The Global Dairy & Soy Food Market was valued at USD 146 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% to reach USD 234.4 billion by 2034. This market spans a broad range of products, including dairy items like milk, yogurt, and cheese, as well as plant-based beverages and soy alternatives. A key driver behind this growth is the increasing focus on health and wellness among consumers. There is a growing demand for nutritious products with minimal additives and more functional benefits. As lactose intolerance becomes more common, many consumers are turning to plant-based options that offer the same taste, texture, and nutritional value as traditional dairy products.
The rise of plant-based and vegan diets has sparked significant innovation in this space, with companies diversifying their portfolios to include new types of yogurt, plant-based beverages, and fortified goods aimed at vegans, flexitarians, and environmentally conscious shoppers. The aging population in developed countries is also fueling demand for fortified dairy and soy foods, particularly those enriched with proteins, vitamins, and probiotics to support bone health, digestion, and overall vitality. Meanwhile, the rapid growth of e-commerce is improving product accessibility, allowing brands to reach more consumers and offer a wider variety of products.
In 2024, dairy-based health foods segment held the largest share at 76% and is expected to maintain a growth rate of 5.3% through 2034. These products, which appeal to health-conscious consumers focused on gut health, immunity, and bone strength, are being developed with innovations aimed at reducing fat and sugar content while increasing accessibility for individuals with dietary restrictions.
The digestive health products segment captured a significant 34.8% share of the market in 2024, with an anticipated growth rate of 5.5% through to 2034. This impressive expansion is largely driven by an increasing consumer focus on gut health and immune system enhancement, as more individuals seek products that offer both nutritional and functional benefits. As digestive health issues become more prevalent globally, from bloating and indigestion to more complex conditions like IBS, consumers are turning to foods and supplements that promote better digestion and overall gut flora balance.
United States Dairy and Soy Food Market generated USD 25.34 billion in 2024. The country’s market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% by 2034, driven by consumer trust in brands that prioritize safety, transparency in nutritional labeling, and convenient product formats.
