Almond Milk Global Market Report 2022: Rising Popularity of Plant-Based Dairy Products Fuels Sector

DUBLIN, April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Almond Milk Market Size, Share, Trends, By Application, By Distribution Channels, and By Region Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The almond milk industry has experienced significant growth over recent years, with a global market size of USD 7.12 Billion in 2021, and is expected to see a 12.3% revenue CAGR during the forecast period.

This growth is largely due to factors such as the increasing number of people suffering from lactose intolerance and hypercholesterolemia, as well as the growing popularity of plant-based dairy products, particularly among vegans who seek an alternative to animal dairy products.

One of the main reasons for this growth is the health benefits of almond milk, which is a nutritious and plant-based milk produced by blending almonds with water to create a creamy paste that is then strained to remove the solids. Almond milk is high in omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and vitamin E, and is particularly popular among individuals with lactose intolerance or those following a vegan diet.

Almond milk has a wide range of applications, including in the production of cream liquor, chocolates, baked goods, other beverages, and frozen desserts. It is also used in the cosmetic industry, where it is combined with protein to create skin and hair care products.

Despite the growth opportunities, the rising cost of almonds and lack of awareness about the benefits of almond milk in developing countries are factors that could hinder revenue growth in the global market. Nonetheless, the demand for plant-based dairy alternatives and clean-label products is expected to continue to drive the market forward in the coming years.

The global almond milk market is experiencing revenue growth due to the increasing number of people who are lactose intolerant, as they need to find proper substitutes for dairy products.

This presents a major opportunity for the almond milk market to flourish. Almond milk is also beneficial for people with hypercholesterolemia, as it contains polyunsaturated fatty acids that reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.

The rising popularity of plant-based dairy products has also contributed to the growth of the almond milk market, driven by the increasing number of vegans worldwide.

Plant-based dairy products are also cost-effective and suitable alternatives in places where the supply of milk from animal sources is insufficient. Additionally, almond milk's high protein and low calorie content makes it a healthy substitute for consumers of all ages.

Almond milk has a variety of applications across different industries, including the frozen desserts industry, beverage production, and the personal care and organic cosmetic industry. Its multi-functionality is a significant factor expected to drive revenue growth of the global market over the forecast period.

However, the rising cost of almonds is a major concern for the global market. California, the world's largest producer of almonds, faced a decrease in crop yield due to rising temperatures and drought in 2021, while other factors may lead to a rise in the cost of almonds. This is expected to hamper the global almond milk market's revenue growth. Additionally, the lack of awareness among the general public in developing countries about the benefits of almond milk and the popularity of cow milk and milk from other animal sources is expected to hinder the market's revenue growth during the forecast period.
