In Canada, the commercial milk sales have been declining since 2004 on account of the mounting health concerns regarding dairy milk. The switch in plant-based alternatives is increasingly gaining popularity as more than 10% of the population consider themselves to be either vegan or vegetarian. Oat milk is the fastest growing milk category in Canada as the demand is rising by 500% since January 2019.

Although the demand for oat milk has grown exponentially, almond and soy milk remained the preferred choice of plant-based alternatives in Canada in the recent past.
