Latest developments in the global Lactoferrin market and the global Lactoperoxidase market, including supply outlook and innovative applications

Lactoferrin is gaining more and more attention worldwide, attracting new players, primarily from the dairy industry, but also from the precision fermentation sector. The global production capacity of lactoferrin has been rapidly increasing since 2019, resulting in an over-supply situation. How is the current balance between supply and demand shaping up?

This milk bioactive protein offers a wide variety of functionalities, including antimicrobial properties and immunomodulation, to name just two, which have been widely utilized in the infant formula sector. However, as the birth rate decreases in China, new applications for lactoferrin are emerging, such as functional foods and supplements. Could there be additional opportunities in areas such as oral care, cosmetics and pet food?

Furthermore, what about lactoperoxidase, the co-product of lactoferrin production? Are there any potential new developments on the horizon in this field?

Gira’s “The Lactoferrin & Lactoperoxidase Global Markets” update answers these questions and provides a comprehensive overview of this dynamic and fast-moving market.
