The market is expected to witness a strong CAGR of 13.81% during 2024-2032. The recent surge in demand for non-dairy products or dairy alternatives has led to a rise in the plant-based milk substitutes. Vegan milk is a suspension of dissolved and disintegrated plant extracts in water as a base. Homogenization and thermal treatments are the two processing techniques utilized to improve the suspension and stability of such plant-derived products. Evolution and improvisation in dietary lifestyles, such as veganism and flexitarianism, fuel the demand for plant milk and associated products.

Halted Manufacturing Units Amid Pandemic Hindered Market Growth

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged people to consume plant-based and healthy food products to improve their immune systems. The low availability of labor and disrupted manufacturing processes greatly impacted the demand and sales of these dairy alternatives. Also, the dairy alternatives market growth was hampered during the initial lockdown phase due to lack of supplies and halted production activities. Furthermore, supply chains were disrupted due to stringent restrictions on import/export policies imposed by governments. However, the leading market players plan to expand their production post-pandemic.
