High prevalence of lactose intolerance in major developed and developing countries

High prevalence of lactose intolerance in major developed and developing countries, rising health consciousness among consumers and growing consumer preference for a vegan diet are the factors driving the growth of the non- dairy yogurt market. According to the study published by National Institute of Health in 2019, approximately 65% of the global population is lactose intolerant and the study of Food Allergy Research & Education in 2019 says, about 2.5% of children below the age of three are allergic to milk. Thus, there is a growing demand for non-dairy yogurt as it is lactose free.

Currently, the trend of exotic and novel flavors is rising rapidly in the food and beverages market. Manufacturers are introducing savory and plant-based yogurts such as squash, carrot and beet. In addition, such plant-based yogurts are filled with protein, attracting the millennial generation. Thus, it creates a positive scenario among consumers in the non-dairy market.

However, fluctuations in the price of raw material and high manufacturing costs are the factors restraining the growth of the non- dairy yogurt market.

Soy yogurt is expected to dominate the global non-dairy yogurt market in the year 2020

Soy yogurt is expected to dominate the global non-dairy yogurt market with revenue share of around 47% in the year 2020. It is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of 20.2% during the forecast period owing to the fact that soy-based yogurt helps to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels in the body. Moreover, these seed-based yogurts are an excellent source of protein when compared to dairy-based yogurt. These benefits are promoting the demand for soy-based vegan products, thereby driving the market.

Moreover, rice yogurt is anticipated to have immense potential over the forecast period. The product has been gaining popularity among customers as rice milk is considered to be the least allergenic milk amongst all the dairy milk alternatives.
