Soy is also the main source of minerals such as zinc and iron and contains isoflavones that reduce the risk of breast cancer in women. Moreover, soy products such as soy milk and cream act as a perfect substitute for a high-fat diet and dairy milk.

APAC is the largest revenue-generating region in the soy milk and cream market and is anticipated to occupy around 44% of the overall market revenue during the forecast period. Much of the region’s growth is driven by the rising number of health-conscious individuals, growing vegan population, and increasing disposable income among consumers. The market is also witnessing a huge demand for lactose-free products such as non-dairy milk and cream from developing countries such as China, India, and Indonesia. The high demand for lactose-free products along with the number of people with lactose indolence is the major cause for the significant need for soy milk and cream in APAC.
