WHO ARE THE CONSUMERS IN THE PLANT-BASED MILK MARKET?

Since 2017, the demand for plant-based dairy beverages has grown exponentially, leading to an increase in the availability of these products on the market. But who exactly are these consumers?

The primary consumers include those who are lactose intolerant, vegans, and vegetarians, followed by a large portion of people who don’t fall into these categories but are concerned about consuming sustainable and health-beneficial products.

According to DataFolha, in Brazil alone, 53 million people report issues related to lactose digestion, making plant-based milk the perfect alternative to animal-derived milk.

In a 2018 IBOPE survey, 14% of Brazilians identified as vegetarians, supporting market research by Euromonitor International, which reported a 51.5% growth in plant-based milks in Brazil.

There is already a wide variety of plant-based milks available as alternatives to animal-derived milks, such as oat milk, cashew milk, almond milk, rice milk, and coconut milk. All these options are sources of vitamins, minerals, and fibers, essential nutrients for health and well-being.
