Donkey Milk Market to Grow with a CAGR of 11.8% Globally through 2029

Global Donkey Milk Market is propelled by perceived health benefits, expanding applications in cosmetics and skincare, and the alignment with ethical and sustainable farming practices.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Global Donkey Milk Market - Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2029”, the Global Donkey Milk Market stood at USD 27.98 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 11.8% in the forecast period, 2025-2029. Donkey milk, historically known as an elixir and valued for its health benefits, has gained renewed attention in the modern era. While it might not be as commonly consumed as cow or goat milk, donkey milk has gained traction due to its nutritional value, especially in regions like Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. Its use isn't limited to just dietary consumption; it's increasingly incorporated into skincare products, owing to its hydrating and rejuvenating properties.

The history of donkey milk dates back to ancient times. Legend has it that Queen Cleopatra of Egypt indulged in daily donkey milk baths for their purported skin-smoothing properties. In ancient Rome, donkey milk was considered a remedy for various health issues. Though its popularity waned over the centuries, the recent revival of interest in natural and alternative health solutions has brought donkey milk back into the spotlight. Donkey milk production isn’t as extensive as that of other dairy animals due to lower milk yields. However, the milk is highly nutritious, containing lower fat content compared to cow's milk while offering high levels of lactose, vitamins (especially vitamin C), and minerals like calcium and potassium. The labor-intensive nature of extracting donkey milk, coupled with the limited yield per donkey, makes its production a specialized endeavor. The nutritional profile of donkey milk is what makes it an attractive option for health-conscious consumers. Its low fat content makes it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or certain digestive issues. Moreover, the unique composition of vitamins and minerals in donkey milk contributes to its potential health benefits, including boosting the immune system, aiding in digestion, and supporting skin health. The global donkey milk market has seen a gradual but steady growth trajectory, primarily driven by increased consumer awareness about the health benefits of natural and alternative products. Notably, the beauty and skincare industry have embraced donkey milk for its cosmetic applications. It's being used in creams, soaps, and lotions, tapping into its hydrating and anti-aging properties. Despite its rising popularity, the donkey milk market faces challenges, including limited availability, high production costs, and the ethical considerations of milking donkeys. However, ongoing research, technological advancements in farming practices, and increased consumer interest in natural products are expected to drive the market forward.
