Rice milk has a flavour, taste, and texture similar to cow's milk and is emerging as one of the most preferred plant-based milk substitutes. Increasing demand for dairy alternatives among lactose-intolerant and nut-intolerant consumers will drive the market in the forthcoming years.

Based on form, demand for rice milk powder will continue gaining momentum. The F&B segment will account for a dominant share in the global market of end-use. By distribution channel, sales of rice milk through online channels will remain high.
The research firm notes that crucial players operating in the global rice milk market invest in partnerships and collaborations to improve their global presence. They are also launching clean-label and non-GMO products to gain a competitive edge.
An analyst for FMI said more awareness of the functional benefits of rice milk, along with increasing incorporation of rice milk powder in infant food and nutraceuticals, will continue augmenting the growth in the market.
