So growing number of vegetarians is augmenting the market growth. For this food companies are introducing a diverse range of coconut milk and creamers by varying their fat content and flavour and even launching easy-to-carry package formats to boost convenience.
Increasing incidence of lactose intolerance among population is also creating demand for plant-based protein. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, about 68% of the world's population has lactose malabsorption. However, lactose intolerance rates vary widely depending on ethnicity, with as few as 5% of Northern Europeans and as many as 90% of East Asians having lactose intolerance, as stated by the Canadian Society of Intestinal Research.
