Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest a milk sugar component known as lactose, which causes several gastrointestinal systems such as bloating, flatulence, cramps, and diarrhoea in some individuals. Moreover, it results from a shortage of lactase enzymes, which break down lactose into simpler forms, glucose, and galactose. As per the US Department of Health & Human Services, approximately 65% of the US population has difficulty digesting lactose after infancy. The rising prevalence of lactose intolerance has led US consumers to shift from dairy-based products to dairy-free products such as non-dairy cream cheese. Additionally, the demand for soy and wheat proteins is growing rapidly due to an increase in the number of individuals who are adopting a vegetarian lifestyle and opting for plant-based rather than animal-based ingredients. This, in turn, is boosting the demand for non-dairy cream cheese.

The key players are investing more in research and development to launch new products with innovations and few players have launched food and beverages products that contain probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes. The European Commission and EPA have formulated protective regulations to expand the development as well as consumption of naturally obtained ingredients due to the rising concerns about reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

Segmentation

By Flavor Type

  • Flavored: Flavored non-dairy cream cheese refers to the products in which additional flavours have been added to expand the product portfolio and offer customers different variants of the same product. The flavour is one of the essential attributes of a product that has a high influence on consumer buying behaviour as it helps in enhancing the eating experience of the consumers.
  • Plain/Unflavored: Plain non-dairy cream cheese refers to products in which no additional flavours have been added. Plain non-dairy cream cheese retains only the natural taste and flavour of the necessary raw materials used to make it such as the milk source. They often taste off due to the plant proteins present in them, resulting in a lower market share.

By Ingredients

  • Soy: Soy is used for producing soy milk, plant-based milk, and a stable emulsion of water, oil, and protein. The segmental market is still at a nascent stage of development and is gaining traction as soy is a non-dairy milk alternative used to make non-dairy cream cheese. It is free from cholesterol and lactose and has a low saturated fat content. Such factors are driving the segment growth.
  • Almond: Almond milk is used to make dairy-free cream cheese. Tree nuts are a very rich source of fibre, protein, and essential fats that are required for a healthy body. Almonds are a rich source of non-dairy calcium and are gaining importance in a non-dairy diet.
  • Coconut: Coconut milk or cream is also used to make dairy-free cream cheese. The majority of the market players prefer coconut milk over cream as coconut milk provides better consistency.
  • Others: The other segment mainly includes cashew, rice, and blends. These sources hold a very small share of the non-dairy cream cheese market and are thus considered a cumulative segment. Cashew is a prominent type of nut preferred by the majority of consumers.
