Surging demand for functional dairy alternatives and product innovation are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.                          

Nowadays, consumers are increasingly seeking functional benefits from the products they consume. They are looking for products with high nutrient content to fulfill their daily nutritional requirements. Consumers are rapidly switching to plant-based food. However, some consumers are concerned about the lack of protein content in plant-based foods. The manufacturers of dairy alternatives are developing that product to meet the requirements of potential consumers.  Further, the dairy alternatives manufacturers also include functional ingredients, such as antioxidants, collagens, adaptogens, and nootropics, in their products to meet the rising demand for functional dairy alternatives. A manufacturer of plant-based lattes launched a new line of functional oat milk lattes with added ingredients such as collagen, adaptogen, and antioxidants. The oats milk latte is cold brew and is certified organic. The addition of functional ingredients enhances the popularity of the products and boosts their adoption among consumers. Thus, the surging demand for functional dairy alternatives is expected to drive the growth of the dairy alternatives market over the forecast period across the region.
