23-Jul-2019 - USA

The hemp milk market is undergoing several transformations. The market is gaining traction due to the growing number of health-conscious population, rising demand for organic food and beverages, and a growing awareness of fitness.

The prevalence of a large population with lactose intolerance is one of the major drivers for non-dairy milk products. Global manufacturers are introducing flavored hemp milk with low calorie content or unsweetened varieties to cater to the increasing demand from health-conscious population. Hemp milk is gaining popularity among health enthusiasts as it contains a high quantity of proteins and omega-3 fatty acids with low-fat content. Several eminent medical professionals and dieticians around the world are recommending the consumption of hemp milk to overcome the protein deficiency. Over the last few years, the global health and wellness industry has been witnessing considerable growth mainly due to rising health challenges. Further, hemp milk suppliers are largely targeting health-conscious consumers to increase the demand and sale of their products, which is expected to drive the hemp milk industry in the coming years.

Further, the growing preference for vegan and plant-based diets among consumers due to increasing concerns over animal rights and growing responsiveness toward environmental protection is driving the market for plant-based food and beverages thereby driving the demand for hemp milk.
