Yogurt Drinks Industry Drivers and Restraints

Increased consumer awareness of the health benefits of yogurt drinks is expected to drive growth in the industry during the forecast period. Companies in North America and Asia-Pacific are promoting yogurt as an essential health drink, which is also believed to drive market growth.

In addition, the companies work with dairy farms to ensure an efficient supply of raw materials for the production of yogurt drinks. Hypermarkets and supermarkets are the main distribution channels for yogurt. However, companies like Nestlé; Dana Dairy Group; Arla, and Ultima Foods Inc. sell their products through retailers such as Carrefour and Walmart. Increased awareness of the downsides of high sugar intake, which leads to conditions like obesity and heart disease, is likely to be a critical factor in the non-fat beverage market. This, in turn, is expected to trigger growth in the yogurt drink market. The opportunity to create a new line of fat-free, low-sugar products has increased due to the growing population of people with diabetes. Yogurt, available in different flavors, is considered a dietary option in many countries. Therefore, various manufacturers are involved in innovation to develop new features to meet the growing demand. The need for packaging for plastic bottles represents a market share of 64.22% in 2016 in terms of turnover. With the change in lifestyle, large numbers of people around the world are turning to move products, which in turn is believed to drive Yogurt Drinks Market growth during the outlook period.

Yogurt makers are likely to incur high costs due to growing environmental concerns related to expensive yogurt beverage packaging processes. To avoid this problem, yogurt manufacturers are working with local dairy distributors to penetrate the market in developing regions. The demand for yogurt drinks in convenience stores is expected to increase in the coming years, supported by the growth in the workforce. These consumers prefer to buy yogurt drinks at convenience stores. Additionally, the convenience store segment is expected to experience rapid growth during the foreseen period due to advances in dairy farms, increased product varieties, and the development of packaging and distribution technologies. Increased consumption of non-dairy beverages is supposed to hamper the growth of the industry. The growing vegan population in regions such as North America and Asia-Pacific is also expected to limit the Yogurt Drinks Market growth.
