Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global lactose-free food market will grow steadily at a CAGR of over 11% by 2021.

Lactose intolerance is the inability of the body to digest a significant amount of lactose present in milk and dairy products. Some of the key symptoms of lactose intolerance include diarrhea, indigestion and abdominal pain, flatulence, abdominal bloating and distention, and nausea. The growing incidences of food allergies such as lactose intolerance stimulate the demand for lactose-free products since they are highly digestible.
The introduction of lactose-free ice creams is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the lactose-free food market in the coming years. With an increase in the number of people with lactose intolerance across the globe, many manufacturers have started formulating lactose-free food products like ice-creams. Breyers, a brand from Unilever has already started producing ice-creams in different flavors such as lactose-free vanilla and lactose-free chocolate.
