The plant-based beverages market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.0%, in terms of value, during the forecast period.

The growth of the plant-based beverages market is attributed to the growing popularity of vegan diets, especially among millennials; r and the increasing demand for low-calorie options, amidst adaption of hectic lifestyles in developing countries. Additionally, companies are showing interest in the niche plant-based beverage segments by acquiring local players or investing in innovative products to tap consumer interests, which has also propelled the growth of this market. However, due to premium pricing of plant-based products in several countries, the cost of these products remains higher than dairy products.  Therefore, Manufacturers are working on bringing down the prices of these products remains a challenge for the manufacturers in this market. Apart from this, in many emerging countries, there is a lack of awareness among consumers about the benefits of plant-based beverages over dairy beverages, owing to lack of proper promotional strategies. As a result, high reliance on dairy milk products is still prevalent in these regions.

Almond milk: The largest segment in the plant-based beverages market, by source.

The almond milk segment is estimated to be the largest market for plant-based beverages, by source. Almond milk has been gaining popularity across several coffee shops in the US. California, US, is the hub for almond production. Blue Diamond Growers (US) is a leading almond processing company, which offers almond-based products under its brand Almond Breeze. The brand represents almond milk made from California almonds.

The milk segment, by type, is projected to be the larger segment of the plant-based beverages market by 2023

The milk segment is estimated to be the larger segment in the plant-based beverages market in 2018. The demand for plant-based milk is higher compared to other drinks, as product offerings for plant-based milk are much higher compared to other drinks such as shakes, smoothies, and nogs. Companies are offering a wide variety of plant-based milk made from almond, soy, coconut, and rice. Apart from this, other milk sources such as cashew, oats, pea, and hemp are also gaining popularity in the market. Thus, with an extensive range of plant-based milk options available in the market, the demand for plant-based beverages is expected to increase in coming years.

Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for plant-based beverages during the forecast period.
