In the European Union, dairy blends must meet specific standards for fat content and composition, making it difficult for global brands to introduce uniform products. The Codex Alimentarius standards limit the use of certain stabilizers and emulsifiers in dairy blends, forcing manufacturers to reformulate their products. The Codex Alimentarius sets global food safety standards, limiting certain stabilizers and emulsifiers in dairy blends, and influencing regulations in the EU, U.S., and other major markets.
SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS
INSIGHTS BY PRODUCT TYPE
The global dairy blends market by product type is segmented into liquid, powder, and others. In 2024, the powder segment dominates the market and holds the largest share.

Additionally, these blends can be customized to meet specific dietary preferences, such as low-fat, lactose-free, or plant-based options, making them suitable for a diverse range of consumers. Dairy blends serve as cost-effective alternatives to whole milk and butter in bakery production. As versatile and functional food ingredients, they are used across multiple food industries, including bakery, confectionery, and beverages. The growing demand for convenience foods and ready-to-drink dairy beverages is driving the increased use of dairy blends. They are also incorporated into a wide range of food and beverage products, including ready-to-eat meals, infant formula, and functional ingredients.
