Milk Substitutes (Non dairy milk) Market Development Factors: Which Trends Are Supporting Demand?
The increasing consumer preference for vegan food is a key driver for the milk substitute market. Consumers are becoming more aware of animal cruelty in dairy farming and are therefore opting for animal-free products. Vegan milk offers several health benefits, including being cholesterol-free, rich in vitamin D and proteins, and providing more calcium compared to animal milk. For example, in April 2024, the Good Food Institute, a US-based non-profit, reported that the US plant-based milk category, the largest segment within plant-based foods, generated US$2.9 billion in retail sales in 2023, with nearly 44% of US households purchasing plant-based milk at least once during that year. This rising consumer inclination towards vegan food is expected to continue propelling the milk substitute market.
