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 plant-based foods' lack of protein content. Manufacturers of dairy alternatives are developing products to meet the requirements of potential consumers.
Further, manufacturers of dairy alternatives include functional ingredients, such as antioxidants, collagens, adaptogens, and nootropics, 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.
Adding 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.
Vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the APAC dairy alternatives market at a promising CAGR during the forecast period.
