As “health,” “nutrition,” and “sustainability” continue to shape global consumption trends, the beverage industry is entering a new era of structural transformation.

From “zero sugar” to “high protein,” plant-based beverages have become the centerpiece of the next wave of health-conscious innovation.

According to IMARC Group, the global plant-based beverage market exceeded USD 19 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 34 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of over 10%. In China, soy milk, oat milk, and mixed plant-based drinks are rapidly gaining mainstream popularity.

Consumers'concept of health is evolving—from “low sugar, low fat” toward “high protein and natural formulations.” Beverages are no longer viewed as functional supplements, but as integral parts of a balanced, everyday diet.
