Plant-Based Milk Market to Reach USD 52.4 Billion by 2035, Fueled by Demand for Nutritional Wellness Trends

The plant-based milk market is witnessing rapid growth driven by rising health consciousness, lactose intolerance, and increasing vegan lifestyles.

NEWARK, DE, UNITED STATES, June 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global plant-based milk market is forecast to surge from USD 21.9 billion in 2025 to USD 52.4 billion by 2035, registering a robust CAGR of 9.1% over the forecast period. This remarkable growth is attributed to the rising popularity of dairy-free diets, increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance, and heightened focus on sustainability and animal welfare. As consumers shift toward health-conscious lifestyles, plant-based milk is gaining rapid traction as a suitable alternative to traditional dairy.

Plant-based milk refers to a non-dairy beverage crafted from plant sources such as nuts (e.g., almond), grains (e.g., oats), legumes (e.g., soy), or seeds (e.g., hemp). Designed to mimic the appearance and functionality of animal milk, it is widely used in coffee, smoothies, cereals, and cooking. Available in a wide variety of flavors and formulations, these products are not only suitable for vegans and lactose-intolerant individuals but are also fortified with essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and B12, making them a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.

Plant-Based Milk Market Surges Amid Rising Demand for Vegan, Lactose-Free, and Sustainable Dairy Alternatives

The global plant-based milk market is undergoing a significant transformation as consumer preferences shift toward healthier and more sustainable beverage options. Growing awareness of lactose intolerance, environmental concerns, and the health benefits of dairy-free milk are major drivers accelerating market expansion. According to recent industry reports, the market is poised for substantial growth, projected to witness a steady surge from 2025 to 2035.

The increasing popularity of vegan milk beverages, particularly oat milk, almond milk, and soy milk, is shaping new consumption patterns. These products are not only recognized for their nutritional benefits but also for their minimal environmental footprint compared to traditional dairy products.

Rising Demand for Almond, Soy, and Oat Milk Products

Among various product types, oat milk and almond milk continue to dominate sales, followed closely by soy milk and coconut milk. These options are perceived as more digestible and nutritionally beneficial compared to cow’s milk, especially among individuals with dietary restrictions or allergies.

In addition, the rising preference for fortified plant-based drinks that include added calcium, protein, and vitamins is also a key driver of market growth. Innovations such as functional plant-based milk—infused with adaptogens, probiotics, or omega-3s—are gaining traction among millennials and Gen Z consumers.

Environmental and Health Benefits Driving Market Growth

One of the key motivators behind the rising adoption of dairy-free milk consumption trends is the growing emphasis on sustainability. Environmental benefits of plant-based milk consumption include lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced water usage, and lesser land degradation compared to animal-based dairy farming.

Additionally, consumers are increasingly attracted to plant-based milk for its potential role in heart health, weight management, and cholesterol reduction. These benefits are further amplified when compared to full-fat dairy milk, especially among aging populations and health-focused consumers.
