Japan Milk Alternatives Industry Trends and Drivers:

In Japan, the market of milk alternatives is growing at a very remarkable rate due to the dietary trends, lactose intolerance issues, environmental awareness, animal welfare, and the fact that plant-based products are in line with the modern health and sustainability trends. The increasing awareness of lactose intolerance and dairy allergies among large groups of the Japanese population has led to medical demand of milk substitutes as safe alternatives that allow individuals with dietary limitations to buy milk-like products with comparable nutritional values. The consumer audience with health awareness is aware of the possible cholesterol-free status of the plant-based milk substitutes, lower saturated fat content than whole dairy milk, and the existence of fortified ones containing the same amount of calcium, vitamin D, and protein as a conventional milk product. The fact that plant-based dairy products are more environmentally friendly in terms of environmental sustainability makes a lot of sense to the Japanese consumers who are worried about greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and land use in conventional dairy farming, which makes them prefer plants-based products that consume significantly less natural resources. Furthermore, the increasing number of vegetarians and vegans, animal welfare ethical issues in dairy production, and religious dietary habits of multicultural populations create a long-term demand of milk substitutes among different consumer groups.

Product innovation into more flavors, better taste and texture to be more in line with dairy milk and specialized formulations to meet specific nutritional requirements and consumption situations are benefiting the market. The historically most used alternative soy milk is competing with new alternatives such as oat milk that has attracted a considerable share of the market based on its neutral flavor, creamy texture, environmental friendliness, and attractiveness toward consumers with allergies to soy or nuts. Milk alternatives can find their way into different consumption events like coffee and cereal consumption by the diversification of its product forms such as ready-to-drink, conveniently used formulations in powder form, yogurt alternatives, ice cream alternatives, and cooking ingredients. The growth of distribution networks such as the supermarkets, cafes, convenience stores and online stores has also helped in terms of increasing the level of accessibility and the normalization of the milk alternatives as mainstream goods and not as specialty goods that only exist in health food stores. The Japanese coffee and cafe culture offers customers important consumption events with specialty coffee shops offering milk alternative drinks that meet customer preferences and diet requirements, provide brand awareness and brand experimentation. In addition, the shift to milk substitutes by companies and institutions in their workplace cafeterias, schools, and hospitals is a sign of increased acceptance, but it exposes the product to new consumer segments. The trend of premiumization makes milk substitutes a high-hedge beverage product that will be appealing to a discerning consumer who is keen on quality and health-oriented products as opposed to the commodity products.
