NEWARK, Del., USA | Jun 1, 2026 — The global Non-fat Dry Milk Market is projected to grow from USD 9.5 billion in 2025 to USD 12.7 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), increasing demand for fortified dairy ingredients, growing consumer preference for shelf-stable nutritional products, and expanding applications across bakery, confectionery, dairy blends, and nutritional supplements are driving sustained market growth worldwide.
