South America Dairy Alternatives Market Analysis
South America's Dairy Alternative products market is forecast to register a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The emergence of the COVID-19 scenario made major changes in the market, positively impacting its' growth. The increased health consciousness stemming from covid precautions has led to the increased preference for plant-based milk.
The gaining popularity of the vegan diet and incidences of lactose intolerance drive the market. Increased health consciousness among consumers has led to the demand for functional beverages. The development of palatable and nutritionally adequate functional beverages with plant-based derivatives drives the market. Also, the increasing milk allergies resulting in adverse immune reactions after ingesting animal milk among the global population, particularly children and infants, has become another major factor driving the market.
However, the comparatively high prices of dairy alternatives pose a challenge to the market. The presence of nutritionally equivalent alternatives for a lower price affects consumer behavior and refrains the purchase of dairy alternatives.
