Lack of awareness among the consumers about the nutritional benefits of dairy alternative products is expected to hinder the growth of the market. Many dairy consumers feel that dairy substitutes are lower in nutritional content than cow’s milk and other dairy products. According to Cargill Study, about 90% of households in America consume dairy products as a part of their daily diets, whereas, only 4% of the population consumes only non-dairy products. Therefore, the lack of awareness among the populace about the nutritional benefits of dairy alternatives is to hinder the growth of the market over the forthcoming years.
In October 2019, Wyler Farms, Israel-based tofu company, and Innovopro, a food-tech startup company have partnered for the launch of new Innovopro’s CP-Pro 70 chickpea protein in Israel market. The Innovopro’s chickpea protein concentrate is a part of the new dairy-alternative beverage product line of Wyler Farms in the country. Innovopro’s CP-Pro 70 is a plant-based protein and has a unique neutral taste.
Increasing cases of lactose intolerance and milk allergies are projected to contribute to the dairy alternatives market growth. Lactose intolerance or congenital lactase deficiency is a situation wherein small intestine is incapable of making enzyme lactase to break down or digest lactose, moving undigested lactose to large intestine causing symptoms such as diarrhea, gas, and bloating. According to Cleveland Clinic, more than 30 million people in America are lactose intolerant. This scenario is likely to generate higher demand for dairy alternatives, which in turn, is anticipated to boost the revenues for dairy alternatives market over the forecast period.
