Anhydrous Milk Fat (AMF), also known as anhydrous butterfat, is a highly concentrated milk fat product obtained by removing almost all moisture and non-fat solids from butter. AMF contains ≥99.8% milk fat and is widely used in dairy, confectionery, bakery, chocolate, and foodservice applications due to its long shelf life, heat stability, and superior flavor profile.
The global AMF market is driven by rising demand for high-quality dairy ingredients, growth in processed food consumption, and the expanding bakery and confectionery industries. Regions such as North America and Europe have mature markets, while Asia-Pacific is emerging due to increasing dairy consumption, urbanization, and growing middle-class populations.
