Dairy Alternatives Market Definition and Overview
Dairy alternatives are typically
foods that imitate milk-derived products, including milk, yoghurt, butter,
cheese, ice creams, and others. The most significant benefit of dairy
alternatives is their lower carbon concentration as compared to the milk
produced by livestock. The increasing incidences of lactose intolerance are
influencing individuals to opt for dairy-free products. As per available data,
by the age of 20, nearly 30 million American adults get some level of lactose intolerance.
Furthermore, the increasing influence of veganism in several countries,
including U.S. is fueling a demand for dairy alternative products, resulting in
a steady growth of around 10% over the next few years. As per available data, plant-based
milk is the largest and fastest-growing plant-based dairy alternative in North
America.
North America Dairy Alternatives Market Outlook, Drivers and
Challenges
The
Dairy Alternatives market North America is expected to witness strong growth
over the next five years, primarily driven by the rising consumers’ environmental concerns which are
positively influencing an increase in the adoption of dairy alternatives in
North America. They typically use less land, water to produce vegan milks, and
emit lower carbon emissions which helps in mitigating the effects of global
warming and improve the air quality. As per available data, livestock accounts
for nearly 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with the dairy industry
holding the largest share.
The increasing popularity of
lactose-free products, including milk among individuals is anticipated to boost
the dairy alternatives market growth in the forthcoming years. In addition, the
rising health awareness among consumers, notably those who are unable to digest
lactose, has resulted in an increase in the consumption of lactose-free
products as they typically help in the absorption of calcium which benefits in building
and repairing muscle tissue/cells. For instance, in the U.S as per available
data, volume of value-added milks, including lactose-free, non-dairy milk, and
organic milk increased ~15% in 2021 compared to the prior year, while
traditional milk volumes declined by ~7%.

The lack of consumer awareness
regarding dairy-free products is one of the major challenges to the growth of the
dairy alternatives market. The lack of nutritional awareness is likely to be a
concern for those who eat a healthy balanced diet and do not depend solely on
milk as an important protein source. The continued purchase of dairy products
by consumers indicates that the portfolio of dairy alternatives has yet to
capture the potential customer base.

Impact of Covid-19 on North America Dairy Alternatives Market
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has
adversely affected the market growth of dairy alternatives in 2020 due to the
lockdowns imposed by several governments across countries to prevent the spread
of the virus. The demand was high, but the disrupted supply chain, limited
transportation, lower workforce capacity, and restricted trade/import &
export had halted the manufacturing of dairy alternative products, resulting in
lower sales. During the months of lockdowns, numerous individuals, particularly
those affected by the virus, have shifted their purchasing preferences towards
dairy alternatives. Rising health consciousness and awareness has led consumers
to prefer lactose-free products due to the health benefits associated with them.
Furthermore, many manufacturers of dairy alternatives have seen a significant
increase in the sale of dairy alternative products through e-commerce platforms
rather than retail stores since 2020 due to the store closure across countries.
