Key Market Trends
Increasing Consumption of Dairy Products
The increasing consumption of dairy products and the increasing consumer awareness about clean label products and their advantages are among the key factors boosting the growth of the protective cultures market. For instance, in 2017, Chr Hansen launched products in the protective cultures market, particularly for yogurt and cheese applications. The protective culture products launched by Chr Hansen helped their consumers to replace artificial preservatives in order to sustain the shelf life of yogurts and cheese products. Moreover, the increasing demand for natural preservative-free products across the globe is driving the market growth of protective cultures. In addition to this, the burgeoning demand for long-term preservatives and highly transparent products has prompted the growth of the protective cultures market.
