Dairy Alternatives

Dairy alternatives refer to plant-based goods that substitute conventional dairy items such as milk, cheese, and yoghurt. These options are consumed by individuals who experience lactose intolerance, possess dairy allergies, or adhere to vegan or plant-based dietary preferences. These products are crafted using components such as soy, almonds, oats, and coconut and provide choices that cater to different gourmet and dietary requirements. Dairy substitutes have experienced a surge in popularity and are regarded as more ecologically sustainable than conventional dairy farming. Dairy alternatives have garnered considerable interest from both traditional and emerging markets.

The rising prevalence of dairy allergy is likely to be blamed. Increases in health awareness and consumer purchasing have contributed to the development of the dairy alternatives industry. However, the market growth could be improved by the lack of awareness of the safety and health of dairy alternatives and the product's inability to prevent fog in environments with dramatic temperature fluctuations or high humidity. Some people react adversely to certain foods because their immune systems react negatively to specific proteins in certain foods.

Some of the most common allergens are nuts and soy, which can trigger a wide range of reactions in sensitive people, from moderate hives to potentially fatal anaphylaxis. Soy proteins are a common allergen, and they are found in many dairy alternatives, such as soy milk, soy cheese, and soy yoghurt. Those with soy allergies were once told they could safely consume soybean oil and soy lecithin, but it's now been shown that these products still contain tiny amounts of soy protein and could trigger allergic reactions. The global dissemination of new coronaviruses is to blame. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many sectors were shut down to limit the spread of the virus inside communities. The primary reasons that lead to slower market growth are a need for more available personnel, a shortage of available resources, and a slowed supply chain.

Market Segmentation:

The dairy alternatives market is segmented based on source, application, and distribution channel. As per the source, the market is segmented into soy, almond, coconut, oats, and hemp. The application segment is segmented into milk, yoghurt, ice creams, cheese, and creamers. The distribution channel segment consists of retail, online stores, and food services.

Based On The Source, The Soy Dairy Alternatives Market Segment Is A Major Contributor To The Dairy Alternatives Market.

The soy dairy alternatives market is expected to hold a significant global market share in 2024. Soy-based products are growing in popularity and consumption because of their high nutrient density. These items are considered superior dairy alternatives due to their high protein and calcium content.

The Milk Segment Is To Witness Growth At A Rapid Rate.

The milk segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global dairy alternatives market. Plant-based milk is gaining popularity among customers as a healthier alternative to conventional cow's milk. Health concerns, including lactose intolerance and dairy allergies, have led many to switch to plant-based milk, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.

In The Region, The North American Dairy Alternatives Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share.

The North American dairy alternatives market is expected to register the maximum market share in revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to the increase in the use of soymilk, which is cheap and abundant. In response to the rising demand for non-dairy beverages and pasteurized soymilk as dairy alternatives, food producers are releasing new varieties of soymilk with a wide range of flavour profiles. In addition, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow rapidly in the global dairy alternatives market because people have less spare time and more money to spend. Within this movement, the popularity of dairy-free alternatives is forecast to expand at a quicker rate as a result of customer demand.

Recent Developments:

  • In Aug 2023, Oatly Group AB and Deutsche Bahn (DB) have jointly declared the commencement of an expanded partnership that enables the provision of Oatly soft serve in all sixteen DB terminals throughout Germany for the first time.   Last summer, all DB lounge visitors were granted access to Oatly branded self-service stations where they could purchase Vanilla Soft Serve, a plant-based beverage.
  • In June 2023, Brightseed, a bioactives company, collaborated with Blue Diamond to increase knowledge regarding the health benefits of Californian almonds.   Brightseed employed Forager, a proprietary artificial intelligence technology, to discern bioactives, plant-derived molecules that elicit particular health advantages.

This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
