Sales of plant-based dairy are expected to rise over the forecast period overall. Future growth will be driven primarily by other plant-based milk, though partially offset by stagnation in soy drinks, which remains highly mature and saturated in China.
The future direction of plant-based drinks is mainly focused on health. New products on the market emphasise a high plant protein content, approaching the protein content of animal milk, and these offerings are pushed as alternatives to milk.
At the end of 2024, the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology began soliciting opinions on the draft of the General Standards for Plant-Based Foods. In early 2025, the China Green Food Association will publicly seek opinions on the evaluation methods for the edible and nutritional quality of plant milk.
