Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Almond Milk Market


The global almond milk market size was valued at USD 5.2 billion in 2018, and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2019 to 2025. Almond milk is a plant based dairy alternative known to be rich in vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids. Increasing number of health conscious consumers, coupled with rising inclination towards plant based products, is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.

Rising cases of lactose intolerance and hypercholesterolemia are projected to fuel the market demand over the anticipated years. The product is devoid of cholesterol and lactose, thus making it a popular choice, especially among vegan consumers. Preference for vegan diet has influenced consumers to choose substitutes for cow milk. Plant-based milk alternatives are an emerging trend that can serve as an economical alternative for the developing countries and in places where animal milk supply is inadequate.

Almond milk has varied applications such as beverages, frozen desserts, and personal care products and is used as a major ingredient for manufacturing chocolates, cream liquor, and bakery products. Together with protein, the product is a rich source of zinc that helps to prevent hair graying and thus keeps the skin free from blemishes. Several cosmetic manufacturers use the formulation to produce face creams and hair care products, thereby propelling the demand for almond milk in the industry.

Growing acceptance of dairy alternatives amongst vegan consumers is a major factor benefiting the market expansion. Aesthetic benefits associated with almond milk, along with its other properties such as low calorie quotient and high protein volume, make it befitting as a dietary supplement for consumers of all age. For instance, Raw introduced its 100% cold-pressed almond milk as a substitute for the other dairy shakes to promote the brand in the plant-milk segment for its vegan consumers.

Rising incidence of lactose intolerance and diabetes in countries, such as China, Japan, Germany, and U.S., where change in lifestyle and high exposure to pollutants are highly affecting the major population, is a potential factor propelling the product demand. The beverages and organic cosmetics markets are likely to witness strong growth over the next few years due to rising consumer expectations about the benefits of almond milk. Companies such as Daiya Foods Inc.; Whitewave Foods; Blue Diamond Growers; and Galaxy Nutritional Foods, Inc. are taking initiatives to thrive in the market by introducing a variety of cold-pressed beverages and frozen desserts on a global scale.
