$72.14 million is the projected size of the global donkey market by 2034, up from $35.76 million in 2025 and $38.66 million expected in 2026.
Cow-milk allergy demand and premium beauty products are driving growth, with donkey milk marketed as a hypoallergenic nutrition alternative and a natural ingredient for luxury skincare.
Liquid products held a 65.2% market share in 2025, while cosmetics and personal care led applications at 55%; direct farm sales dominated channels with a 60.4% share.
Powdered milk and online sales are forecast to grow fastest—at 12.5% and 14.8% CAGR respectively—because they extend shelf life and widen export and digital distribution.
Low milk yields, high production costs, fragmented regulation and strict animal-welfare rules still limit mass-market expansion despite rising interest in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical uses.
