Soy
milk acts as a great substitute for cow milk as it contains an equal amount of
protein and is low in calories. Demand for low-calorie products is high due to
growing obesity. Hence, soy milk is preferred by a lot of consumers who are
weight conscious or trying to lose weight. This product also lowers the bad
cholesterol level and is highly preferred by heart patients. The product is
also popular among lactose intolerant and anemic population as it is naturally
lactose-free and rich in iron. Its high isoflavone content is known to prevent
hormone-related cancers.
Numerous
other benefits of the product are expected to increase the overall consumption
of soy milk and drive the market. However, this product can face stiff
competition from its substitutes in the market, such as almond and coconut
milk. These substitutes are more easily available due to greater awareness
among consumers. Hence, manufacturers are also focusing on increasing awareness
about their product via marketing campaigns. Another factor that can obstruct
the market growth is the low calcium content in the natural form of the
product. Calcium fortified soy milk is available in the market but such milk
may not be fit for regular consumption due to external addition of nutrients.

Introduction
of various flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry by the manufacturers
to mask the nutty taste of soy milk is propelling the product demand among
kids. However, unflavored or plain soy milk is consumed on a large scale due to
its high production. Key manufacturers are investing in research and
development to curb the nutty taste by introducing more flavors and selling the
product in attractive packages via many distribution channels. Celebrity
endorsements are also positively impacting the consumer preference for the
product.
The
unflavored segment was prominent in 2018 and is anticipated to continue the
trend for the next few years. Unflavored soy milk is not fortified or
artificially sweetened and hence is preferred by many consumers. Many
manufacturers provide the product fortified with calcium and other essential
nutrients to increase its consumption.
