Health has become a top priority for people across the region, leading to a boom in demand for functional products. Consumers are willing to pay more for products that offer nutritional health benefits. There has been a massive demand for functional beverages such as fortified juices and functional water over the past few years. Moreover, the vegan trend is rapidly evolving across the market, which has compelled various manufacturers of functional beverages to develop plant-based alternatives. The majority of consumers across the region prefer beverages that offer nutritional benefits. People are increasingly focusing on cutting dairy products while maintaining the nutritional balance in their diets due to the growing influence of veganism and the increasing lactose-intolerant population. This factor has created strong growth for plant-based milk as they offer an array of functional benefits. Plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, and soy milk are low-calorie milk that offer similar nutritional value as animal milk. Furthermore, according to the International Food Information Council's 2021 Food and Health Survey, over 4 out of 10 buyers believe plant-based alternatives are healthier even when two products have similar ingredients and provide similar nutritional benefits. Therefore, functional beverage manufacturers are developing plant-based beverages to cater to the emerging consumer trend in the region.
