Segmental Analysis

Asia-Pacific Coconut Milk Market has been segmented based on Category, Form, Packaging Type, Distribution Channel, and Country.

By category, the Asia-Pacific coconut milk market has been divided into conventional and organic. The conventional segment has accounted for a major market share in 2019 and is projected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. Conventional coconut milk is derived from coconuts grown using conventional farming practices. These are grown under normal conditions with the help of agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides. Thus, the coconut milk obtained might contain a certain number of chemical residues in it. However, the organic segment is projected to exhibit higher growth during the forecast period. Organic coconut milk is obtained from coconuts grown organically. These products are chemical-free and cultivated under stringent guidelines and supervision to maintain purity and low/zero chemical concentration. Organically produced coconut milk is relatively costlier and requires high capital investments for cultivation and processing.

By form, the market has been divided into liquid and powder. Coconut milk is commonly available in liquid form. It undergoes less processing as compared to coconut milk powder and is, comparatively, less expensive. Coconut milk in liquid form is available in bottles, cartons, tetra packs, and pouches. The liquid segment is projected to attain market dominance throughout the study period. It is a readily available form of coconut milk and is preferred for consumption as a beverage. The inconvenience caused during the transportation of coconut milk in liquid form propels the market players to offer the milk in the form of powder.

By packaging type, the market has been divided into bottles, cans, and pouches. The pouches segment accounted for the largest market share of 43.12% in 2019 and is likely to register a 12.47% CAGR during the forecast period, while the cans segment is likely to register the highest CAGR of 12.77% during the review period. Cans are a good storage option at high temperatures. Trans-PET cans being transparent, provide customers with a view of the product, building brand memory. They provide airtight packaging and are a 100% food-grade packaging material.

Based on the distribution channel, the Asia-Pacific coconut milk market has been classified into store-based and non-store-based. The store-based segment is further segmented into supermarkets & hypermarkets, convenience stores, and others. The store-based accounted for a larger market share in 2019. Consumers prefer store-based channels as they provide a one-stop shopping experience. However, the non-store-based segment is projected to expand at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
