The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Dairy cultures Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Dairy cultures are microorganisms that are used in the production of dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, kefir, and sour cream. These microorganisms are typically bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Streptococcus, that convert lactose (the natural sugar in milk) into lactic acid. Dairy cultures are responsible for the characteristic taste, texture, and aroma of dairy products. For example, the bacteria used in yogurt production give the yogurt its tangy flavor and thick texture. In cheese production, different cultures are used to produce specific types of cheese with distinct flavors and textures.

Dairy cultures are added to the milk before it is processed, and they are responsible for the fermentation process that transforms the milk into the final product. They play an essential role in the production of many dairy products and are critical for ensuring quality and consistency in the final product.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic decreased the Market Demand

COVID-19 has disrupted the dairy supply chain, from farm to retail. The lockdowns, travel restrictions, and reduced workforce have led to difficulties in procuring and transporting raw materials, which has impacted the production of dairy cultures.

This has led to an increased demand for functional foods, including dairy cultures.
