In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards vegetarianism and veganism across the globe due to increasing awareness about health, concern for the environment, and compassion for animals. A 2018 Oxford University study –the most comprehensive analysis of the damage farming does to the planet – found that avoiding meat and dairy is the single biggest way to reduce the impact on the planet. It suggested that animal farming provides just 18% of calories but up to 83% of the earth’s farmland. Some of the detailed statistics on the vegetarian and vegan population across the globe are as follows:
According to Plant Protein’s sources, 6% of U.S. consumers were vegan in 2021, a six-times increase compared to 1% in 2014.
Plant-based food has started to capture some serious attention from these consumers. In Europe, in 2020, 40% of millennials were identified as vegan, and Baby Boomers & Generation X accounted for 21% each, with only 2% of seniors labeling themselves vegan (Source: The Vegan Society). The vegetarian population focuses on consuming products containing ingredients or components derived from plant sources. Hence, plant-based products have started to capture the attention of these vegetarian or vegan consumers. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful and nutritionally adequate as they reduce the risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. These diets are appropriate for all life cycle stages, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and athletes. Thus, the increasing number of vegan and vegetarian populations is strongly driving the growth of the global plant-based butter market.
