Infants under the age of one year can drink A2 milk as a milk substitute. For infants to be healthy and grow, mother's milk is absolutely necessary. A2 milk is a fantastic substitute for goat and mother's milk. For the production of baby food, several firms use A2 milk. A2 milk is also used in the annual launches of infant food items by a number of manufacturers, which is predicted to drive the global market for A2 milk over the forecast period. The United Kingdom's dairy industry processed 1,167 million litres of milk in July 2018, and 1,249 million litres of milk in March 2019, according to the Department for Environment, Food, & Rural Affairs. The demand for A2 milk is therefore anticipated to increase during the forecast period due to the large expansion in milk consumption. According to forecasts, Asia Pacific would experience the fastest revenue growth in the worldwide A2 milk market.
According to Coherent Market Insights, The size and share of the worldwide A2 Milk Market were estimated at USD 1.87 billion in 2021 and are projected to reach USD 4.83 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 11.30% over the forecast period.
