Plant-based dairy alternatives from SK Chemtrade

The demand for plant based dairy is increasing in response to the?rising focus on health and wellness among consumers as well as the rising demand for milk derived from plant-based sources. Popularity of veganism has also had a positive impact on growth.

Plant-based alternatives have revolutionised the food industry, and consumer demand has skyrocketed in the last few years. In fact, 42% of global consumers say they are restricting their consumption of animal-based products, so manufacturers have risen to the challenge by developing new products and extending ranges across the board. The plant-based dairy industry in particular is one of the largest and most dynamic spaces, with global retail value sales of over USD20 billion in 2021, of which almost USD18 billion comes from plant-based milk.
