billion by the year 2024, with a CAGR
of 12.4%. It shows that there is a
tremendous potential for plant-based
food & beverages, which gives the

5. The Plant based Beverages are processed
and manufactured by extracting the plant
material, separating the essentials and the
solid matter, and producing the final product
with the homogenization and pasteurization
process.
Here a variety of plant-based ingredients are
used to produce alternatives to Dairy-Milk,
Viz. Soybean, Chia, Hazelnuts, Oat, Rice,
Coconut, Almond, Cashew, Peanuts, Potato,
Flax, Hemp, Tigernut, Lupin, Sesame, and
Quinoa, etc.
As compared to nutritional composition of
Dairy-Milk, all these Plant Based Beverages/
Non-Dairy Milk Products aren’t naturally high
in nutrients, specifically in calcium, and to
solve this the Plant Based Beverages needs
to be fortified during the process.

7. Which (Plant) Milk Is the Most
Sustainable?
Every liter of cow’s milk produced uses
up 628 liters of water and generates 3.2
kgs of CO₂. Even the most water hungry
among the plant milks, almond milk,
reaches only 60 percent of that water
use and the biggest polluter among
them, rice milk, causes not even 40
percent of the emissions generated by
cow’s milk. Soy and oat milk are even
more sustainable options when it comes
to water use, only requiring a fraction of
the water used in the production of
cow’s milk.

8. Potato Milk
Allergic to milk
proteins? Time to opt
for potato milk!
