Oat Milk is a type of drink made by mixing oatmeal cereal with water and vegetable oil. The oatmeal drink is available in different flavors like chocolate, mango or orange to add to its flavor. It can be added to coffee or to the preparation of smoothies or muffins to improve its nutritional value. The oatmeal drink is gaining popularity as it is a healthy alternative to cow's milk for people with lactose intolerance. Oats are easy to grow, making the product inexpensive and widely available year-round.

Global Oat Milk Market Drivers and Restraints:

Increased consumer awareness of the benefits of oat milk, the increasing popularity of the vegan diet, and increasing cases of dairy milk allergies are likely to drive demand for the products during the forecast period. Oat milk is a plant-based, lactose-free drink that is used primarily as an alternative to dairy milk in tea, smoothies, coffee, and various healthy drinks because it is rich in iron, potassium, calcium, and vitamin D. It also provides a substantial proportion of calcium and protein. Getting calcium in the correct amount reduces the risk of osteoporosis and also helps muscle and nerve function, maintaining cardiovascular health. These health benefits of oat milk increase its demand. As per the fact sheet published by the World Health Organization (WHO) on cardiovascular diseases in May 2017, it was estimated that 17.9 million people died of cardiovascular disease in 2016, which represented 31% of all global deaths. It is necessary to reduce the consumption of saturated fats to maintain normal levels of cholesterol in the blood, thus avoiding the appearance of CVD. Oatmeal is naturally low in saturated fat, and therefore an increased demand for oatmeal-containing food products from people with cardiovascular disease is expected to drive market growth. Growing cases of lactose intolerance are also driving demand for the products. Also, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, sales are increasing rapidly. Consumers are buying supplies in bulk due to the blockade in many major cities around the world. Being stable, most brands of oat milk can be stored longer than other non-dairy dairy products.
