Abstract:
Plant-based milks now account for more than 14% of the fluid milk market, while plant-based cheese, creamers, yogurts and ice cream continue to gain traction.
So where is the market going next, where’s the white space in the category, and what is the potential of a new wave of ‘vegan dairy’ products made with real milk proteins and fats, minus the cows? What are the primary purchase drivers for plant-based or ‘non-animal’ dairy, and how do shoppers feel about the next generation of products? We sit down with category disruptors to explore the brave new world of dairy.
