This shift is also fueled by rising health consciousness and dietary restrictions, such as lactose intolerance and allergies. As a result, the market for plant-based milk products is witnessing significant growth, with the rise of innovative options such as almond, soy, and oat milk. This trend is further amplified by the increasing availability and variety of dairy-free alternatives in supermarkets and cafes.
