Sales of vegan foods and beverages have gone up significantly owing to increased health awareness among consumers, especially in terms of effects from the consumption of animal-based products. The broader gains in the plant-based food category have rubbed off on varied categories, with plant-based butter sales gaining significant traction. The growing popularity of plant-based butter has led to specialty brands experimenting with new flavors and sources. A new study by Future Market Insights concurs with positive consumer sentiment on plant-based butter, estimating market to grow nearly 7% y-o-y in 2021.
As per the Food Industry Association, around 30% of households are home to vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, or pescatarian consumers. This trend is creating opportunities for growth for plant-based butter manufacturers.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis
The covid-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial changes in the dietary preferences of consumers around the world. Concerns over transmission of the virus through animal based products has aided the adoption of plant-based alternatives.
