North America Non-Dairy Yogurt Market Overview

North America is one of the most significant regions for the non-dairy yogurt market due to the increasing number of individuals opting for healthier alternatives to dairy products. Increased disposable income, changing lifestyles, and eating patterns have increased demand for dairy substitutes such as non-dairy yogurt, cheese, butter, and milk in North American countries such as the US and Canada. Due to the increasing number of health-conscious consumers, rising environmental concerns, and the growing trend of plant-based diets, plant-based yogurt is becoming more popular in the region. The high nutritional value of plant-based yogurt has fueled its demand in North America in the last few years, especially among young adults. Moreover, the key players operating in the market are constantly taking strategic initiatives such as product innovation, which has pioneered the production of these products. For instance, in March 2022, the US-based company AYO Foods LLC launched a new plant-based yogurt range by developing a plain almond milk yogurt in various flavors.

According to the data from Cleveland Clinic, in 2019, 36% of Americans were lactose intolerant. This showcases that North Americans prefer to consume plant-based products, accelerating the demand for non-dairy products such as yogurt. Various government agencies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), are promoting the intake of dairy-free products in daily diets, enhancing the non-dairy yogurt market trends due to increasing symptoms and diseases related to lactose intolerance and nutrition deficiency. Moreover, the rising flexitarian population is a major factor boosting the demand for plant-based dairy products and is expected to propel the market growth in the region.
