The North America dairy alternatives market is expected to grow from US$ 6,447.99 million in 2022 to US$ 11,230.14 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2022 to 2028.
Lactose intolerance is defined as the reduced ability of the human body to digest lactose. The prevalence of lactose intolerance or malabsorption is high across the region due to a lack of genetic mutation for digesting lactose. People with lactose intolerance are recommended to have a lactose-free diet to avoid allergies and digestive problems such as diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and nausea. Moreover, people allergic to milk are also recommended to consume plant-based dairy products. Therefore, such people are searching for alternatives that are easy to digest and fulfill their daily nutritional needs. Dairy alternatives or dairy-free products are made from almond milk, soymilk, and coconut milk, free from lactose.
Moreover, plant-based dairy products have similar texture, creaminess, and consistency to conventional dairy products. Moreover, plant-based dairy products are fortified with nutrients, such as protein and calcium, that meet the daily nutrient requirements of consumers. Thus, the increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance and milk allergies among consumers is driving the regional dairy alternatives market.
Vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the North America dairy alternatives market at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

At 9.7% CAGR, the North America Dairy Alternatives Market is speculated to be worth US$ 11,230.14 million by 2028, says The Insight Partners
According to The Insight Partners’ research, the North America dairy alternatives market was valued at US$ 6,447.99 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 11,230.14 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 9.7% from 2022 to 2028. Rising trend of veganism and increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.
The vegan population has grown significantly over the past few years. According to Veganuary (a non-profit organization that encourages individuals to go vegan for the entire month of January), in 2022, more than 620,000 people registered for the Veganuary campaign, and the registrations increased by 200% in the last 3 years. People are increasingly switching to a vegan diet due to increased health and sustainability concerns. The livestock industry is one of the significant contributors to the total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The dairy sector is responsible for 30% of the total livestock emissions. Many studies have shown that shifting to a vegan diet can significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, many organizations believe that veganism can help save the planet from the climate crisis. The awareness regarding the harmful effects of the livestock industry on the environment is increasing among consumers. The consumption of plant-based dairy products helps minimize carbon footprints, save water and other natural resources, and reduce the overall environmental impacts. Therefore, the consumers are rapidly switching to plant-based dairy and meat products. This factor is significantly driving the dairy alternatives market. Further, consumers are highly inclined toward plant-based or vegan-friendly products due to increased health concerns and increased awareness of animal welfare. The rising health consciousness among people due to the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other diseases is compelling people to change their dietary habits. People generally perceive plant-based products to be healthier than conventional ones. Thus, health-conscious consumers rapidly substitute conventional, animal-based products with plant-based food. This factor is significantly boosting the dairy alternatives market.
