The high growth of dairy alternatives market is mainly attributed to increasing intolerance for animal proteins, nutritional benefits offered by plant-based dairy products, growing investments in dairy alternatives, and increasing vegan and vegetarian population. Moreover, growing demand for vegan products from emerging economies- Asia-pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa expected to create lucrative opportunities for players operating in this market. However, preference for animal-based products and growing preference for soy and gluten-free products are expected to hamper the adoption of dairy alternatives to some extent.

Growing Investments in Dairy Alternatives Drives the Dairy Alternatives Market

In recent years, the alternative dairy food industry has been witnessing investments from large operators looking to capitalize on the veganism trend and surging demand for sustainable foods. Alongside the growing risk profile of livestock production, well-established dairy players are increasingly under attack. This protein diversification has the potential to transform a food company’s core business and value proposition due to its growth, profitability, risk exposure, and ability to compete and innovate.

The growing trend of millennials adopting flexitarian and vegan diets signals a change in purchasing habits that is a significant shift from that of earlier generations. Companies across the food value chain, from producers to retailers, are already investing in these opportunities. Some companies are hedging against or preparing for the decline of demand for animal products by investing in other companies producing alternatives. The market has received investment or funding from several high-profile individuals, financial investors, and companies in the past few years. There was more investment in the alternative proteins market in the first quarter of 2020 than in all of 2019 (Source: Good Food Institute). In 2019, U.S. plant-based meat, egg, and dairy companies received more than $747 million in investments. This is the most capital raised in any single year in the industry’s history.

Thus, growing venture capital investments, which is supporting the growth of plant-based dairy product companies and increasing focus of leading dairy product manufacturers to build up a portfolio of investments in plant-based proteins is expected to drive the growth of the global dairy alternatives.
