Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled ‘Plant-based Milk Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Type (Almond Milk, Soy Milk, Coconut Milk, Oat Milk, Rice Milk), Formulation (Flavored), Distribution Channel (B2B, B2C [Modern Groceries, Convenience Store]) - Global Forecast to 2031’.

According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the plant-based milk market is projected to reach $52.54 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2024 to 2031. The growth of the plant-based milk market is driven by the high prevalence of lactose intolerance & allergies to cow milk, the growing focus on health & well-being, changing eating habits & consumers’ drive toward sustainability, and increasing investments & government support for plant-based industries. However, the high preference for animal-based milk products and the growing consumption of soy-free & gluten-free products restrain the growth of this market.

Emerging economies in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, the fluctuating raw material prices are a major challenge for market stakeholders.

Key Players

The plant-based milk market is characterized by a moderately competitive scenario due to the presence of many large- and small-sized global, regional, and local players. The key players operating in the plant-based milk market are Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (U.S.), SunOpta Inc. (Canada), Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Company (Australia), Axiom Foods, Inc.

The plant-based milk market is segmented by type (almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, oat milk, rice milk, and other plant-based milk), formulation (unflavored and flavored), distribution channel (business-to-business and business-to-consumer {modern groceries, convenience stores, specialty stores, online retail stores, and other b2c distribution channels), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

Based on type, the plant-based milk market is mainly segmented into almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, oat milk, rice milk, and other plant-based milk. In 2024, the almond milk segment is expected to account for the largest share of 59.9% of the global plant-based milk market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to factors such as the increasing number of consumers switching to nut-based lactose-free milk, changing taste preferences, and growing health & environmental concerns. Almond milk is entirely plant-based, making it a suitable choice for individuals following vegan or vegetarian diets. The production of almond milk generally has a lower environmental impact compared to dairy milk, as it requires less water and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Based on formulation, the plant-based milk market is segmented into unflavored and flavored plant-based milk. In 2024, the unflavored segment is expected to account for the larger share of 64.4% of the global plant-based milk market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to factors such as the increased consumer demand for naturally dairy-free & sugar-free products and the clean taste and smooth texture of unflavored dairy-free products, which allow for their seamless incorporation into various food and beverage recipes.

Based on the distribution channel, the plant-based milk market is mainly segmented into business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C). In 2024, the business-to-consumer (B2C) segment is expected to account for the larger share of 67.4% of the global plant-based milk market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increased retail sales of plant-based milk in supermarkets & hypermarkets, increased shelf space for plant-based products in modern groceries, rising preference for shopping from brick-and-mortar grocers due to easy access & availability and growing consumer acceptance for vegan & vegetarian dairy alternatives, especially plant-based milk.
