Thirty-seven percent of households in Germany, 33 percent in the UK, and 19 percent in Spain purchased plant-based meat at least once last year. Over 33 percent of households in Germany and the UK and 40 percent in Spain bought plant-based milk at least once.

Certain categories are also making further progress towards price parity with animal products, a long-awaited benchmark of success for the sector. For example, brand-name plant-based cream products are typically cheaper than dairy in the UK, while Germany’s private-label plant-based milk is 13 percent cheaper than equivalent private-label dairy milk.

    The prices are still insane in Hungary. You mean you fed a cow multiple times the amount of plant matter, milked it, pasteurized it, have to sell it within a short window, and that costs half or more like a third the price of oat milk? Ok.

      Yeah because dairy cows have a ridiculous output of milk. Like 25l a day, some going up to 40l.

        Yeah I’m sure it has nothing to do with subsidies and other incentives, and economy of scale.
