Oatly
Summary
Oatly is a Swedish company that specializes in oat-based products, particularly oat milk. It was created by food scientist Rickard Öste, a food scientist at Lund University in Sweden. The company started small, focusing on the Swedish market, but gradually expanded as the demand for plant-based products grew. Over time, Oatly's product range expanded beyond oat milk to include other oat-based products like yoghurt, ice cream, and cooking creams. Oatly is known for its commitment to sustainability, promoting its products as environmentally friendly alternatives to dairy, with a lower carbon footprint and resource use. The company's distinctive branding and marketing, often humorous and provocative, have made it a leader in the plant-based milk industry. Oatly went public in 2021 and has expanded rapidly, although it faces challenges from increasing competition and supply chain issues.
