You read it here first: Full year data shows that in 2023, tumbling plant-based beverage consumption left imitators with a smaller market share compared to fluid #milk than a year earlier. So could we please cut the talk about "rising alternatives"? People prefer what's #real. Read our latest Dairy Defined.
Imagine if it was properly labeled as what it is, "nut juice".
Milk is from a cow. Milk wins.
The picture on the poster is deceiving though. Lactaid is lactose-reduced. It is not plant-based.
Plant based beverages are a fad. Like most fads, they will run their course and maybe occupy a small niche going forward.
Whole milk for the victory!
Good news…. Informative….I look forward to seeing this news in marketplace!

5moIt’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.
