China Dairy Alternative Market
The vegan lifestyle is becoming more popular in China, particularly in larger cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. This shift is due to the influence of Western culture and growing concerns about animal welfare and sustainability. Non-dairy products, including butter, are increasingly being adopted, with nut-based butter being particularly popular due to its natural and healthy fats. Dairy foods still have a high penetration rate in first-tier cities, where online shopping is more prevalent.Only 20% of Chinese households in lower-tier cities and rural areas regularly consume dairy products. However, cross-border commerce and purchasing dairy products via Daigous are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among young urbanites.
