Plant milk is no longer fringe, more than 1 in 10 Pret-a-manager’s hot drinks are served using dairy alternatives especially using organic rice-coconut milk and soya milk in the UK. The reputation of milk as a healthy food is in danger on account of the rising demand for bovine antibiotics, increasing awareness about animal cruelty as well as an increase in the diagnosis of lactose intolerance which has created opportunities for the dairy alternatives’ manufacturers in the recent past.

In Britain, more than 25% of people are opting for plant-based milks and the percentage is much higher in other age groups which are expected to increase further over the forecast period. The UK is one of the significant markets for dairy alternatives. It is projected to grow over the forecast period on account of declining cow milk consumption and increasing demand for dairy-free milk such as Soymilk, rice milk, and almond milk.

The country is one of the largest markets for chilled soymilk and is anticipated to witness a significant growth owing to rising popularity of chilled soymilk as a fresh alternative for dairy milk. Rising popularity of plant-based milk, which are considered to be healthy, coupled with the shift in preference toward non-dairy products is likely to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
