The lactase market in Estonia is expanding as more consumers turn to lactase supplements to manage lactose intolerance. Lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, is essential for those who are lactose intolerant and seek to enjoy dairy products without discomfort. As awareness of lactose intolerance increases, especially among adults, the demand for lactase supplements is growing. Additionally, the rising popularity of plant-based alternatives and functional foods that incorporate lactase to make dairy products easier to digest is further fueling the market. This trend reflects the increasing focus on digestive health and wellness in Estonia.
The lactase market in Estonia grows as awareness of lactose intolerance increases. The demand for lactose-free dairy products and dietary supplements drives the market for lactase enzymes.
The lactase market in Estonia is challenged by the growing competition from alternative dairy-free products. While lactase supplements and enzyme products are used to help individuals with lactose intolerance, the rise of plant-based milks such as oat, almond, and soy milk is decreasing reliance on lactase-based solutions. Additionally, consumer education about the benefits of lactase is still limited, which can affect market growth. Another challenge is the regulation of enzyme-based products, which varies by region and can lead to delays in product approvals and market entry.
Estonian policies in the lactase market focus on supporting the development and availability of lactase-based products, particularly for individuals with lactose intolerance. The government encourages innovation in enzyme technologies while ensuring compliance with EU food safety regulations and promoting the benefits of lactose-free diets.
