The milk substitute market is experiencing growth due to an increasing consumer preference for vegan food. Awareness of animal abuse in dairy farms has led consumers to avoid animal-based products, driving the demand for vegan milk. Vegan milk, being cholesterol-free, rich in vitamin D and proteins, and providing more calcium than animal milk, has gained popularity. Sales of non-dairy milk in the USA have seen a substantial 61% growth over the last five years, according to a report by Mintel. The rising shift towards veganism and a growing emphasis on health consciousness are significant drivers for the milk substitute market.
The growth of the milk substitutes (non-dairy milk) market is further propelled by the increasing incidence of lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance, a digestive condition causing difficulty in digesting lactose found in milk and dairy products, has driven the demand for milk substitutes among affected individuals. Approximately 30 million adult Americans are expected to be lactose intolerant to varying degrees in 2022, according to MedlinePlus, a US-based provider of consumer health information. The need for alternatives that meet individual preferences and nutritional needs supports the growth of milk substitutes.
The presence of highly toxic arsenic compounds in rice milk acts as a restraint on the milk substitute market. Rice milk, made from rice with elevated levels of arsenic, poses health risks, including the potential to cause cancer. Studies indicate that the mean value of arsenic in rice milk is 63%, highlighting the dangers associated with this milk substitute and creating concerns among consumers.
Non-dairy milk manufacturers are increasingly focusing on extending the longevity of their products, employing methods such as bacterial clarification to reduce bacterial growth. One effective technique is ultra-pasteurization, subjecting the milk to temperatures exceeding 280&deF for at least 2 seconds, eliminating harmful bacteria and extending the shelf life to around 120 days. Companies such as SunOpta use ultra-pasteurization for soymilk, resulting in an extended shelf life of 12 months, while Pacific Foods applies the same technique for almond milk, offering a shelf life of about one year.
These non-dairy milk producers are subject to various regulations governing product quality, labeling, and other aspects. For example, in the EU, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 mandates providing nutritional information about food products to consumers. The regulation outlines protocols for nutritional labeling, presentation, advertising, and requires printed information to meet minimum font size standards. Additionally, allergens such as soy, nuts, gluten, and lactose must be clearly indicated for prepacked foods. Non-dairy products, such as milk substitutes, are required to clearly mention substitute ingredients.
