Milk protein concentrate (MPC) is a concentrated dairy product that contains encapsulated bioavailable calcium. It also contains casein, caseinates, and whey protein concentrates and isolates in the same milk ratio. It is prepared by treating skimmed milk and concentrating the protein fractions through membrane separation technology. It promotes weight management by reducing calorie intake and the desire to consume sugary foods. It is used as a key ingredient in preparing various protein-fortified drinks, snacks, energy bars, desserts, and low-carbohydrate foods due to its low-lactose and high-protein consistency. Besides this, MPC finds extensive applications in formulating protein supplements, infant nutrition, and packaged dairy products, such as lassi, dahi, paneer, and cheese slices.
The increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other lifestyle diseases is catalyzing the demand for nutritional food products across the globe. In addition, rising awareness among the masses about the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle and consuming a balanced diet is increasing the overall sales of MPC. The increasing awareness among parents about the nutritional benefits of infant formula is driving the demand for MPC across the globe. These concentrates are used in baby foods for the proper development of infants by fulfilling the required dietary needs. Apart from this, the active participation of individuals in sports activities and fitness programs is increasing the requirement for protein supplements, which, in turn, is strengthening the market growth. Furthermore, a significant rise in milk production is increasing the supply of MPC and offering lucrative growth opportunities for manufacturers. Additionally, rising investments by leading market players in research and development (R&D) activities to launch more product variants with enhanced aroma and flavor of dairy protein ingredients are anticipated to propel the market growth.
