U.S. dairy alternative beverages sales hit $1.33 billion in 2011 says new report
Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report.
The report “Dairy Alternative Beverages in the U.S: Soy Milk, Almond Milk, Rice Milk and other Dairy Milk Alternatives” estimates that total U.S.retail sales of dairy alternative beverages reached $1.33 billion in 2011.
Derived from soy, oats, nuts, seeds, legumes, hemp, rice and others, plant milk is a generalised term without legal description or qualifiers. There are a number of varieties of plant milks offered in the retail market, and there are other plant milks not yet produced commercially that have the potential to impact the market in the future. Some of these milks are produced commercially in other countries and could possibly enter theU.S.market in the future.
Consumers choose plant-based dairy alternative beverages for numerous reasons. Health issues including lactose intolerance, milk allergy, and the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) can be addressed through the consumption of dairy alternative beverages because these plant-based milks are free of animal proteins, in particular casein. Others who are primary consumers of dairy alternative beverages include vegans, vegetarians and people concerned about antibiotics or growth hormones often found in cow's milk.
