Additionally, the rise in lactose intolerance and dairy allergies has also contributed to the popularity of non-dairy milk options such as almond, soy, and oat milk. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, with consumers increasingly prioritizing health and ethical considerations in their purchasing decisions.
