India Dairy Alternatives Market Synopsis

The India Dairy Alternatives Market holds significant potential, and there are several opportunities for the players in the market. With fast-growing urbanization and increasing awareness of health and sustainability, the market is expected to witness tremendous growth in the years to come. Innovations and R&D in the plant-based protein category will fuel the growth of the market further.

According to 6Wresearch, the India Dairy Alternatives Market size is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2025-2031. The growing shift towards veganism, health consciousness, and eco-friendliness are the primary drivers of the dairy alternatives market in India. A large population of the country is lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy products, which has created a demand for dairy alternatives. Additionally, there has been a rise in the number of health-conscious people, which has led to an increased consumption of plant-based protein and nutrients available in dairy alternatives. These factors are fueling the India Dairy Alternatives Market growth.

The Indian dairy alternatives market is still relatively new, and the lack of awareness and understanding about plant-based options remains a challenge. Additionally, the high cost of dairy alternatives, due to low scale production, is a significant barrier to the increased penetration of dairy alternatives in the Indian market. Moreover, there is insufficient regulatory framework in place for the dairy alternatives market, which needs to be addressed.
