Primary Growth Driver Shaping The Milk Substitutes (Non dairy milk) Market Outlook
A growing consumer preference for vegan diets is propelling the milk substitute market. This trend is driven by increasing consumer awareness of animal welfare concerns in dairy farming, leading to a reduction in the consumption of animal-derived products. Plant-based milk alternatives offer several health benefits, being cholesterol-free, rich in vitamin D and proteins, and providing higher calcium content than animal milk. For instance, in April 2024, the Good Food Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that in 2023, the US plant-based milk category, which is the largest segment within plant-based foods, achieved US$2.9 billion in retail sales. Additionally, nearly 44% of US households purchased plant-based milk at least once during the year. Consequently, the rising consumer preference for vegan food is expected to continue driving the milk substitute market.
