The dairy alternatives market is estimated to be valued at USD 8.24 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 14.36 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.7%. Dairy alternatives are used in food & beverages that are dairy-free or do not contain lactose. These food products are especially suitable for lactose-intolerant consumers. Globally, the health benefits of dairy alternatives have led to their large-scale adoption in numerous applications. Changing lifestyles, growing health awareness, increasing instances of lactose allergy, and growing application sectors are some factors driving the growth of the dairy alternatives market.
The dairy alternatives market has been segmented, based on type, into almond, soy, coconut, oat, rice, and hemp. The soy milk segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016. The dominance of this segment is mainly driven by the surplus soy milk varieties in terms of flavors, blends, fat content, and formulations offered by leading dairy alternative manufacturers. It is also coupled with the increasing awareness about the nutritional benefits of soy-based products and easy availability of convenient & healthy dairy-free soy milk. The almond milk segment, on the basis of type, accounted for the second-largest share in 2016, owing to its health benefits as well as the easy availability of raw materials.
Based on application, the dairy alternatives market has been segmented into food and beverages. The food application of the dairy alternatives market is estimated to account for a larger market share due to the usage of plant-based ingredients in applications such as cheese, creamer, yogurt, pudding, and ice cream.
The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest share in 2016, due to the rising consumer demand for plant-based food, along with the growing prevalence of lactose intolerance. The food & beverage market in the Asia-Pacific region is currently undergoing a transformation in response to rapid urbanization, diet diversification, and the liberalization of foreign direct investment in the food sector. North America is projected to be the fastest-growing region from 2017 to 2022, due to its large almond milk market, a strong inclination toward a vegan diet, and growth in a number of manufacturers in the region.
Though most dairy alternatives are similar to dairy milk in terms of texture and taste, the price of dairy milk is relatively lower than that of its alternatives. The dairy industry in most countries operates in an organized structure and has a lower rate of turnover tax, which reduces the price of the product. On the other hand, the price of dairy alternatives depends on the supply of raw materials. Changes in climatic conditions have resulted in the shortage of raw materials, which in turn, has increased their prices. For instance, the price of raw materials is increasing due to the poor harvesting of crops in Asian countries such as India and Pakistan. Such fluctuations are posing challenges to the dairy alternatives market. Further, clinical trials and safety testing require substantial investments. Significant investments in R&D activities, laboratories, and research equipment, and hiring trained professionals also pose a barrier to this market.
The market is dominated by key players such as Whitewave Foods (U.S.), The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (U.S.), Blue Diamond Growers (U.S.), and SunOpta Inc. (Canada). Other players include Freedom Foods (Australia), Eden Foods (U.S.), Nutriops SL. (Spain), Earth's Own Food Company Inc. (Canada), Triballat Noyal (France), Valsoia S.p.A (Italy), and Dφhler GmbH (Germany). Innovative new product launches, acquisitions, joint ventures, expansions, partnerships, and agreements were the key strategies adopted by these players to enhance their product offerings and capture a larger market share, which has thus increased the demand for dairy alternatives market.
