2. Alternative Dairy and Water
"The beverage category has always been on the cutting edge of inno-
vation," observes Ortega, who notes that soy and rice milk are taking
a back seat to coconut milk beverages, especially those blended with
other nut milks like almond or cashew.
According to a Mintel report, "Non-dairy Milk—U.S., April
2016," total non-dairy milk sales are expected to continue
upward as consumers search for better-for-you alternatives to
dairy milk, and as plant-based alternatives continue to trend, with
f lavor, function, and nutrition attracting new audiences.
"We have more and more requests for dairy alternatives at our
coffee bar and coconut is everyone's top choice," says Bethany Barron,
grocery manager at Rocket Market in Spokane, Washington. The
store makes a popular espresso drink specifically with So Delicious
coconut milk.
Global consumption of coconut
water jumped 13 percent from 2014
to 2015, following a 24 percent
increase the previous year.
