and extended shelf life compared to butter, and its growing utilization across a diverse range of food products.

A key driver for AMF adoption is its significant logistical and shelf-life advantages over traditional butter. While butter is prone to degradation and requires stringent, low-temperature storage conditions, AMF demonstrates high stability and can be stored for several months without refrigeration. This extended shelf life, achieved without preservatives, reduces storage costs, minimizes waste, and simplifies transportation across the supply chain. This enhanced usability and practicality make AMF an increasingly attractive ingredient for food manufacturers seeking efficient and reliable fat sources, thereby fueling its market growth.

Concurrently, the market is being propelled by the broadening application use of AMF and corresponding investments in production capacity. AMF's neutral profile and functional properties make it an exceptionally versatile ingredient. It is easily mixed and metered into a wide array of food products, including caramels, toffees, chocolates, fudges, recombined UHT and evaporated milk, ice cream, yogurt, soups, sauces, and dairy spreads. Within the bakery industry, it functions not only as a fat but also as an emulsifier, binder, and processing aid. The increase in large-scale production of these food categories directly drives demand for AMF. To meet this rising demand from various food sectors, suppliers in the global market are actively expanding their manufacturing capabilities. Strategic investments aimed at increasing dairy processing output, particularly in major producing regions, are strengthening the supply base to capitalize on the growing application landscape, further accelerating market expansion.

Geographical Market Outlook

The Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit significant growth in the Anhydrous Milk Fat market during the forecast period. This anticipated expansion is rooted in the region's substantial and growing dairy sector. Countries within Asia-Pacific, notably India, are among the world's largest producers and consumers of fluid milk and dairy products. Dairy serves as a primary source of protein for a largely vegetarian population, ensuring a consistent and large consumer base.

This robust domestic dairy industry provides a strong foundation for the production of value-added derivatives like AMF. The region is not only a major consumer but also possesses significant potential for exporting dairy products, including butter and anhydrous milk fat. The combination of a large population, income growth driving consumption, and the capacity for large-scale production and export creates a favorable environment for market growth. The increasing integration of AMF into various food processing applications within the region, coupled with its export potential, positions Asia-Pacific as a key growth market for anhydrous milk fat.
