Key Market Findings

• Shift from Convenience to Conscious Consumption

Consumers are moving away from convenience foods and opting for more conscious, health-driven choices. Almond yogurt fits this trend perfectly, offering a clean-label alternative that appeals to consumers seeking transparency in ingredients. As more people prioritize health, ethical sourcing, and sustainability, almond yogurt’s position as a wholesome option is becoming increasingly influential in the dairy-alternative market.

Many brands are shifting toward eco-friendly, recyclable, or biodegradable packaging to enhance their sustainability credentials. This holistic approach to sustainability resonates with environmentally-conscious consumers, particularly in markets like Europe and North America, where eco-packaging is becoming as important as the product itself.
