According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Dairy Alternatives Market Report by Source (Almond, Soy, Oats, Hemp, Coconut, Rice, and Others), Formulation Type (Plain, Flavored), Nutrient (Protein, Starch, Vitamin, and Others), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Stores, and Others), Product Type (Cheese, Creamers, Yogurt, Ice Creams, Milk, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global dairy alternatives market size reached USD 34.1 Billion in 2024. Dairy alternatives are products that are used as substitutes for traditional dairy products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter. They can be made from plan- based ingredients or non-dairy animal sources like milk of goat or sheep. They are designed to mimic the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of dairy products, which makes them suitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant, follow a vegan or vegetarian diet or prefer to avoid dairy for health and environmental reasons.

With the increasing number of lactose intolerant individuals and the growing adoption of veganism, there is a rise in the demand for dairy alternative products. This represents one of the major factors augmenting the market growth around the world. Moreover, the increasing consumer awareness about the benefits of consuming plant-based food products is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, product manufacturers are financing advertising campaigns through social media endorsements for improving their existing sales and profitability. Apart from this, rising sales of dairy alternative products via various online food delivery applications due to the easy availability, busy lifestyles, numerous payment methods, and doorstep delivery facility is strengthening the growth of the market.
