Market Overview

Lactoferrin is a globular glycoprotein of the transferrin family. It is commonly present in several fluid secretions of humans such as milk, tears, saliva and nasal secretions. Human colostrum, first milk produced from mammary glands after child birth has highest concentration of lactoferrin. Human milk and cow milk follows colostrum respectively in terms of concentration.

Lactoferrin can be extracted or separated from milk or by using recombinant DNA modification techniques. Lactoferrin is involved in several biological activities such as antimicrobial activity especially in children, stimulation of immune cells and iron absorption. It also aids in bone formation and increase in anti-inflammatory responses of the body. Infants benefit highly from lactoferrin.

Market Drivers 

The numerous health benefits offered by lactoferrin protein in adults as well as infants have increased the demand for lactoferrin products. Factors such as rising prevalence of bacterial and viral infections, its prominent role in immune responses such as anti-inflammation and its ability to absorb iron are expected to drive the market. Advanced techniques to extract lactoferrin from skimmed milk resulting in increased production are also expected to propel the market.

Market Restraints

However, lack of awareness among people and high cost of products are inhibiting the market growth.
