The United States milk protein market size reached approximately USD 1.33 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 2.18 billion by 2032.
Factor | Effect on the United States Milk Protein Market |
Percentage of population aged 65+ | Expected to reach 23% by 2050, surging the demand for protein food |
The popularity of sports among Gen-Z | Can drive the demand for milk protein shakes and dietary supplements |
Use of milk protein in personal care and cosmetic products | Expected to register a significant uptick, as skin and hair-related problems increase |
Milk protein is obtained from filtered milk and is made up of whey protein and casein. It is a rich source of calcium and contains high quantities of branched-chain amino acids (including leucine and valine) which benefit muscle repair and enhance bone strength. It also prevents muscle breakdown at night by forming a gel-like substance in the human body for the stomach bacteria to feed from.
Most of the milk produced in the United States is used to manufacture dairy products and is not consumed directly. This prompts health and wellness companies to use dairy for manufacturing products like dry whey, lactose, and milk protein concentrate, among other things, boosting the United States milk protein market growth.
The increase in ageing population; deteriorating skin and hair health; increasing popularity of sports; and the rising trend of health and fitness are positively impacting the United States milk protein market growth

Key players | Increasingly investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop lactose-free milk protein |
Factor | Impact on the Market |
Ageing population | Increasing need for milk protein products for maintaining muscle health and the immune system |
Deteriorating hair and skin conditions | 84.5 million people in the USA suffer from skin problems, favourably affecting the market for milk proteins |
Growing popularity of sports | Milk protein is an extremely beneficial ingredient in sports drinks for athletes |
Rising trend of health and fitness | Increasing consumers’ inclination towards products that can aid satiety and weight management is boosting milk protein demand |
The current population of geriatrics (60+) living in the USA is 58 million, which is expected to grow to 82 million by 2050, thereby registering a 47% increase. The proportion of adults aged 65+ years in the USA is expected to rise to 23% by 2050, which will create a huge opportunity for health and wellness companies to create milk protein products (powders and shakes, among others) and satisfy huge consumer demand for protein consumption.
Gen Zs are increasingly attracted towards naturally formulated sports drinks, which possess a high protein content and contain no artificial sweeteners. Such beverages can boost energy instantly without any adverse side effects on human health. The absence of artificial preservatives and ingredients makes milk protein beverages a healthy choice for long-term consumption, fuelling the market.

The food and beverage industry dominates the United States milk protein market share
