This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of dairy production, as well as a shift towards plant-based diets for health reasons. Additionally, the rise of lactose intolerance and dairy allergies among consumers has also contributed to the increasing demand for non-dairy yogurt options. These factors have led to a significant shift in the yogurt market, with more consumers seeking out non-dairy options and driving innovation in the market.
