France Dairy Alternatives Market Summary
The France dairy alternatives market size was estimated at USD 361.5 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 889.0 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2025 to 2033. The French dairy alternatives industry has witnessed a steady increase in demand, driven by rising lactose intolerance and growing health consciousness among consumers.
In addition, climate concerns and France's commitments under the EU Green Deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have encouraged the shift toward plant-based diets. Plant-based milk and yogurts are gaining traction among product categories, with notable local innovations in oat and almond-based yogurts and vegan cheeses. Companies like Jay & Joy, France's first vegan cheese maker, are expanding availability in supermarkets, while retailers like Carrefour and Monoprix have increased plant-based private labels. The French government is investing in local plant protein sources, including peas and fava beans, to reduce reliance on imports for key ingredients. For instance, the France Relance plan, launched in September 2020, strengthens domestic supply chains for plant-based dairy alternatives while creating greater market stability.
France's culinary heritage has traditionally centered around dairy products, but evolving consumer preferences are reshaping this narrative. Younger consumers, particularly those under 35, are actively exploring plant-based options for environmental, ethical, and health reasons, with social media and influencer campaigns playing a significant role in awareness. In addition, France's culinary schools and chefs are increasingly incorporating plant-based dairy alternatives into professional training and restaurant offerings, indicating a cultural shift beyond home consumption. For instance, renowned France culinary schools such as Ferrandi Paris and Le Cordon Bleu have begun offering modules on plant-based cooking, which includes the use of alternative milks and vegan cheeses in classic France dishes.
