While plant-based alternatives have transformed coffee shop menus over the past decade, shifting health perceptions, sustainability debates and product innovation continues to reshape the role of both dairy and non-dairy beverages.
This roundtable explores how consumer attitudes are evolving, where innovation is happening across both categories, and what the changing landscape means for menu strategy, pricing and future growth.
Session highlights:
- Category evolution – How the balance between dairy and plant-based has shifted and where demand is heading next
- Innovation and menu development – New product innovations and changing consumer expectations
- Consumer attitudes and commercial considerations – Sustainability, health perceptions, pricing pressures and purchasing behaviour
- Looking ahead – Has plant-based reached maturity or is the next wave of innovation still to come?
