- The dairy milk market is facing challenges from the rise of non-dairy milks like almond, coconut, and soy milks. Millennials in particular prefer the taste of non-dairy options and believe they are more nutritious. Almond and coconut milks have seen huge growth in recent years.
- To improve dairy milk sales, the dairy industry should focus on marketing directly to millennials by emphasizing the protein and nutrient contents of dairy over non-dairy options. They should consider in-store sampling to influence consumer perceptions of dairy milk and advertise the benefits of dairy to appeal to health-conscious millennials.
