Largest Country : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Turkey</span>

  • The regional milk protein market was primarily driven by Turkey in 2020. This was attributed to the harmonization achieved in Turkish and EU Food Laws, which has been attracting a lot of foreign investments in the domestic market. Also, Turkey's youth population, which accounts for 80% of overall consumers, is boosting the demand for healthier and recognizable ingredients, further propelling the market studied. As a result, the country claimed the fastest growth and is projected to witness a volume CAGR of 6.46%.
  • As one of the largest gluten-free consumers in the region, the United Kingdom remains a promising destination for milk protein consumption, owing to the ingredient's high efficacy in gluten-free formulations. Also, the whey protein demand in the country is majorly led by an increasing number of fitness enthusiasts and a heavy consumer influx in gyms and fitness clubs. The share of private gym members in the United Kingdom in 2019 was high by 19% compared to 2016, representing consumers' increasing reliance on performance-boosting supplements over the years.
