Dairy Alternatives Market Worth $44.89 Billion by 2027
According to a new market research report published by market intelligence provider Meticulous Research, the dairy alternatives market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2% from 2020 to reach $44.89 billion by 2027.
The report, titled “Dairy Alternatives Market by Product Type (Plant Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Butter, Ice Cream), Source (Almond Protein, Soy Protein, Wheat Protein), and Distribution Channel (Business to Business and Business to Customers)—Global Forecast to 2027,” covers market size, market share, forecasts, and trend analyses.
Plant-based dairy products consist of ingredients derived from plants, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. These ingredients differentiate them from animal-based foods because their fiber fraction comprises indigestible compounds, mainly pectin, hemicellulose, cellulose, and resistant starch. The increased intolerance of animal proteins supports the growth of this market in addition to the nutritional benefits of plant-based food, the increasing vegan population, and the venture investments in plant-based food.
Moreover, emerging economies provide significant opportunities for companies operating in the global dairy alternatives market. However, a significant preference for animal-based products and consumer preference for soy and gluten-free products are the factors expected to hinder this market's growth. The dairy alternatives market is segmented based on type, source, distribution channel, and region.

Worry-Prone Men May Develop More CVD Risk Factors
Middle-aged men who worry a great deal have a higher chance of developing risk factors that can lead to heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes as they age, according to a new study that tracked men for 40 years.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, found men who often felt anxious or overwhelmed developed heart disease risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol at a faster rate than their less-worried peers. The biggest worriers had a 10% to 13% greater chance of eventually accumulating six or more risk factors, compounding the risks of heart disease and stroke associated with normal aging.
"Having six or more high-risk cardiometabolic markers suggests that an individual is very likely to develop or has already developed cardiometabolic disease," said lead study author Lewina Lee, PhD, in a news release. Lee is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine and an investigator and clinical psychologist at the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder at the VA.
