The biggest challenge with the market for non-dairy creamer is a price sensitivity, much more in premium or organic varieties. Non-dairy creamers are usually charged higher than conventional dairy-based creamers due to their usage of plant ingredients of superior quality, such as almonds, oats, and coconut, and the specialized processing that goes into making these products. Organic and specialty non-dairy creamers catering to a health-conscious consumer can be even more expensive with costs of certifications, sourcing costs, and production standards. The high costs for price-sensitive consumers would therefore deter consumption in regular use, especially where lower-priced options command a larger market share. These non-dairy creamers, therefore will be prevented from mass adoption by a bigger population, especially in price-sensitive regions or households by the inbuilt cost. Although there is an increased demand for plant-based and lactose-free alternatives, it will be the major deterring factor to consumer purchasing decisions as well as generally constrain the general market growth.
