The global plant-based (vegan) yogurt market is likely to grow at nearly 5% CAGR during the assessment period 2018 to 2028, according to Fact.MR’s analysis. Growing fad of veganism along with increasing preference for healthy food products is anticipated to boost the demand for plant-based yogurt.
According to a study, the number of people who follow a plant-based diet has risen 340% in the U.K. Further, 1.62 million people in the U.S. consider themselves as vegan, as per the Veganbits. As more consumers turn to veganism, demand for plant-based yogurt is likely to witness an upsurge over the upcoming decade.
Growing concerns over dairy-based yogurt due to animal cruelty is another factor anticipated to drive sales of plant-based yogurt in the market. Further, rising incidence of lactose intolerance coupled with surging health consciousness is driving the adoption of vegan food products, fueling sales.

According to the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH), nearly 30 million Americans have some degree of lactose intolerance by the time they reach 20 years of age. The level of lactose intolerance in Belgium, Cyprus, Norway, and Netherlands is above 10% according to another report.
Moreover, increasing use of antibiotics and other stimulants to boost milk production artificially will create conducive environment for plant-based yogurt companies. The use of antibiotics is poorly regulated in several countries, creating challenges for food safety.
The surge of antibiotic resistance continues to be a cause of concern for the healthcare community. Plant-based yogurt is devoid of antibiotics and other chemicals which has led to positive perception among consumers. This factor is also likely to provide a boost to plant-based yogurt sales during the assessment period.
