Whole milk powder is derived by removing water from fresh pasteurized, homogenized, or non-homogenized milk through evaporation or spray-drying. It can also be manufactured by blending fluid, condensed, or non-fat dry milk with liquid or dry cream. It is characterized by a creamy flavor, light cream color, and pleasing taste. Its moisture is removed, which further assists in inhibiting microbial growth and providing the same nutritional properties as regular milk. Moreover, as it is easy to handle, store, and disperse in water, has a long shelf-life, and provides a cost-efficient source of milk fats, it is widely utilized in manufacturing a wide range of food products.

Apart from this, whole milk powder is widely utilized as a source of non-fat milk solids in baked and confectionery goods. This, along with the growing popularity of milk powder in regions with low availability of milk and the introduction of organic and lactose-free variants, is strengthening the market growth. Besides this, manufacturers are offering vitamin-fortified whole milk powder for direct use in milk beverages, yogurt, coffee, and tea whitener.
