The global plant based yogurt market is anticipated to demonstrate strong growth prospects during the forecast period 2020-2030, registering a double-digit CAGR. As the proportion of flexitarian and vegan population increases, demand for plant-based foods is riding the high wave. Plant-based yogurts are considered more environmentally sustainable compared to dairy-based yogurts.

High nutritional value associated with plant-based yogurts is a key driving factor behind the proliferation of the plant-based yogurt market. Incidentally, consumers are increasingly seeking novelties in yogurt flavors and indulge their sensory experiences. This has prompted market players to invest in product innovations and experimentation with different flavors, thereby accelerating market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the consumption of immunity boosting foods amongst consumers. With the pandemic ushering in a high degree of uncertainty regarding the safety of consuming animal-derived dairy products, consumers are transitioning towards plant-based yogurt as a precautionary measure.

Moreover, declining dairy production due to reduced agricultural activity amid social distancing protocols have generated a demand-supply gap in mainstream dairy products, clearing the pathway for plant-based yogurt manufacturers to establish their supremacy in the yogurt market. Additionally, prevalence of lactose intolerance amongst consumers is encouraging higher consumption of plant-based yogurts.

“Consumer preferences for conventional flavors is eroding at a rapid pace. Their willingness to experiment with different flavor combinations have generated a dynamic pattern in the plant-based yogurt market, inspiring innovations among market players to satiate these sensory experiences,” concludes a leading FMI analyst.
