Growing Indulgence For Different Flavors in Yogurts
The American consumer base has become more diverse with increasing Hispanic and Asian populations, which, in turn, has brought the desire for global flavors (such as coconut cream, finely milled chia seeds, elderflower, nut butters (almond, hazelnut, and cashew), and others) into the mainstream. The sales of yogurt in the country attained a strong growth in the past couple of years, which is strongly led by the rapid rise in flavored Greek yogurt. However, the market for yogurt manufacturers remains challenging, as mounting competition from the number of local and global players and consumer preferences continue to evolve for more flavor variants in yogurt. As an increasing number of Americans are ascribing to vegan diets and are constantly seeking dairy alternatives with innovative flavors, the number of flavored dairy-free yogurts, as well as drinkable yogurts, such as almond, coconut, soy, cashews, pea yogurt, and others have taken a significant share in supermarket shelves.
