The Skimmed Milk Market size is estimated to reach $16.7 billion by 2027. Furthermore, it is poised to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Milk has been a prevalent part of one’s nutrition, from when they were a child. However, the less processed or whole fat milk posed a certain unique set of challenges, resulting in various cardiovascular diseases. The skim milk is also labeled as non-fat milk and is not creamy at all. Unlike whole fat milk which has at least 3.25% of fat, and none of which is removed during processing-skimmed milk is kept aloof from such fats. For a long time, non-fat milk or skimmed milk is gaining traction, especially by the label-conscious consumers wary about the high-fat content and associated diseases. Since fats present in whole milk can significantly impact and increase the LDL or bad cholesterol, skimmed milk is preferred by the geriatric and young alike. Skimmed milk is mostly preferred in preparing the famous Fillmjolk, one of the prominent selling products in Nordic. The millennials have started to adopt cheese or yogurt which are made from skimmed milk or skimmed powdered milk owing to its taste-clean labels-and health governing principles. Skim milk has been gaining popularity as the overall protein content doesn’t reduce even after fortification and provides 10% of RDV, the same as whole fat or reduced-fat milk. An increase in the disease burdens along with the preference to consume a low-fat diet has been the prime factor driving the skimmed milk industry forward in the projected period of 2022-2027.

However, consumers tend to avoid the consumption of milk in its very nature. Skimmed milk rightly hits the market sentiment as consumers who are avid milk lovers might just stick to skimmed milk, if not whole milk. Moreover, the health benefits of skimmed milk supersede its former form. For example, the overall protein intake from 200ml of whole milk is close to 7 grams, however, from skimmed milk, it is close to 7.4 grams. Additionally, skimmed milk contains eighteen amino acids which allow for building muscle mass. Further, calcium in skimmed milk is 20ml more than whole milk.
