It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.2%, earning revenue of around USD 47.4 billion by the end of 2028. The market is flourishing at a high rate owing to the increasing disposable income of the customers and changing lifestyles and eating habits.

Increasing Consciousness Towards Animal Cruelty is Boosting the Global Dairy Alternatives Market
Consumers are increasingly becoming conscious of what they are consuming and how their consumption is affecting the environment. They are becoming more aware of the animal cruelty happening in the dairy industry. According to Animal Equality India, the milk-producing animals only produce milk for their off-springs. Therefore, they are forcefully impregnated every year, which runs in a cycle of cruelty. Furthermore, a dairy farm produces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. This is prompting the shift towards dairy alternatives.
