US Plant Based Dairy Market Outlook
The US plant-based dairy market is poised for an active 2025-2030 period of both opportunities and challenges as the category reaches maturity. Plant-based milk will remain the most significant and stable sector, underpinned by a well-developed base of consumers interested in affordability and the benefits of sustainability and health. The resilience of this category speaks to its evolution from a niche trend to mainstream dairy alternative.
Despite this, plant yoghurt and cheese are set to continue experiencing challenges. Unit price inflation has curbed retail volumes, particularly in plant cheese where small-scale innovation and poor product differentiation constrain consumer attraction. Without significant price drops or product innovation breakthroughs, these categories will find it difficult to regain lost volumes, especially under economic constraints and attacks from new players such as precision-fermented products.
The total plant-based dairy market is seeing little innovation in 2023-2024, with widespread product recalls that impede consumer trust and category growth. To turn this around, there is a need for a longer-term, patient approach to innovation to develop sustained consumer interest.
Market players are more likely to turn to redefined product claims beyond vegan and plant-based, emphasizing health, wellness, sustainability, and gut health benefits. These values appeal to price-conscious consumers looking for more value, providing the potential to expand the market to consumers beyond traditional animal-free consumers. With the market becoming mature, consolidation based on acquisition and joint venture between industry leaders like General Mills, Danone, and Kraft Heinz will further heighten competition. In addition, new technologies such as precision fermentation can disrupt the market by delivering products with enhanced protein functionality. In order to stay competitive, plant-based milk brands will have to innovate on product quality, texture, and natural claims in sync with changing consumer tastes to capitalize on growth prospects in 2025-30.
US Plant Based Dairy Market Challenge
Since 2022, unit prices of plant-based dairy items have increased sharply, reflecting trends in packaged foods. Value sales are forecast to increase in 2024, though volumes are set to decrease as consumers, including flexitarians, switch to cheaper options. This trend is a major obstacle for volume recovery in the plant-based dairy category because increased prices discourage consumers under economic stress.
Emerging categories like plant cheese and yoghurt also have extra challenges from disruptive products like precision-fermented cheese. Consumers are unwilling to pay premium prices in the face of competitive pricing and budget constraints, so a hefty reduction in price would be needed to restore volumes. But under present market conditions, such price deflation seems unlikely, so there is continued challenge in drawing and retaining consumers for this category.
US Plant Based Dairy Market Opportunity
The plant dairy industry can expand substantially by moving away from the conventional vegan and plant-based positioning. In today's economic environment, consumers are looking for products that warrant premium prices via increased benefits including health, wellness, sustainability, and animal welfare. Plant dairy products are best placed to deliver these needs with benefits such as increased protein levels and gut-friendly fortification, which extend their reach beyond purely animal-free consumers.
By highlighting full nutritional advantages and sustainability, plant-based dairy can appeal to a broader segment of consumers concerned with both health and environmental issues. This changing positioning allows the category to reach an increased value/wellness-oriented market segment, offering a potentially significant growth path for plant-based dairy products through 2025-30.
