Males tend to consume Soy Drinks slightly more often than females.

This is reflected in the value shares of the market, with males accounting for 55% of the market by value.

Soy Milk is the most valuable category in the Italian Soy Drinks market, with a market share of 51%. The second-largest category, Soy Desserts, is twice as large as the third-largest category, Soy Drinks.

Private label penetration is highest for Soy Milk, where 18% of the volume of products distributed is private label. However, private labels account for only 6% and 8% of the Soy Desserts and Soy Drinks markets, respectively, indicating that retailers may increase their investment in these areas in order to grow their market share to that recorded in Soy Milk.
