The global anhydrous milk fat market was worth US$ 2.9 Billion in 2018, registering a CAGR of 10.7% during 2011-2018. The market is further projected to reach a value of US$ 5.2 Billion by 2024. Anhydrous milk fat (AMF) is extracted by separating oil fat from cream or milk through the process of centrifugation. The water is removed and the fat concentrate thus obtained contains at least 99.8% pure milk fat. Whitish yellow in colour, it has a very buttery and creamy texture and is free from any additives, preservatives and fatty-acids. It is very nutritious and contains high quantity of calcium, and vitamins A, D, E and K2 which are essential to maintain a healthy body. Anhydrous milk fat is used in culinary preparations as an alternative to butter or other fats, at both the industrial and domestic levels.

Global Anhydrous Milk Fat Market Drivers/Constraints:

Anhydrous milk fat can be stored for several months at ambient temperature and easily transported from one part of the world to another owing to its longer shelf-life and low moisture content.

Earlier, the consumption of anhydrous milk fat was largely confined to countries such as Australia and New Zealand. However, with the increasing trend of fusion food products, the consumption of anhydrous milk fat in the European Union and United States is projected to grow.

Anhydrous milk fat has diversified applications in the fast food industry which is expected to grow at a significant rate during the next few years. This will create a substantial demand for anhydrous milk fat worldwide.

The negative health aspects of anhydrous milk fat due to its high concentration of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, coupled with its high price as compared to vegetable fats, can hinder the growth of the market.
