According to a journal on food additives and contaminants, the arsenic proportion in rice milk has a mean value of 63%, which is dangerous for human health. Non-dairy milk producing companies are increasingly focusing on improving the shelf life of their products. Companies are trying to decrease the rate of bacterial formation in non-dairy milk through bacterial clarification using separators intended to remove bacterial spores. Ultra-pasteurization involves heating milk to a temperature of more than 280°F for at least 2 seconds that will kill harmful bacteria and increases shelf life to up to 120 days. For instance, soymilk produced by SunOpta is processed using ultra-pasteurization and has an extended shelf life of 12 months. Also, ultra-pasteurized almond milk by Pacific Foods has a shelf life of about a year. Non-dairy milk producers are governed by various regulations related to product quality, labelling, and others.

Increasing cases of lactose intolerance and milk allergies are projected to contribute to the dairy alternatives market's growth. Lactose intolerance or congenital lactase deficiency is a situation wherein the small intestine is incapable of making the enzyme lactase to break down or digest lactose, moving undigested lactose to the large intestine, causing symptoms such as diarrhoea, gas, and bloating. According to the Cleveland Clinic, more than 30 million people in America are lactose intolerant. This scenario is likely to generate higher demand for dairy alternatives, which in turn, is anticipated to boost the market's revenue over the forecast period. A lack of awareness among consumers about the nutritional benefits of dairy alternative products is expected to hinder the growth of the market. Many dairy consumers feel that dairy substitutes are lower in nutritional content than cow’s milk and other dairy products. According to a Cargill study, about 90% of households in America consume dairy products as a part of their daily diets, whereas only 4% of the population consumes only non-dairy products. Therefore, the lack of awareness among the populace about the nutritional benefits of dairy alternatives is expected to hinder the growth of the market over the next few years.

This dairy food research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global dairy food market grew from $944.39 billion in 2022 to $1,018.35 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The dairy food market is expected to grow to $1329.15 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.9%. The increasing demand for local, sustainable, and organic food production is expected to positively impact the dairy food market during the forecast period. Organic food production, including organic dairy products, places a strong emphasis on consumer health, environmental protection, and animal welfare. Consumers are now becoming more concerned with how food is raised and prepared and are willing to pay a little more for something they recognise as healthy. Across Europe, there is a very high import rate (especially for fruits and vegetables), as the rate of production is far lower than the consumer demand for organic produce. For instance, in June 2022, the Organic Trade Association, a US-based trade association representing over 9,500 organic businesses, between the years 2020 and 2021, organic sales increased by 2% surpassing $ 63 billion as compared to previous years. Additionally, the sales of organic dairy products and eggs remained largely unchanged through 2021, but they still surpassed 2019 sales by about 11%. This growing demand for organic products offers considerable opportunities for dairy product producers in both developed and developing countries, which is likely to drive the market during the forecast period. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the dairy food market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the dairy food market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. The internet of things (IoT) technology is increasingly being used to track dairy products and ensure safe product handling. IoT technology consists of a network of devices, vehicles, or other items that continuously exchange data and provide insights into a process or system. This technology is being used to track ingredients being used in products. Equipment connected to the internet in trucks and storage coolers can be used to monitor dairy products and tag them with environmental conditions like temperature or location that provide information about safe product handling during transportation. For instance, the Chinese government implemented the National Food Quality Safety Traceability Platform, using IoT technology to improve the quality and safety of food production supply chains.
