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.

typically cheaper

I'm not a vegan, but I'd have preferred soy-based milk if it was cheaper than dairy. They are probably talking about oat base and it is disgusting

Depends on where you get oat milk, as it's quality is weirdly variable. It's generally a pretty good creamer, though it I had to drink it by itself I'd much prefer soy or maybe pea based milk (pretty dang close in both texture and taste).

I love oat milk. Soy is nutritionally better though.
