Analyst Opinion

The Milk Substitutes Market in Canada is experiencing minimal growth due to factors like increasing health consciousness and convenience of online services. This growth is impacted by factors such as availability of traditional dairy products and consumer preferences.

Customer preferences: As more consumers become health-conscious, there has been a rise in demand for dairy-free and plant-based milk substitutes in Canada. This can be attributed to a growing awareness of lactose intolerance and the health benefits associated with plant-based alternatives. Additionally, the increasing popularity of vegan and vegetarian diets has also contributed to the growth of the milk substitutes market. These trends are driven by a desire for healthier and more sustainable dietary choices, as well as cultural influences promoting plant-based lifestyles.
