This change is fueled by the wealth of information available through various media platforms, educational efforts, and personal interactions.

The increasing popularity of plant-based milk options like almond, soy, and oat milk reflects this evolving consumer preference. These alternatives come with numerous benefits, including allergen-friendliness, reduced environmental impact, and versatility in culinary and beverage uses. As a result, the plant-based beverages sector is expected to continue its growth, meeting the evolving needs and preferences of health-conscious consumers.
