Market Growth Factors

1. Increased Health Awareness and Digestive Wellness
   A2 milk has come under notice for its digestive lightness as functional foods have become increasingly popular worldwide. Containing just A2 beta-casein protein, it is viewed as a better alternative to conventional milk, which comprises both A1 and A2 proteins. A2 milk is a perfect dietary replacement for lactose-sensitive consumers or those with milk-related digestive distress. The market expansion is fueled by growing consumer awareness of these advantages.
   
   

2. Strengthening Distribution Networks
   Improved reach of customers is being achieved by means of greater availability of A2 milk through several retail outlets including supermarkets, neighborhood stores, and online platforms. Attracting health-conscious customers, supermarkets and hypermarkets are instrumental in showing a wide range of A2 milk kinds. Moreover, the growing e-commerce scene is increasing market penetration and adding simplicity.
