Flavored Yogurt Market Research Report

Flavored Yogurt Market Trends

The market has shifted dramatically to plant-based yogurts using almond, coconut, soy, and oat milk. This is due mainly to the rise of veganism and growing concerns about lactose intolerant individuals along with sustainability. Manufacturers have made it their priority to enhance the flavor and appearance of their plant-based yogurts so they resemble those made from dairy. This category is quickly becoming popular with young people, especially in urban centres, and will continue to grow in both product diversification and long-term growth of the overall market for flavored yogurt. 

Exotic type flavors, including tropical fruits, fusion blends and flavor variants which mimic dessert items are gaining popularity. In addition, incorporating probiotics, vitamins and enhanced protein levels are more common and add value to the products. Consequently, brands that sell premium flavor yogurts are able to charge a higher price compared to lesser quality brands because they are providing consumers with the opportunities to satisfy their desire for being indulgent, but that also provide them with new ways to improve their health; a trend that is also emerging in the premium segment of the overall market for flavored yogurts, and will continue into the foreseeable future.
