With rising birth rates throughout the world, it is expected that demand for milk and milk-based products would increase. Processed milk, milk powder, and protein concentrates are used in cereals, baby meals, and infant formulae because of their high nutrient content. They supply a range of proteins, vitamins, and minerals that are good for the overall growth of babies. Growing worries about newborn health and wellness will lead to an increase in the use of infant formula, which will fuel market expansion.

Automation to Drive the Manufacturing Industry: Modern automation solutions are created to make sure that every step of the production of milk and dairy products complies with technology. The competitiveness of the dairy processing sector is greatly influenced by the level of automation, manufacturing efficiency, effective cleaning, sanitary design, and, ultimately, food safety.
