The vegan and flexitarian population is increasing rapidly across the globe. Plant-based yogurts are being perceived as more sustainable and better for the environment as compared to dairy-based yogurts. Plant-based yogurt products are either made from the nut-based milk or cereals, legumes, or seeds based milk.

Nutritional value remains a key factor encouraging the purchase of plant-based yogurts; hence, customers tend to be more on the lookout for ingredients they don’t want in their food. This includes excess sugar or chemical-sounding ingredients. Manufacturers of plant-based yogurt are conducting various researches for the innovation in flavours, taste, and texture. They are making yogurt from several new bases, such as hemp or oat to exclusive flavours like mango and blueberry.

These yogurts are gaining traction in the plant-based food industry, leading to the market’s well-positioned growth.

• In 2019, Springfield Creamery, Inc. based in Europe launched oatmilk plant-based yogurt, which is gluten-free and delivers billions of probiotics per serving, the product contains 30-50% less sugar than competitors brands.

Plant-based yogurts are manufactured from sources such as legumes, seeds, nuts and grains, especially from soy, coconut, almond, and oats, which are all plant-based. Since the demand for plant-based ingredients and products is skyrocketing in the food and beverage industry, the non-dairy yogurt market is expected to witness significant growth.
