The "Regular/Full-Fat" segment leads the market with a projected 71.3% share in 2025, largely due to its desirable texture and versatility in coffee applications. Simultaneously, "Natural" (unflavored) oat milk is set to dominate the flavor category with a 58.3% market share, driven by consumer demand for clean labels, minimal ingredients, and adaptability across various culinary uses.

The "Shelf-Stable" format is also a clear leader, projected to capture 61.3% of the market in 2025. Its extended shelf life, ambient storage capabilities, and lower distribution costs make it highly appealing for large-scale retail, e-commerce, and foodservice, particularly in regions with developing cold chain infrastructure.

Geographically, the USA is projected to be the fastest-growing market, exhibiting a remarkable 16.5% CAGR, fueled by strong consumer demand and widespread adoption of plant-based alternatives.
