Thai Glico Launches Glico Almond Koka Dark Caramel Almond Milk with Vitamin E

Thai Glico Co., Ltd., a leader in almond milk production with consecutive number one sales in Japan between 2018 and 2025, has officially announced the launch of a new beverage flavour, Glico Almond Koka Dark Caramel, in Thailand. This new product bolsters the brand's plant-based alternative beverages to fully meet the demands of health-conscious Thai consumers, offering the deliciousness of an intense and well-balanced caramel flavour. It is available from today onwards at all 7-Eleven convenience store branches nationwide.

Responding to the Popularity of Plant-Based Beverages in Thailand

The overall market for plant-based milk alternative beverages in Thailand has been on an upward trend and expanding remarkably over the past several years. Statistical data forecasts that the total market value of this product group will jump as high as 4.2 billion baht by 2026, which is equivalent to a growth rate of approximately 5.0 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The main factors driving such growth result from the development of product variety from various brands, combined with the expansion of more comprehensive distribution channels. These factors help consumers to easily and quickly find and try healthy beverages.

In addition to the increasing demand for niche food consumption, key factors influencing the decision to purchase alternative milk products in this era are a delicious taste, an easy-to-drink texture, and the nutritional benefits the body will receive. Mr Chalermpong Darongsuwan, Managing Director of Thai Glico Co., Ltd., emphasised that the company places importance on creating a balance between the enjoyment of eating and maintaining good health. The launch of this new flavour therefore reflects the commitment to continuously developing new products that align with changing lifestyles.

Premium Ingredients and Comprehensive Nutrition

The Glico Almond Koka Dark Caramel beverage takes the distinctiveness of the popular flavour from Japan and adapts it to suit Thai preferences, blending the smoothness of almond milk with the delicate aroma of caramel. The main ingredients used are almonds meticulously selected for quality from leading growing regions in the United States and Australia, resulting in a well-rounded tasting beverage with a perfect level of sweetness that is not overly rich. Consumers can pair it with their favourite drinks such as coffee, or chill it for a refreshing drink during the day.

Regarding nutritional value, this product is rich in vitamin E, containing up to 100 percent of the daily requirement, which contributes to the natural antioxidant process. The beverage is also high in dietary fibre, contains no cholesterol, and is free from cow's milk and lactose. It therefore meets the needs of those with lactose intolerance and those who choose a plant-based diet. The addition of this new flavour brings more variety to the brand's almond milk beverage family, which previously had original, unsweetened, mixed 3 nuts, and chocolate flavours available in the market.

The news of this new product launch should be highly beneficial for event organisers, restaurant operators, as well as hotel professionals who are looking for healthy alternative beverages to serve customers or prepare for catered receptions. This is because the trend of consuming plant-based milk is gaining high popularity among tourists and the general health-conscious public.
