Market is driven by the brand loyalty coupled with popular oat milk retailers adopting omnichannel strategies
- The US oat milk market witnessed a positive growth of 8.54% by value in 2022 compared to 2021, attributed to the easy availability of a wide range of plant-based milk, including oat milk, across retail and foodservice channels. Supermarkets accounted for most of the share in the off-trade segment, i.e., 92.06% in 2022, attributed to the strong penetration of popular chains such as Lidl, Aldi, Walmart, Kroger, and Target, which provide a wide selection of oat milk varieties that are both imported and made locally.
- Online retail is anticipated to be the fastest-growing channel, growing by 133.9% in 2029 compared to 2023. The omnichannel approach adopted by major retailers is also driving the market for oat milk. Retailers such as Costco, Trader Joe's, and Walmart focus on omnichannel shopping, particularly expanding and integrating online capabilities into brick-and-mortar stores. Convenience is one of the primary motivations for shoppers. Thus, they are transitioning to online shopping for daily essentials, including groceries.
- Due to its similar texture to cow's milk and neutral flavor, oat milk is well-liked by consumers who want to switch to plant-based milk. In the United States, Planet Oat was the leading brand of oat-based milk in 2022, followed by Oatly and Chobani. As of September 2022, Planet Oat generated sales of over USD 44.9 million via on-trade and off-trade channels. Many off-trade channels have also launched oat milk under their private labels in the country. Private-labeled oat milk brands in the United States generated sales of over USD 3.62 million by mid-2022.
