The Global Sour Milk Drink Market reached US$ 5.23 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 7.31 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.27% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Consumers increasingly demand transparency and sustainability in food production; the sour milk drink market is no exception. With growing awareness of gut health and digestive benefits, consumers are increasingly turning to fermented beverages like sour milk drinks, which are rich in probiotics. This trend is firm in regions where consumers are seeking natural and functional beverages that promote health and wellness.
Companies in the sour milk drink market are introducing new flavors and variants, such as those incorporating fruits, herbs and spices. This diversification helps appeal to a wider consumer base, including younger consumers looking for unique taste experiences and health-conscious individuals seeking beverages with added functional benefits, driving the global sour milk drink market.
For instance, in January 2024, Straus Family Creamery introduced a new line of organic low-fat kefirs, further diversifying its premium organic dairy offerings. These kefirs are crafted through a slow fermentation process using whole and nonfat milk, combined with live cultures to deliver a tangy taste and smooth, creamy texture. Versatile in use, they can be enjoyed as a standalone drink, incorporated into marinades or served with granola.
Market Dynamics
Rising Awareness of Probiotics
Rising awareness of probiotics is playing a significant role in driving the global sour milk drink market. As consumers become more knowledgeable about the benefits of probiotics for digestive health, immunity and overall well-being, sour milk drinks are increasingly seen as natural, functional beverages that provide these health advantages. This awareness has led to a surge in demand for probiotic-rich products, positioning sour milk drinks as a key player in the functional food and beverage market.
In response, manufacturers in the sour milk drink market are leveraging this trend by promoting the probiotic content of their products. Marketing strategies often focus on the health-enhancing properties of probiotics, targeting health-conscious consumers who prioritize gut health and immune support. The inclusion of probiotics not only adds value to sour milk drinks but also differentiates them in the competitive market of functional beverages.
For instance, Yakult launched its newest fermented milk drink, Yakult Plus Peach on September 1, 2024. Each bottle contains billions of L. casei Shirota bacteria, which are scientifically proven to reach the gut and promote a healthy microbiome. Yakult Plus Peach is fortified with vitamin C to support immunity and reduce fatigue, along with fiber to nourish gut bacteria, offering a comprehensive boost to digestive health.
Shift Toward Natural and Functional Beverages
As consumers increasingly seek out healthier alternatives to sugary soft drinks and artificial beverages, there is a growing demand for natural products that offer functional health benefits. Sour milk drinks, often perceived as clean-label and naturally fermented products, align perfectly with this consumer preference, positioning them at the forefront of the functional beverage market.
Sour milk drinks are made through fermentation with minimal additives, making them more appealing to health-conscious individuals. The market is seeing a rising interest in beverages that deliver more than refreshments, with sour milk drinks offering probiotics, vitamins and other essential nutrients that support digestive health, immunity and overall well-being.
Additionally, the trend toward natural and functional beverages is leading to product innovation within the sour milk drink market. Brands are introducing fortified versions of sour milk drinks with added ingredients like plant-based extracts, superfoods and even adaptogens, appealing to a wider audience seeking beverages that serve multiple health purposes. The diversification is helping brands tap into niche segments of the market, further boosting demand.
For instance, on April 21, 2023, A Latvian startup introduced a new line of creamy, plant-based fermented drinks aimed at promoting physical, mental and environmental well-being within the competitive functional beverage market. While kefir is traditionally known as a fermented milk drink made from kefir grains, plant-based kefir beverages are still a rarity in the market, making Fermentful's offering a novel addition to the space.
Consumer Aversion to Sour Taste
Consumer aversion to sour taste is expected to act as a significant restraint on the growth of the global sour milk drink market. While sour milk drinks offer various health benefits, the naturally tart or sour flavor profile can deter a large segment of consumers, particularly in regions where sweetened or milder-tasting beverages dominate the market. This consumer preference for less tart flavors limits the acceptance and appeal of sour milk drinks, thereby slowing down market expansion.
In markets where taste preferences lean towards sweet, manufacturers face challenges in promoting these products, as the sour flavor does not align with mainstream demand. As a result, the market struggles to achieve broader penetration, especially in regions unfamiliar with or averse to sour-tasting beverages. Consumer reluctance to embrace sour flavors could push manufacturers to explore flavor masking or blending strategies, the aversion still hampers overall market growth potential.
Market Segment Analysis
The global sour milk drink market is segmented based on type, flavor, source, distribution channel and region.
Growing Innovations and Popularity of Kefir
The kefir segment holds the largest share of the global sour milk drinks market, driven by increasing consumer demand for functional and probiotic-rich beverages. Kefir, known for its health benefits such as improved digestion, gut health and immune support, appeals to a growing segment of health-conscious consumers. The market for kefir is particularly bolstered by the rising awareness of probiotics and their role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, which is leading to higher consumption in regions like North America and Europe.
Kefir’s versatility as a drinkable product, combined with its growing popularity in plant-based and dairy-free variants, expands its appeal across various consumer groups, including those with lactose intolerance. The kefir market benefits from innovation, with brands introducing new flavors and formulations to cater to evolving consumer tastes, as well as from its expanding availability in mainstream retail channels. Key market players are also focusing on organic and non-GMO kefir products to align with the clean-label trend, further driving growth.
For instance, on July 4, 2024, Aldi introduced a new health-boosting beverage to its product lineup with the launch of a large kefir drink. Available for just £1.99, shoppers can pick up a 750ml bottle of Beautiful Everyday Kefir at Aldi stores. The kefir comes in two refreshing flavors: natural and mixed berries, offering a delicious and affordable option for those seeking the health benefits of probiotics.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis
The Russia-Ukraine war has significantly impacted the global sour milk drinks market, introducing a host of challenges and changes that resonate throughout the industry. One of the most immediate effects of the conflict has been the disruption of supply chains, particularly in Europe, where both Russia and Ukraine are major players in the agricultural sector.
The war has led to increased volatility in the supply of raw materials, including dairy products and other essential ingredients used in the production of sour milk drinks. This instability not only raises production costs but also threatens the availability of products in the market, compelling manufacturers to reassess their sourcing strategies and find alternative suppliers, which may not only be time-consuming but also costly.
