According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Plant-Based Beverages Market is accounted for $35.50 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $82.55 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 15.1% during the forecast period. Plant-based beverages are drinks made from plant-derived ingredients, serving as alternatives to traditional dairy products. These beverages include plant-based milks (such as almond, soy, oat, and coconut), fruit and vegetable juices, plant-based waters, and protein drinks. Free from animal products, they are often preferred by individuals following vegan, lactose-free, or dairy-free diets. Plant-based beverages are gaining popularity due to their perceived health benefits, sustainability, and growing demand for dairy alternatives in response to rising consumer awareness around food and environmental choices.

According to a research study conducted by British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) in January 2021, younger consumers aged between 18 and 40 years are more likely to choose a plant-based diet and are the primary promoter of plant-based beverage trends across the globe.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising consumer health consciousness

As more individuals become aware of the health risks associated with excessive dairy consumption, such as high cholesterol and lactose intolerance, many are turning to plant-based alternatives for a healthier lifestyle. Almond, oat, and soy milk are examples of plant-based beverages that are thought to be lower in calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol, making them a healthier choice for anyone trying to make dietary changes. These drinks are also frequently high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which appeals to customers who are health-conscious. Consumers are increasingly choosing these beverages as part of a more comprehensive, health-conscious approach to nutrition as a result of increased understanding of the advantages of plant-based diets.

Restraint:

Short shelf life

For fresh, unprocessed choices in particular, the market is severely hampered by the short shelf life of many plant-based beverages. Compared to conventional dairy products, these drinks-like fresh almond or oat milk-are more prone to spoiling since they don't contain natural preservatives or preservatives. Additionally, because producers must carefully manage distribution and storage to guarantee product freshness, shorter shelf life result in higher logistics costs. In order to combat this, developments in preservation techniques and packaging technologies, like as aseptic processing, are being investigated to increase shelf life without sacrificing flavour or nutritional value.

Opportunity:

Rising awareness about animal welfare

Plant-based substitutes are becoming more popular as consumers' concerns about the moral treatment of animals, especially in dairy farming, grow. People are looking for more humane alternatives as a result of the cruelty associated with the production of dairy products, which includes methods such as separating calves from their mothers and keeping dairy cows in cramped quarters. Plant-based drinks provide a cruelty-free option that fits well with the expanding ethical consumer movement. This change is especially noticeable among Gen Z and millennials, who are becoming more and more pro-sustainable practices and animal rights. The need for plant-based beverages is predicted to increase as knowledge grows, which would help the market's growth even more.

Threat:

Limited consumer awareness

Customers in some areas are still ignorant about the range and advantages of plant-based beverages, frequently connecting them mainly to specialized diets like veganism. Furthermore, there might be misunderstandings regarding their flavour or nutritional worth in comparison to more conventional dairy products. The broad acceptance of plant-based beverages may be hampered by this ignorance, particularly in areas where dairy consumption is highly prevalent. In order to break through this barrier and promote market expansion, manufacturers must fund educational initiatives, raise product awareness through traditional retail channels, and emphasize the advantages for the environment and human health.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the plant-based beverages market. Heightened awareness of zoonotic diseases and a desire for healthier lifestyles spurred consumer interest in plant-based alternatives. Disruptions to traditional meat supply chains further boosted demand for plant-based options. This increased demand led to increased production and innovation within the plant-based beverage sector, driving market growth.

The dairy alternatives segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The dairy alternatives segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to increasing health consciousness, with an emphasis on reducing saturated fat and cholesterol intake, fuels consumer interest. Lactose intolerance and dairy allergies significantly contribute to the shift towards plant-based options. Moreover, ethical concerns surrounding animal welfare and the environmental impact of dairy farming are increasingly influencing consumer choices.

The convenience stores segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the convenience stores segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. Their widespread accessibility, extended hours, and impulse-purchase nature make them ideal channels for consumers seeking quick and convenient options. The growing demand for on-the-go consumption, coupled with the increasing availability of plant-based alternatives, has significantly boosted sales within this retail segment. Moreover, strategic product placement, targeted promotions, and collaborations with plant-based brands further enhance the visibility and appeal of these beverages in convenience stores, driving market growth.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, due to Rising health consciousness among consumers, coupled with increasing lactose intolerance and a growing preference for vegan and vegetarian diets, are significantly fueling demand. Moreover, rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles are driving the adoption of convenient and on-the-go food and beverage options, including plant-based beverages. Additionally, the region's large and diverse population, coupled with increasing disposable incomes, presents significant growth opportunities for the plant-based beverage sector.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to growing lactose intolerance rates, and a strong preference for vegan and vegetarian diets are fueling demand. Moreover, the region boasts a well-established market for plant-based products, with significant investments from both established food companies and emerging start-ups. This has led to a diverse range of innovative and high-quality plant-based beverages, further driving market growth.
