The global dairy alternatives market is anticipated to reach a value of around USD 22.6 billion by 2020. Dairy substitutes are foods and drinks that can be used in place of dairy. These plant-based foods and drinks are thought to be a healthier alternative to dairy. Soy milk, rice milk, and almond milk are some of the most common dairy alternatives around the world. Dairy alternatives are considered safer since they contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. They're also low in fat and cholesterol, and lactose isn't present.
Dairy alternatives have gained a lot of traction in both the mature and emerging markets. This is due to an increase in the number of people who are allergic to dairy.

Furthermore, the launch of additional healthy ingredients by various market players is one of the other factors driving the market's development. However, the industry is hampered by fluctuating raw material prices and high operating costs. On the contrary, growth in demand for dairy alternatives by vegan population and introduction of new flavor & variety of dairy alternatives is anticipated to provide growth opportunities for the dairy alternatives market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
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 these consumers.
Despite the fact that most dairy alternatives have a feel and taste similar to dairy milk, dairy milk is less expensive than its alternatives. The cost of dairy alternatives is determined by the availability of raw materials; as a result, there are price fluctuations. Raw material scarcity is a challenge for oat milk and many other dairy alternatives, causing prices to rise. One of the most significant constraints to the growth of dairy alternative commodity sales is market uncertainty.
Source Segment
According to one source, almond is the market's fastest-growing segment. High nutritional content, easy availability of raw materials, and increased consumer awareness have all contributed to the growth of almond-based dairy alternatives. Almond has a nutty taste and is suitable for vegans.
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, resulting in an increase 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.
Application Segment
The dairy alternatives market is divided into milk, yogurt, ice creams, cheese, and creamers based on use. Due to growing health issues related to lactose intolerance and consumers' hectic lifestyles, the milk segment dominated the market. Plant-based milk products are nutrient-dense and come in a variety of flavors.
