Market Dynamics

Drivers

Lactose Intolerance and Growing Health Awareness

The demand for dairy alternatives has accelerated due to the growing number of lactose-intolerant and dairy-allergic consumers. Milk and other dairy foods such as ice cream, cheese, and yogurt contain lactose, which is the main carbohydrate. Abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, stomach distension, flatulence, and constipation are some of the signs of lactose intolerance. As consumers become more conscious of healthy eating habits, the rising number of these allergies encourages the consumption of dairy alternatives. As a result, demand for a variety of dairy alternatives, such as plant-based non-dairy products like milk, ice creams, creamers, and cheese, is increasing among the consumers.

Market Tastes and Increased Demand for Organic Foods

Organic foods and beverages have the potential to transform the dairy alternatives market as a whole. Market tastes are shifting toward healthier foods and drinks, owing to increased understanding of the practical health benefits of organic food intake. Clean-label foods and drinks have piqued consumer interest around the world, increasing in demand for organic ingredients. Developing countries such as China and India are expected to see a significant increase in demand for organic food ingredients from the supply side during the forecast period.

Restraint

Allergies associated with Plant-Based Sources Such as Tree Nuts and Almonds

Allergies associated with the plant-based sources used to produce substitute dairy products are one of the major factors limiting the market's growth. Despite the high nutritional value of soybeans, the presence of anti-nutritional components in soy can cause allergies. When the human immune system misinterprets the harmless proteins found in soy as harmful, antibodies are produced to combat them, resulting in a soy allergy. Tree nuts, such as almonds, are another product that causes allergies. As a result, these individuals must avoid almond-based products like almond milk and other non-dairy almond products.
