What Factors Are Driving the Growth of the Lactose-Free Infant Formula Market?
The lactose-free infant formula market’s growth can be linked to the rising incidence of lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance, which occurs when people cannot fully digest milk’s lactose, leads to health problems such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. For infants who are lactose intolerant, lactose-free infant formula is necessary to meet their nutrition needs. For instance, in July 2022, it was reported by the Encyclopædia Britannica Inc. that approximately 65% of the adult population was affected by lactose intolerance in 2022. Thus, the growing incidence of lactose intolerance in infants continues to drive the market for lactose-free infant formula forward.
