Anhydrous milk fat (AMF) is a product made from cream or butter that has had almost all the water and nonfat solids removed, resulting in a fat content that exceeds 99 percent of the total volume. Though anhydrous milk fat is a modern industrial product, its roots can be found in the ancient traditional cultures of India and Arab countries, where Ghee, a dairy product with more protein and a more distinct flavour than anhydrous milk fat, has been consumed for centuries.

The accessibility of sustaining anhydrous milk has played a significant role in driving market demand. Preservatives are increasingly being used to produce dairy and bakery products such as packaged yoghurt, cakes, and chocolates. The popularity of milk-flavoured shakes and chocolates has also fueled the expansion of the global anhydrous milk fat market.

The medical benefits of reconstituted milk have become known to the public due to the healthcare industry's efforts to educate the public. Furthermore, the production of lactose-free milk has opened new opportunities for growth in the global anhydrous milk fat market. In recent years, research in the food and beverage industry has gained traction.

Because of its high thermal stability and extended shelf life, AMF has become more popular as an active component. Anhydrous milk fat can be stored at low temperatures for several months, whereas butter goes rancid after a while and requires at least –25°C to be stored. Unlike butter,

AMF can be transported without temperature control, increasing its features and functions and ease of use. This is anticipated to drive anhydrous milk fat growth in developing regions, particularly the Asia Pacific. There is a lack of supply chain infrastructure and proper storage facilities, reducing refrigerated products to major urban agglomerations.

Because AMF is easy to mix into other products, it is used as an ingredient in a variety of products such as caramels, toffees, chocolate, and imitation chocolate, fudges, flavours recombined UHT milk, evaporated milk, ice cream, cheese and yoghurt, soups and sauces, dairy spreads, and so on. This is expected to drive the growth of AMF between 2018-2028. Furthermore, demand for anhydrous milk fat as an ingredient in the dairy industry has increased because it provides firmness, plasticity, lubricity, viscosity, and compatibility with other fats.
