United Kingdom Dairy Alternatives Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the United Kingdom Dairy Alternatives Market is estimated to reach USD 7.88 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 17.89%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the United Kingdom Dairy Alternatives Market, including market size and trends, product mix, distribution channels, and supplier analysis. Dairy alternatives are non-dairy goods that are intended to replace typical dairy items, providing options for people who prefer to avoid or are unable to consume animal-derived dairy. Plant-based equivalents such as soy, almond, oat, coconut, and rice have been fashioned into milk, cheese, yoghurt, and other dairy-like products. Lactose intolerance, ethical concerns about animal cruelty, and a heightened awareness of environmental sustainability are driving the increased demand for these alternatives. This shift mirrors a broader cultural trend towards more inclusive and sustainable food options as health and lifestyle concerns evolve.
- November 2022: Oatly Group AB announced the launch of a new line of oat-based yoghurt. The new flavours include strawberry, blueberry, basic, and Greek style.
- October 2022: Plenish has introduced a new plant-based product line. The unsweetened plenish-enriched milk almond, oat, and soy varieties are supplemented with nutrients such as iodine, omega-3, and vitamin D.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
The rising prevalence of lactose intolerance and milk allergy is likely to have a significant impact on the dairy substitute business. Lactose intolerance is a prevalent hereditary condition. Lactose-intolerant people prefer lactose-free, plant-based alternatives to increase their calcium and vitamin intake. Growing consumer health concerns and rising disposable income in established and emerging markets will fuel demand for dairy substitutes. Rising consumer knowledge of the necessity of a healthy diet, as well as rising demand for goods with lower cholesterol and fat content, will provide market competitors with new opportunities. Lactose-free products such as soymilk, almond, coconut, oat, and rice milk are just a few examples of those predicted to grow in demand during the projection period. Furthermore, rising demand for lactose-free food items such as cheese, yoghurt, desserts, and snacks is likely to drive expansion in the dairy alternatives market.
Despite their growing popularity, dairy replacements confront a number of market hurdles. Taste and texture replication is a big problem, as customers frequently compare plant-based alternatives to the sensory experience of traditional dairy products. Achieving a flavour and mouthfeel that nearly resembles dairy can be difficult and requires ongoing innovation. Furthermore, the image of dairy alternatives as being more expensive than traditional dairy products is a financial challenge for some consumers. Distribution and availability can also be challenges because not all regions or stores offer a varied selection of dairy alternatives. Another barrier is the possibility of cross-contamination in production facilities, which limits alternatives for people with severe allergies.
