Plant-based dairy
alternatives – an IDM
International Dairy Magazine
special focus edition
The plant-based dairy alternatives sector has
grown in developed countries at an astonishing
rate. The plant-based category has long since
become main-stream and even those who
enjoy original animal products are becoming,
in the face of ever increasing choice, more and
more willing to give plantbased a try. Once they
have tried, a great proportion of consumers
is likely to stay on board – as product quality
has improved greatly over the past years. So,
flexitarians are all over and everywhere.
Now that inflation has hit most markets round
the globe, the quality of plant-based alternatives
becomes even more crucial. Given the fact
that they still cost more than the animal-based
originial, consumers must not be disappointed
by this category. Manufacturers who have invested
in product development, production
capacity, packaging and markets run in danger
to lose sales volume if they start to downgrade
ingredients they use.
This special issue of IDM International Dairy
Magazine explores the ways of improving
plant-based alternatives or quite simple:
how to make good tasting products. Readers
will find a number of solutions and proposals
for how to address the plant-based product
category.
We think that we have compiled interesting
information in this special issue that will help
dairies (and companies in other fields) to tackle
some of the challenges in making the very best
plant-based alternative products.
