Description
Brazil Dairy Alternatives Market Summary
The Brazil dairy alternatives market size was estimated at USD 998.6 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.95 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is driven by rising consumer awareness of preventive health and dietary sensitivities, particularly lactose intolerance, which affects a significant proportion of the Brazilian population.
According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), over 15.6% of the population was aged 60 or above in 2023. With this share steadily increasing, the demand for lighter, digestive-friendly beverages is expected to increase. The launch of innovative plant-based products by brands like NotCo and Danone reflects strong R&D and retail expansion. Growing urbanization and a rising preference for sustainable and clean-label diets further reinforce demand for dairy-free options across Brazil.
Brazil's precision fermentation sector has gained remarkable momentum, significantly enhancing the dairy alternatives landscape. In June 2025, a São Paulo-based startup, Future Cow, successfully produced its first casein and whey proteins without cows through precision fermentation, supported by FAPESP and CNPEM, with industrial-scale production anticipated by late 2026. The company secured approximately USD 885,000 in funding to advance R&D and scale-up efforts under licensing partnerships. These breakthroughs mark a pivotal shift toward combining traditional agriculture with biotech innovation, enabling hybrid dairy formulations that support environmental sustainability and offer new market options for plant-based protein.
