In 2023, dry whey production in India stood at 880.0 metric tons. Beginning in 2024, the forecasted data shows a consistent downward trend: 828.7 metric tons in 2024, 769.1 in 2025, 710.7 in 2026, 653.5 in 2027, and 597.4 in 2028. This indicates a year-on-year decrease in production by approximately 7% in 2024, 7.2% in 2025, 7.6% in 2026, 8.1% in 2027, and 8.6% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) expected over this period is -7.75%.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer demand for whey products, advancements in dairy production technology, and shifts in international trade dynamics that may either hinder or enhance production capacities in India.
