China Dairy Alternatives Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Source (Soy, Almond), By Product (Milk, Yogurt, Cheese, Ice Cream), By Distribution Channel (Supermarket & Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores), And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2033
Description
China Dairy Alternatives Market Summary
The China dairy alternatives market size was estimated at USD 6.00 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 19.16 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.8% from 2025 to 2033. The market growth is attributed to the shifting consumer preferences toward plant-based nutrition and wellness.
Increasing awareness of lactose intolerance, prevalent among a significant portion of the Asian population, has led to rising demand for dairy-free products such as soy, almond, oat, and rice milk.
Rapid urbanization in China is expected to drive market growth. In 2024, the National Bureau of Statistics reported that China's urbanization ratio-the percentage of the population living in urban areas-reached 67%. This represents an over one percentage point increase per year, sustained for the past 45 years.
Additionally, consumers are becoming more informed about their choices as disposable income rises. They are increasingly willing to spend on premium dairy alternatives that offer perceived health benefits, sustainability, and ethical sourcing. The growing influence of Western dietary habits, social media advocacy for plant-based living, and the entry of international brands into the Chinese retail market further bolsters this trend.
