Plant-based milk, derived from soy, almond, oat, and coconut sources, has become a versatile and widely embraced alternative to traditional dairy. Its applications span from beverages such as coffee and smoothies to diverse uses in cooking and baking, offering a dairy-free option without compromising taste or texture. Beyond its culinary flexibility, plant-based milk boasts health advantages, often fortified with essential nutrients and lower in saturated fats. It caters to various dietary preferences, aligning with vegan, lactose-free, and vegetarian lifestyles. Plant-based milk production tends to be more environmentally sustainable than traditional dairy, further contributing to its growing popularity among consumers seeking ethical and sustainable food choices.
According to Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the Plant-Based Milk Market is growing with a CAGR of 12.4% in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030 and is expected to reach USD 50,066.21 million by 2030.
"Rapid Increase in the Vegan Population Boosts the Market Growth"
The surging global trend toward veganism, driven by increased health consciousness and a desire for natural and organic foods, has substantially fueled the growth of the plant-based milk market. Over the past decade, a growing vegan population has shifted toward plant-based diets, citing benefits such as a reduced risk of diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. This shift has prompted a notable segment of the vegan and flexitarian community to incorporate plant-based milk into their daily dietary choices. The expanding consumer base adopting vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian lifestyles is a pivotal factor propelling the global plant-based milk market forward, reflecting the broader shift towards plant-based alternatives in the food and beverage industry.
What restraints the growth of global plant-based milk market?
"Rise in Nut allergies"
The escalating prevalence of nut allergies, particularly among children and adults, serves as a significant constraint for the plant-based milk market. The potential for severe and life-threatening reactions and heightened health consciousness among consumers have led to declining sales growth. Tree nuts and seeds, common ingredients in plant-based milk alternatives, are recognized triggers for severe allergic reactions, impacting the market's appeal to individuals with allergies. The absence of a definitive treatment for nut allergies means that those affected tend to avoid products containing nuts, including plant-based milk. This growing population of consumers with nut allergies limits the market's potential consumer base, presenting a persistent challenge for the plant-based milk industry as it navigates the broader landscape of dietary preferences and health concerns.
