According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Bovine Alpha-Lactalbumin market size was valued at US$ 59.01 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 177 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 17.1% during review period.
α-lactalbumin is widely present in the milk of mammals, and bovine α-lactalbumin is present in cow's milk. The concentration of bovine α-lactalbumin is closely related to the development and functional status of the cow's breast. α-lactalbumin is an essential protein to ensure the growth of infants, and has great nutritional and physiological significance in infants. The α-lactalbumin in milk has the same function as the α-lactalbumin in breast milk in infant feeding. At the same time, bovine α-lactalbumin can enhance the patient's resistance and strengthen the patient's physique to a certain extent.
Bovine alpha-lactalbumin, as a highly functional whey protein component, has shown important application value in infant nutrition and clinical patient nutrition in recent years. Products with different purity levels (such as 40%-50%, 50%-60% and higher purity) have significant differences in nutritional value, functional ingredient content, solubility and price, which directly determine their application scenarios and market positioning. Low-purity products are mostly used in conventional whey protein formulas, while high-purity bovine alpha-lactalbumin is closer to the structure of human milk protein, rich in key amino acids such as tryptophan and cysteine, and is more suitable for high-end infant formula and postoperative nutritional recovery products, especially for people with incomplete gastrointestinal development.
The world's major bovine alpha-lactalbumin manufacturers are Agropur, Arla Foods Ingredients, Hilmar Cheese Company, Friesland Campina Ingredients, Armor Proteines and Fonterra, among which the top three manufacturers have a market share of nearly 60%, and the largest manufacturer is Agropur. The global production of bovine α-lactalbumin is mainly distributed in North America, Europe and China, among which the top three production regions have a market share of nearly 80%, and Europe is currently the largest production region. In terms of its products, bovine α-lactalbumin with a total protein content of 40%-50% has a market share of nearly 50%, followed by bovine α-lactalbumin with a total protein content of 50%-60%. In terms of its application, infant nutrition is the largest application area, with a market share of more than 80%, followed by patients.
With the increasing awareness of consumers about "breast milk protein" and "precision amino acid nutrition", and the transformation of the infant milk powder market from "feeding type" to "functional type", bovine α-lactalbumin is rapidly rising from an auxiliary ingredient in formula powder to a "main functional ingredient". The future development trend will focus on high-purity, high-activity, and low-denaturation processing, and expand to new scenarios such as sports rehabilitation, neuromodulation, and elderly nutrition. Manufacturers should increase R&D investment in separation and purification technologies (such as membrane filtration, ion exchange, and high-efficiency chromatography), and develop joint R&D mechanisms with infant formula companies to tap into their "functional nutrition" potential. In addition, further improving product batch stability and functional consistency through technical means will become the key to opening up the high-end nutritional product market and expanding international export share. Bovine α-lactalbumin is no longer just a protein label for milk powder, but is becoming an important platform for cross-innovation in nutritional science and dairy technology.
