The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to several factors including the rise in lactose intolerance and dairy allergies, increased adoption of vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, growing environmental and ethical concerns, expanded retail presence and availability of plant-based products, government initiatives and regulations promoting alternatives, and the recognition of functional and nutritional benefits offered by plant-based options.
The plant-based beverages market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $42.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected to stem from an increased emphasis on sustainable and ethical practices, the continued expansion of plant-based milk alternatives, the influence of global culinary fusion trends, the burgeoning e-commerce sector, and the integration of plant-based beverages into foodservice offerings. Key trends in this period encompass the diversification of plant sources for beverages, the development of functional and fortified formulations, a focus on reduced sugar and clean label products, innovations in packaging solutions, the rise of the ready-to-drink (RTD) market, and the incorporation of cultural and regional flavor variations.
The burgeoning trend of veganism is anticipated to drive the expansion of the plant-based beverages market. Veganism involves abstaining from animal-derived products, fostering a preference for plant-based drinks that offer potential health benefits, such as improved cardiac health and protection against various diseases. In January 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service reported Germany as having the highest vegetarianism rate, with over 1.5 million self-identified vegans and nearly 8 million consumers of vegetarian food, a significant increase from a decade ago when the vegan population was 0.1 million. This escalating vegan trend is a pivotal factor propelling the growth of the plant-based beverages market.
The escalating health consciousness among consumers is poised to fuel the expansion of the plant-based beverages market. This heightened awareness pertains to consumers actively prioritizing healthier lifestyle choices, encompassing dietary preferences, physical activity, and overall well-being. Consumers inclined towards health-conscious choices exhibit a preference for plant-based beverages due to perceived advantages such as enhanced digestion, reduced cholesterol levels, and allergen-free options, aligning with their quest for nutritious and functional dietary selections. For instance, in August 2022, a DSM survey revealed that 73% of participants expressed a commitment to prioritizing healthier eating and drinking habits. Consequently, the surge in health consciousness among consumers is a driving force behind the plant-based beverages market.
Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend gaining traction within the plant-based beverage market.

The plant-based beverage market is witnessing a strategic focus on product advancements, particularly in the realm of vegan drinks, to meet evolving consumer preferences for healthier, sustainable, and plant-centric options. Vegan drinks, comprising solely plant-derived ingredients without any animal-based components, have gained significant attention. For instance, in February 2023, Life Health Foods (India) Pvt. Ltd. introduced the So Good Oat Unsweetened beverage, a dairy-free plant-based milk. This offering is aligned with the brand's commitment to delivering a healthy and versatile addition suitable for enhancing the taste and creaminess of various consumables, including coffee, tea, baking, and smoothies. Combining exceptional flavor, adaptability, and health benefits, all within an accessible price range.
In February 2021, Danone S.A., a prominent France-based food-products corporation, completed the acquisition of Follow Your Heart for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition aims to bolster Danone's presence in the plant-based sector by expanding its array of plant-based offerings.
