The global plant-based milk market is projected to grow from $20 billion to $51.87 billion in the next decade, driven by dietary shifts, lactose intolerance, and environmental concerns, with almond milk holding 35% of the market. However, the dairy market is also expected to grow 2.5 times despite challenges such as the war in Ukraine causing a rise in dairy raw material prices and a decrease in raw milk production. In 2023, Ukraine saw a 5.8% decrease in raw milk production and a nearly 30% decrease in dairy product exports, leading to a negative export-import balance of $77.2 million.
