Despite a decline in the growth rate for lactase imports to Cape Verde in 2024, the market remains highly concentrated with top exporters including France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and China. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a competitive landscape dominated by these key players. The negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 suggests a challenging market environment, while the further decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 highlights potential obstacles faced by importers in the industry. Monitoring market dynamics and adapting strategies will be crucial for stakeholders in this segment.

Cape Verde`s lactase market is driven by the rising prevalence of lactose intolerance and the increasing demand for lactose-free dairy products. Lactase supplements help individuals digest lactose, improving their ability to consume dairy products without discomfort. The market`s growth is supported by heightened awareness of lactose intolerance and the availability of lactase supplements in pharmacies and health stores.
The Cape Verde lactase market is influenced by the growing awareness of lactose intolerance and the increasing demand for lactase supplements to aid in the digestion of lactose-containing foods. Rising health consciousness and dietary changes are driving consumers to seek lactase supplements to manage lactose intolerance symptoms. Additionally, the expansion of the dietary supplement industry and increased availability of lactase products in the market are supporting growth.
The Cape Verde lactase market encounters difficulties such as limited consumer demand and high import costs for lactase products. Additionally, the absence of local production facilities means that all lactase products must be imported, further raising prices and reducing market accessibility.
The Cape Verde government supports the lactase market through health policies that address lactose intolerance issues among the population. Regulations ensure that lactase products are safe and effective, and there is encouragement for local production and distribution to make these products more accessible. Government health campaigns also promote the use of lactase supplements to improve the quality of life for those affected by lactose intolerance.
