[Research Report] The non-dairy yogurt market size was valued at US$ 2,458.17 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 5,908.01 million by 2030; the market is expected to record a CAGR of 11.6% from 2022 to 2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Non-dairy yogurt is a type of yogurt that is made without any dairy ingredients, such as milk or yogurt cultures derived from dairy. Instead, it is typically produced from plant-based sources like almond, coconut, soy, or cashew milk, and it often contains live bacterial cultures that provide a fermentation process similar to traditional dairy yogurt. This allows people who are lactose intolerant, vegan, or following a dairy-free diet to enjoy a yogurt-like product with similar taste and texture. Increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance and rising veganism trend driving the non-dairy yogurt market growth across the globe.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Non-dairy yogurts are made from almond milk, soymilk, and coconut milk, which are free from lactose. Moreover, plant-based non-dairy yogurt has a similar texture, creaminess, and consistency to conventional yogurt. Moreover, plant-based non-dairy yogurts are fortified with protein, calcium, and other nutrients that meet the nutrient requirements of consumers on a daily basis. Thus, the growing prevalence of lactose intolerance and milk allergies among consumers is boosting the non-dairy yogurt market growth. Furthermore, the United Nations, PETA, Good Food Institute, and many other organizations believe that veganism can play a major role in saving the planet from the climate crisis. Awareness regarding the adverse effects of the livestock industry on the environment is rising among consumers. The growing consumption of plant-based dairy products helps minimize carbon footprints, save water and various other natural resources, and reduce the overall impact on the environment. Thus, rising veganism is driving the market growth. However, the cost of non-dairy yogurt is more than that of conventional yogurt due to the high raw material cost and high production and marketing expenses. This factor can hamper the non-dairy yogurt market growth.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the food & beverages industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the dietary preferences of consumers changed significantly, with many consumers switching to plant-based diets. The demand for dairy alternatives increased significantly during the pandemic due to increased health and wellness concerns. Thus, owing to a rise in health consciousness, the demand for non-dairy yogurt has surged during the pandemic. However, as the manufacturing units remained shut, a production shortfall created a gap between the demand and supply sides. Manufacturers with high product inventories cater to the increasing demand; however, small-scale and mid-scale manufacturers lack product inventories that incur financial losses. These factors negatively impacted the non-dairy yogurt market size.

In 2021, various economies resumed operations as several governments announced relaxation in the previously imposed restrictions, which positively impacted the global marketplace. Moreover, manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap.

Competitive Landscape and Key Companies:

A few of the major players operating in the global non-dairy yogurt market include The Hain Celestial Group Inc, Danone Sa, Springfield Creamery Inc, Lyrical Foods Inc, Coyo Pty Ltd, Valio Ltd, Oatly Group Ab, Daiya Foods Inc, Forager Project LLC, and Harmless Harvest Inc. These market players are adopting strategic development initiatives to expand, further driving the market growth.
