The global vegan yogurt market size was valued at USD 3.82 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19.7% from 2025 to 2030. Shifting traction towards dairy-free products among millennials on a global level is expected to promote the scope of plant-based nutritional products such as vegan yogurts.
The yogurt is rich with probiotics and helpful gut bacteria, making it extremely useful for gut health and digestion. Consumers have also been increasing their spending on plant-based products as a result of the increased prevalence of disorders, including milk allergies, among the general public in developed economies of North America and Europe. Dairy consumption has been on the decline for decades, with each generation drinking less milk than its predecessor. Vegan diet has been gaining popularity among the common masses, and they are rapidly looking to replace the use of dairy products, including vegan yogurt. Vegan yogurts containing live probiotics and cultures offer the same digestive benefits as dairy-based yogurts; sometimes, vegan yogurts offer nutrients that even dairy-based yogurts fail to provide.
For instance, flax milk, yogurt, and hemp yogurt contain natural omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Many other varieties of vegan yogurt are fortified with vitamins and minerals to make them healthier. Vegan yogurt is just as rich, smooth, and creamy as conventional yogurt and does not require adaptation of taste and texture.
Makers of vegan yogurt have been focused on experimenting and innovating with new bases and unique flavors to position their product as mainstream. Vegan yogurt is made from milk derived from nuts, seeds, and grains. Nuts used to make the product include coconut, macadamia, hazelnuts, pistachios, pili, almond, and cashew. Seeds used in the making of vegan yogurt include soy, flax, and hemp, whereas grains include oats.
