Total market size is expected to reach US$ 35.9 billion by 2033. Sales of plant-based foods are projected to escalate at a CAGR of 12.2% over the forecast period (2023 to 2033).
Rising trend of veganism and flexitarians worldwide is providing a strong impetus to the growth of plant-based food industry. Plant-based food refers to a broad range of food items created from organic plant-based materials. These foods are often made from vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, legumes, and other plant components.
Plant-based foods don’t contain any animal products or those produced from animals, such as milk, meat, or eggs. Almond milk, tofu, tempeh, coconut milk, and seitan are a few of the most popular plant-based foods.
Over the years, there has been a sharp rise in the population of vegans due to growing awareness about the benefits of eating plant-based foods. People are showing an inclination towards consuming plant-based foods to protect the environment, reduce animal cruelty, and minimize the risk of disease acquisition. This has boosted plant-based food sales.
Plant-based diets have been discovered to have additional health benefits, such as a lower risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease. Hence, more and more people are opting for plant-based foods.
Thanks to the acceptance of digitization by the global economy, a variety of businesses have experienced tremendous expansion in recent years. Several plant-based food companies choose online channels for their product promotion and sales due to increased internet usage among consumers and the convenience of online transactions.
Similarly, numerous customers prefer to make purchases via online retailers, which motivates companies to maintain an online presence. Recently, more sites have also appeared, including specialty shops and food delivery services. This is significantly expanding the global plant-based food market.
