Lactose intolerance is defined as the reduced ability of the human body to digest lactose. The prevalence of lactose intolerance or malabsorption is high across the region due to a lack of genetic mutation for digesting lactose. People with lactose intolerance are recommended to have a lactose-free diet to avoid allergies and digestive problems such as diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and nausea. Moreover, people allergic to milk are also recommended to consume plant-based dairy products. Therefore, such people are searching for alternatives that are easy to digest and fulfill their daily nutritional needs. Dairy alternatives or dairy-free products are made from almond milk, soymilk, and coconut milk, free from lactose.
Moreover, plant-based dairy products have similar texture, creaminess, and consistency to conventional dairy products. Moreover, plant-based dairy products are fortified with nutrients, such as protein and calcium, that meet the daily nutrient requirements of consumers. Thus, the increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance and milk allergies among consumers is driving the regional dairy alternatives market.
Vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the North America dairy alternatives market at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
