This trend is driven by the growing number of consumers who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies. Additionally, there is a growing preference for yogurt made from alternative sources such as soy, almond, and coconut milk, catering to the preferences of vegan and vegetarian consumers. This shift towards non-dairy yogurt options reflects the evolving lifestyle and dietary choices of the Thai population.
