In addition, the launch activity in diary alternative desserts is increasingly shifting from soy-based beverages to other dairy alternatives such as coconut, almond, and rice as soy’s image has suffered enormously on account of its negative associations related to both environment and health.
Germany is one of the key markets for dairy alternatives and is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to rising demand for plant-based products from consumers. Growing health concerns have led to changing consumer preferences toward lactose-free, low-fat, and plain soy-based products in the region.
