It’s been a dozen years since I worked in the milk industry and know exactly why this is happening. More than half of cow milk is used as an additive or ingredient, not as a beverage. Plant-based bevs are primarily consumed as beverages, thus more susceptible to new beverage alternatives, none of which get poured on cereal, in coffee or mashed potatoes.

Plant based beverages are a fad. Like most fads, they will run their course and maybe occupy a small niche going forward.
