Plant-based Yogurt Market: Rising Health Consciousness and Shift towards Vegan Diets Fueling the Growth of Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternatives

The vegan and flexitarian population is increasing rapidly across the globe. Plant-based yogurts are being perceived as more sustainable and better for the environment as compared to dairy-based yogurts. Plant-based yogurt products are either made from nut-based milk or cereals, legumes, or seeds-based milk.

The Plant-based Yogurt market is experiencing remarkable growth as consumers increasingly adopt vegan and dairy-free alternatives. With a surge in health-consciousness and environmental concerns, plant-based yogurt offers a nutritious and sustainable option. The market’s expansion is driven by continuous product innovation and rising consumer demand for ethical and plant-powered food choices.

Customers are seeking for substances that they do not want in their meals, as nutritional content continues to be an essential aspect in driving the purchase of plant-based yoghurts. This includes extra sugar and substances with a chemical odour. Plant-based yoghurt manufacturers are conducting numerous studies to increase flavour, taste, and texture. They’re manufacturing yoghurt with strange bases like hemp or oat, in flavours like mango and blueberry.

Increasing Demand for Plant-based Products Boosts Growth Prospects 

Plant-based yogurts are manufactured from sources such as legumes, seeds, nuts and grains, especially from soy, coconut, almond, and oats, which are all plant-based. Since the demand for plant-based ingredients and products is skyrocketing in the food and beverage industry, the non-dairy yogurt market is expected to witness significant growth.

Besides this, the increasing incidences of health issues associated with dairy products, increasing vegan and flexitarian population, and growing concern about animal welfare is leading to increasing market prospects for plant-based yogurts.

According to the Plant-based Food Association, in 2019 plant-based yogurts generated maximum sales in U.S. than other plant-based products such as milk, cheese, and butter among others. According to a Forbes report, animal milk and dairy products sales are declining rapidly with almost 11% drop as predicted in sales between 2015 and 2020.
