Global Soy Desserts Market 2016-2020

Outlook of the soy desserts market

The global soy desserts market is envisaged to witness steady growth and will post a CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period. Increasing awareness of the several health benefits associated with the consumption of soy is one of the most important factors driving the growth of this market in the coming years. Soy contains the perfect proportion of all the nine essential amino acids that are vital for an individual’s wellbeing. Moreover, soy also contains phytosterols that help prevent cholesterol absorption, thereby, reducing the risks of a heart failure. Additionally, the role of soy and soy-based products in increasing bone density and as a good source of vitamin B6 and B12 will lead to its augmented demand over the next four years.

The growing popularity of soy milk is one of the key trends propelling the growth prospects for this market until the end of 2020. As soy milk is derived by finely grinding, boiling, and soaking soybeans in water, it is dairy free and contains only vegetable proteins. Also, soy milk enhances the lipid profile, promotes weight loss, reduces the risk of prostate cancer, and helps in preventing osteoporosis. Since soy milk is the main ingredient of most soy desserts, its increasing consumption will contribute to the growth of the soy desserts market during the forecast period.
