Soy milk, over the years, has come a long way to become one of the prominent non-dairy alternatives. Busting myths and negative perceptions, soy milk’s acceptance in the general population has taken the market to a staggering US$ 6,877.4 million in 2024.

Effective marketing strategies by key players in the market are set to bring this market close to US$ 12,860.8 million by 2034, progressing at a CAGR of 8.70%.

With lactose intolerance in the general populace hitting an all-time high, plant-based alternatives to milk and milk products are garnering tremendous admiration, pushing the overall market valuation to a staggering US$ 6,877.4 million. To respond to this demand, brands in the market are also formulating novel flavors and variants on a regular basis.

Vegan dietary preferences among the younger population, especially in countries where eCommerce and brick-and-mortar stores are well-established are also aiding to market’s potential to progress at an outstanding CAGR of 8.70% through 2034. This market trend is generally observed in countries like India, China, Brazil, South Korea, etc.

Referring to the current market scenario, the market valuation is very likely to surpass US$ 12,860.8 million by 2034. This surge is mainly attributed to the growing incidences of chronic diseases in the developing parts of the world and the medicinal properties of soy milk in mitigating rising cholesterol levels. The demand for soy milk is also increasing as it helps individuals keep a check on their weight.

“There are still a lot of concerns regarding the nutritional content of soy milk-based products. Negative notions about soy milk causing hormonal imbalance in the male population have also affected the adoption. Brands in the market must create effective strategies to ward off these myths and misconceptions in the general population,” says an FMI analyst.
