Protein Innovation & Post-GLP-1 Market

How Can Dairy Ingredients Become the “New Infrastructure” for Weight Loss in the GLP-1 Era?

The global GLP-1 market is projected to surpass $150 billion by 2035, yet 40% of users suffer from side effects such as nausea and muscle loss. This "unhealthy weight loss" pain point presents a major strategic opportunity for the dairy industry, leveraging its natural advantages in high-quality proteins and prebiotics. FrieslandCampina Ingredients will explore how a “Triple Engine”—comprising Premium Protein Blends, Gut Comfort, and Satiety Boost—can mitigate side effects, positioning dairy Ingredients as the essential “Nutritional New Infrastructure” for hundreds of millions of weight-loss consumers worldwide.
