Casein - U.S.

Released on September 25, 2025

Prices for acid casein were unchanged across the range this week. Contacts 
report milk output is increasing in Oceania, enabling manufacturers to increase 
their acid casein production. In Oceania, demand is strengthening but interest 
from purchasers in other regions is declining. Stakeholders say production is 
in good balance with demand, keeping spot loads available for purchasing, but 
preventing inventories from growing excessively.

The rennet casein price range held steady this week. In Europe, increasing milk 
output is contributing to an uptick in rennet casein production. Demand is 
steady in Europe and from purchasers in other regions. Spot loads of rennet 
casein are becoming more available, but stakeholders say the majority of recent 
production is committed to contractual obligations, helping to manage 
inventories.
