The soy milk market is projected to register a CAGR of 6.92% during the forecast period (2022- 2027).

COVID-19 is an incomparable global public health emergency that has affected almost every industry, so and the unprecedented stress on supply chains owing to forced lockdowns across the globe has resulted in decreasing sales of soy milk, although demand continues to be high. Increasing awareness about the health benefits associated with the consumption of soy milk is expected to drive the demand over the forecast period. The increasing popularity of non-dairy foods and beverages is also anticipated to boost product demand.

Soy milk acts as a great substitute for cow milk as it contains an equal amount of protein and is low in calories. Demand for low-calorie products is high due to the growing obesity rate. Hence, soy milk is preferred by a lot of consumers who are weight conscious or trying to lose weight. This product also lowers the bad cholesterol level and is highly preferred by heart patients. The product is also popular among lactose intolerant and anemic populations as it is naturally lactose-free and rich in iron. Its high isoflavone content is known to prevent hormone-related cancers. Numerous other benefits of the product are expected to increase the overall consumption of soy milk and drive the market. However, this product can face stiff competition from its substitutes in the market, such as almond and coconut milk.

The introduction of various flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, among others, by the manufacturers to mask the aftertaste of soy milk is propelling the product demand among kids as well. Key manufacturers are investing in research and development to curb the after-taste by introducing more flavors and selling the product in attractive packages via many distribution channels. Celebrity endorsements are also positively impacting the consumer preference for the product.

Soy Milk Market Trends

Increasing Prevalence of Lactose Intolerance

According to MedlinePlus Genetics, approximately 65% of the human population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. Lactose intolerance in adulthood is most prevalent in people of East Asian descent, with 70% of people affected in these communities. Allergies and intolerances are major reasons behind the ongoing demand for dairy-free beverages, especially considering the food allergy initiative's statistic that cow's milk allergy is the leading food allergy in infants and children. Additionally, the rising number of product launches across the globe in the lactose-free dairy products category and its acceptance among the consumers represents a substantial opportunity for dairy alternatives manufacturers. The market is gaining popularity across Asian countries such as India, Thailand, Indonesia, and others, where people are spending on premium products that have essential macronutrients and amino acids, good quality fatty acid profile, and vital minerals, along with vitamins, complex carbohydrates, and many phytochemicals. This, in turn, has provided lucrative opportunities to the manufacturers to expand their footprints in such potential and promising markets. For instance, in 2020, Thai company Tofusan launched its first premium organic UHT soymilk in original flavor and low-sugar varieties.

Asia-Pacific Emerges as the Fastest-growing Market

The Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing market as many countries like China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong are the major consumers of the product. The abundant production of soybean in these countries is also driving the consumption in this region. Also, in response to the increasing demand for vegan products in Asian countries, several strategic investments have been undertaken to push the revenue generation in the region. For example, in 2021, EFKO Group announced its plan to invest RUB 600 million in the venture to begin producing soy milk, with the aim of producing a thousand tons of milk per month. In Asia-Pacific, consumers are increasingly looking for lactose-free dairy alternatives derived from plant sources, and the choice of products multiplying on the shelves satisfies health and wellness-orientated consumers' taste for novelty and variety. Also, plant-based beverages make up a promising category because of the traditional acceptance of soy.
