Impact of COVID-19 on Colostrum Market Growth

Many started consuming colostrum products such as capsules and powder to strengthen their immune system against COVID-19. The pandemic increased awareness about health, nutrition, and immunity-boosting foods and beverages globally. This boosted the demand for colostrum in the post-pandemic period. People now prefer colostrum over other alternatives due to its rich vitamin, mineral, and antibody content that can aid recovery from viral infections.

Manufacturers are focusing on increasing production capacities and ensuring stable supply chains to cater to rising demand. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of preventive healthcare and boosting immunity naturally. This is likely to drive long-term demand for colostrum if its health benefits are effectively communicated to consumers. However, high commodity and freight costs due to ongoing global disruptions remain a challenge.
