Global Coconut Milk Market Dynamics

Drivers: Rise in consumption of nutritious drinks

Consumers are actively focused on the fitness and health. Active and health-conscious consumers have shifted their preference toward natural alternatives to caffeinated and sugar-based energy drinks. Coconut milk possesses low levels of fats and sugars, with very low calorific value. It has many antioxidants and possesses therapeutic properties. Coconut milk helps in maintaining cardiovascular health, kidney health, and blood pressure levels. It also helps in diabetes management. Hence, the demand for coconut milk as a nutritious drink is witnessing rapid growth due to its nutritional properties such as nutrients and electrolytes.

Restraints: Stagnant or slight decline in production of coconut relative to the increasing demand

The demand for coconut milk has grown exponentially in the recent past, owing to increasing consumption in the food & beverage industry. However, the production of coconuts did not increase significantly in response to the exponential demand. In contrast, the production has slightly decreased in Asia, which accounts for more than three-fourths of the global coconut production. The price of coconut has increased significantly in the past and producers have not expanded their production capacities in response to the same, because the peak yield of the coconut tree is only between age 10 and 30 years, the climatic condition required for coconut tree plantation, and small landholdings of coconut farmers.

Due to difficulty scaling up the production of coconut trees, it’s not likely that production will expand significantly in the future. Hence, producers must rely on innovative solutions to utilize the current production and capitalize on this demand surge.
