Market Trends of europe non-dairy yogurt Industry
The innovations taking place in the industry, along with growing popularity of non-dairy products, are driving the consumption of non-dairy yogurt
- The per capita consumption of non-dairy yogurt in Europe is increasing. Manufacturers of plant-based yogurt are responding to the growing demand via new product innovations and launching a variety of flavors and indulgences, thus boosting consumption. Western Europe is the most dynamic region globally in terms of non-dairy yogurt launches. In 2021, with more than 360 plant-based yogurts launched, the region represented 66% of all launches globally. Germany, France, and Italy have the highest per capita consumption of non-dairy yogurt. The growing popularity of dairy alternatives, primarily in Germany, has led to the rapid growth of plant-based yogurt. More than 12 million tourists visited Germany in 2021, boosting the demand for vegan yogurt due to the growing veganism domestically and internationally.
- The UK government has set regulations restricting the products on grocery or retail shelves or any e-commerce store, along with products or drinks that are high in salt, sugar, and fat or less healthy. This factor has influenced the population to opt for non-dairy yogurt as a healthy alternative to conventional yogurt. Non-dairy probiotic products have gained importance in line with the ongoing shift toward vegan food and the steep prevalence of lactose intolerance among the European population. These factors are anticipated to increase the penetration of non-dairy yogurt, leading critical players across the region to constantly invest in R&D activities for product innovation, with claims like low/no sugar, to capture the evolving consumer trend.
