The growth of the dairy alternatives market is primarily driven by the rising consumer focus on nutritional value, increasing demand for plant-based dairy alternatives, and growth in the case count of lactose intolerance and milk allergies. Moreover, changing lifestyles of consumers across developed countries and growing production of dairy alternatives in developing countries are expected to create opportunities for manufacturers in the global market over the forecast period. However, volatile prices of raw materials and the uncertainty about future availability are expected to hamper the growth of the global dairy alternatives market in the coming years.
Global Dairy Alternatives Market Size, 2016-2026, (US$ Mn)
Based on type, soy dominated the market for dairy alternatives in 2018.
Soy is one of the most popular types of dairy alternatives owing to is low fat content (4.5g in 1 cup of serving), high protein content (8g in 1 cup of serving), high calcium content (300g in 1 cup of serving), and other nutritional value. Soymilk contains isoflavones, a phytonutrient which has cancer fighting properties. Soy-based dairy alternatives have various health benefits as they contain higher content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats compared to saturated fats. Saturated fats are high in cholesterol that can cause heart problems, which can be avoided by people by consuming dairy alternatives. In addition to this, daily consumption of soy protein reduces LDL (low-density lipoproteins) cholesterol. As soymilk is the perfect alternative to conventional milk, its demand is increasing in the global dairy alternatives market.
Milk product type dominated the market segment for dairy alternatives product throughout the forecast period.
Based on product, the global dairy alternatives market has been segmented into milk, ice creams, yogurt, cheese & creamers, infant formula, and others. The milk product type accounted for approximately 24.07% share in the global dairy alternatives market in 2018.
Dairy alternative milk is most widely consumed, followed by ice creams, yogurt, and cheese & creamers. The key players in the dairy alternatives market are developing new products to cater to the rising consumer demand and to gain a competitive market share. For instance, in December 2018, Silk, a plant-based food manufacturer introduced a new line of oat milk named ‘Oat Yeah’ to cater to the rising consumer demand. In January 2014, Toats, an America-based vegan company launched oat milk in vanilla flavour. The market for dairy alternative milk primarily exists in urban areas where people are health conscious and are ready to try new products.
Based on sales channel, the supermarkets /hypermarkets segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 10.5% throughout the forecast period
Based on the distribution channel, the market has been segmented into online and offline distribution channels. The offline distribution channel is expected to hold the largest market share of 88.32% in 2026, owing to consumer preference for purchasing dairy alternatives daily and from convenience stores and supermarkets/hypermarkets. The supermarkets /hypermarkets sales channel, among the offline channel, held the largest share in the dairy alternatives market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 10.5% during the forecast period.
An increase in the development as well as the easy availability of fresh stocks across convenience stores in developing countries is expected to increase its market share in the global dairy alternatives market. However, the presence of unorganized and local unauthorized manufacturers is expected to hamper the growth of sales from supermarkets /hypermarkets in the global market.
Asia-Pacific to dominate the dairy alternatives market throughout the forecast period
Asia-Pacific accounted for 36.80% share of the global dairy alternatives market in 2018 and is expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. Rapid urbanization and liberalization of foreign direct investment in the food sector are the major driving factors for this regional market. Moreover, increasing awareness about the benefits of non-dairy milk and the tag of the largest producer of non-dairy milk products will increase the dominance of Asia Pacific region in the global dairy alternatives market in the future.
One of the major reasons behind the growing adoption of dairy alternatives is lactose intolerance among the population in this region. There are approximately forty times more people suffering from lactose intolerance in Asian countries compared to European countries. Approximately 90-100% adults in East Asia and 80% in Central Asia are lactose intolerant. During the period 2018-2023, lactose intolerance is expected to grow at a double rate in this region, which is further expected to accelerate the market demand for dairy alternatives. Asia Pacific is the major market for dairy alternative manufacturers, owing to the presence of a larger population suffering from lactose intolerance in the region.
