Market Dynamics
Introduction
Oat milk is a plant-based milk alternative made from oats and water. It is created by blending soaked oats with water and then straining the mixture to remove any solid particles, resulting in a smooth and creamy liquid. Oat milk has gained popularity as a dairy milk substitute due to its mild, slightly sweet flavor and creamy texture.
Oat milk is often fortified with additional nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, to enhance its nutritional profile and make it comparable to cow's milk. It is typically lactose-free, making it suitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies. Oat milk is also a popular choice among vegans and those who follow a plant-based diet.
Market Drivers
The oat milk market’s growth is attributed to several factors. Below given are a few –
Rising vegan population – Oat milk is one of the popular plant-based substitutes for vegans. Veganism is becoming a common practice now. According to the World Animal Foundation, there are ~88 million vegans across the globe in 2023, and the count is expected to grow continuously. With the rising veganism, the demand for vegan products, including oat milk is set to rise.
Health and nutritional benefits of oat milk – Oat milk is a highly soluble fiber that helps people control blood glucose levels, decrease cholesterol, and also reduce any risk related to heart disease. Lactose-intolerant individuals also can consume oat milk since it is lactose-free.
Rising animal protection acts – With the awareness created by animal rights organizations, there has been a change in customer buying behavior. Animal lovers across the globe are fighting for animal rights which is leading to an increasing number of people motivated to make ethical choices to go vegan.
Advancements in oat milk extraction – Manufacturers are seeking new ways of extracting milk in an attempt to gain unique selling points. Buying raw materials directly from the farmers not only allows manufacturers to choose high-quality materials but also allows the end product to be more cost-effective.
