A new report on whey and lactose products from 3A Business Consulting, named “The World Market for Whey and Lactose Products 2007-2010,” discusses significant growth rates for whey and lactose ingredients—in terms of volume, but no longer in terms of value given the dramatic fall in prices since mid-summer 2007, particularly for the commodity type of whey and lactose products. Currently, whey powder, whey proteins and whey protein fractions represent a global market value of approximately $4 billion, compared to $6 billion in the summer of 2007, whereas lactose, lactose permeate, pharma-grade lactose and lactose derivatives are worth approximately $1.5 billion, compared to $3 billion last year. The report focuses on supply and demand including a trade analysis of commodity type products as well as the more specialized derivatives.
