A USD 4.5 Billion Europe Plant-Based Dairy Products Market to Flourish at a CAGR of Around 10% During 2025-30

The Europe Plant-Based Dairy Products Market size was valued at around USD 4.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 7.8 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 10% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in their recent research report. The main reason behind this growth is the presence of various types of products that have reasonable prices and have a high resemblance with traditional dairy products in terms of taste and texture.

Moreover, the number of people with heart-related problems and lactose intolerance is continuously increasing in Europe. These people are advised not to consume food or drinks containing high levels of fats, cholesterol, and lactose which are mainly milk and other dairy products. Plant-based dairy products are the best alternatives for such populations as they do not contain lactose and fat and are rich in essential nutrients such as; calcium and vitamins. Additionally, the number of cows used in dairies is also decreasing in Europe. As a result, the supply of raw dairy products also decreases; thus increasing the price for various dairy products. This factor further fuels the demand for plant-based dairy products as they can offer similar benefits while being cost-efficient.

Furthermore, the focus of a major portion of the European population is increasing towards maintaining proper health. This increases the demand for dairy products made up of plants as they have healthy nutritional benefits while avoiding the problems caused by common dairy products. Also, such products are added with extra nutrients such as calcium and vitamins like B12 and so on, which makes them even more popular among health-conscious buyers. Therefore, the health benefits provided by plant-based dairy without the drawbacks of traditional dairy have attracted a wide consumer base in past years, which is further fueled by the availability of a high variety of products from national and international brands, and this trend is expected to continue in the future as well, further states the research report, “Europe Plant-Based Dairy Products Market Analysis, 2025.”
