Coconut Milk Powder Market Drivers

Consumer Shift Towards Veganism and Vegetarianism

Veganism has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by increased consumer awareness regarding health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. As individuals adopt plant-based diets, there is a growing demand for non-dairy alternatives that cater to their lifestyle choices. The popularity of vegan diets continues to rise, as evidenced by participation in the Veganuary campaign, which saw approximately 700,000 participants in January 2023, up from 692,000 in 2022, 582,000 in 2021, and 400,000 in 2020. Over 1.5 billion individuals worldwide identify as vegetarians (source: Great Green Wall organization), while the World Animal Foundation estimates approximately 88 million vegans globally. In Europe, the vegan population has risen from 13 million in 2016 to 2.5 million in 2020, representing 3.2% of the total European population, according to the European Vegetarian Union (EVU).

Furthermore, according to a 2022 survey conducted by the Vegetarian Resource Group, approximately 6% of Americans completely abstain from meat and fish, with this group evenly split between vegetarians and vegans. Additionally, 12% of Americans regularly consume vegetarian or vegan meals, while a larger segment, 45%, occasionally includes these options. The global demand for plant-based and cruelty-free meals has surged, reflecting heightened environmental awareness and compassion for animals. According to the Plant-based Foods Association and The Good Food Institute indicates that U.S. retail sales of plant-based foods rose by 6.2% in 2021 compared to 2020, with the total plant-based market valued at USD 7.4 billion. As the vegan population continues to grow, there is an increasing demand for coconut milk powder.

Coconut Milk Powder Market Opportunities

Increasing Consumer Awareness for Healthy Food Ingredients

In recent years, the dairy alternatives industry has seen a surge in consumer purchases. Amid rising concerns over the environmental impact of livestock production, established dairy companies face mounting pressure from environmentalists and animal rights activists. In response to consumers’ shift toward more sustainable and health-conscious eating habits, companies throughout the food value chain, from producers to retailers, are actively investing in these emerging opportunities. Consumers are increasingly seeking plant-based, lactose-free, and allergen-free options in their daily diet, which coconut milk powder caters to effectively. Coconut milk powder is increasingly being incorporated into food and beverages such as protein shakes, smoothies, and health bars due to its compatibility with superfoods and adaptogens.

By Nature, the Conventional Segment is Expected to Dominate the Coconut Milk Powder Market in 2025

Based on nature, the coconut milk powder market is segmented into conventional and organic. In 2025, the conventional segment is expected to account for a larger share of the coconut milk powder market. This segment's significant market share can be attributed to widespread availability, lower cost, and higher consumer preference for conventional coconut milk powder. Additionally, conventional coconut milk powder is more commonly used in food and beverage applications, including baked goods, confectionery, and ready-to-drink beverages, due to its consistent quality and extended shelf life. Moreover, the established supply chains and large-scale production of conventional coconut milk powder contribute to its dominant market position.

However, the organic segment is projected to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The high growth of this segment is mainly driven by the rising demand for certified organic food products, growing awareness regarding the benefits of consuming organic products, and rising demand for premium food products.

By application, the food segment is the largest end user of coconut milk powder due to its widespread application in various food products, rising consumer preference for plant-based alternatives, and long shelf life compared to liquid coconut milk. It is extensively used in bakery, confectionery, ready-to-eat meals, sauces, soups, and desserts due to its rich flavor and creamy texture. The growing demand for vegan, lactose-free, and clean-label products has further boosted its adoption as a dairy alternative. Additionally, the food industry's reliance on convenience ingredients with a longer shelf life makes coconut milk powder a preferred choice over fresh or liquid coconut milk.
