Germany plays a major role in the consumption of plant-based milk in the region
- The plant-based milk in the Europe region witnessed a growth of 14.1% in 2022 compared to the previous year, 2021. The growth is attributed to many consumers drawn toward the health and sustainability benefits of plant-based products. Plant-based beverages also claim other advantages, as they have a longer shelf life than dairy-based milk. Cow’s milk usually lasts four to seven days, but plant-based milk lasts up to 10 days at room temperature.
- By country, Germany is the leading market for plant-based milk in the region, and it is anticipated to grow by 77.6% in 2024 compared to the year 2021.

Milk is the most preferred plant-based product in the country, with a consumption rate of 93%.

The consumption of plant-based milk products increased due to the health benefits they offer
- The consumption of plant milk in Europe is on the rise.

Nearly 54% of European consumers prefer plant-based milk, and 43% purchase dairy and dairy alternatives.
- The domestic demand for plant-based milk is expected to be constant during the forecast period. This is due to the growing consumption of plant milk as a staple product.

Market Definition
- Dairy Alternatives - Dairy alternatives are foods that are made from plant-based milk/oils instead of their usual animal products, such as cheese, butter, milk, ice cream, yogurt, etc. Plant-based or non-dairy milk alternative is the fast-growing segment in the newer food product development category of functional and specialty beverage across the globe.
- Non-Dairy Butter - Non dairy butter is a vegan butter alternative that is made from a mixture of plant oils. With an increase in alternative diets like vegetarianism, veganism, and gluten intolerance, plant butter is a healthy non-dairy substitute for normal butter.
- Non-Dairy Ice Cream - Plant based ice cream is a growing category. Non-dairy ice cream is a type of dessert made without any animal ingredients. This is typically considered a substitute for regular ice cream for those who cannot or do not eat animal or animal-derived products, including eggs, milk, cream, or honey.
- Plant-Based Milk - Plant based milks are milk substitutes that are made from nuts (e.g., hazelnuts, hemp seeds), seeds (e.g., sesame, walnuts, coconuts, cashews, almonds, rice, oats, etc.) or legumes (e.g., soy). Plant-based milk such as soy milk and almond milk have been popular in East Asia and the Middle East for centuries.
