Replacer products refer to formulated feed specifically designed to replace natural milk for feeding young livestock (such as calves, lambs, piglets, etc.) through processes like spray drying. These products are made by mixing dairy by-products, plant proteins, fats, and trace nutrients. The upstream supply chain mainly consists of suppliers of whey powder, skimmed milk powder, soy protein isolate, coconut oil, palm oil, and various vitamins and minerals; the downstream connects to large-scale livestock farms, family farms, and feed distributors. The global average price in 2025 is $2,750 per ton, with a global sales volume of 16.7 million tons and a total global production capacity of 21 million tons. The industry profit margin is 18%.

The future trends in the infant formula market will focus deeply on "precision nutrition" and "antibiotic-free production". With the advancement of biotechnology, adding functional ingredients such as immunoglobulins, probiotics, and organic acids to enhance the immunity of young animals has become a standard practice in the industry. The core driving factors for market development include: Firstly, the growth in global dairy product consumption has led to the large-scale farming of dairy cows, making farmers more inclined to sell whole milk for profit and switch to using cost-effective infant formulas; Secondly, the popularization of early animal nutrition science has shown that infant formulas can effectively reduce the risk of disease transmission (such as Johne's disease) and increase the retention rate; Finally, the maturity of non-lactose protein extraction technology has significantly reduced the impact of raw material cost fluctuations on the industry.
