While there were only 113 purely vegan restaurants in 2014, a total of 393 vegan restaurants were counted in 2024. The growing demand for animal alternatives can also be observed in the production volume of vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes in Germany.

    Introduction

    Vegan Statistics: Veganism is a lifestyle that excludes all animal-derived products, including food and clothing, emphasizing a plant-based diet. Nutritionally, vegan diets are typically higher in dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, and phytochemicals, while being lower in calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and vitamin Bâ‚ â‚‚. For instance, vegans often consume approximately 21 grams of saturated fat daily, compared to 54 grams in omnivores. Additionally, vegans tend to have about double the dietary fiber intake compared to omnivores.

    However, due to the exclusion of animal products, vegans may need to pay special attention to certain nutrients, such as vitamin B₠₂, which is not readily available in plant foods and often requires supplementation. Let’s understand these recent Vegan Statistics, which will shed light on the development in the market.

    Vegan Food Market Size 2024-2028

    The vegan food market size is forecast to increase by USD 29.93 billion at a CAGR of 15.2% between 2023 and 2028.

    The market is experiencing significant growth driven by the increasing number of consumers adopting veganism as a lifestyle choice. This trend is being fueled by rising health consciousness, ethical concerns, and environmental sustainability concerns. According to recent studies, the global vegan population is projected to reach 70 million by 2027, presenting a substantial market opportunity for food companies. However, the market is not without challenges. One of the key challenges is the lack of standardization guidelines for vegan food products. This can make it difficult for consumers to trust the authenticity of vegan claims and for companies to ensure consistency in their product offerings. Additionally, the rapid pace of new product launches in the market can make it challenging for companies to differentiate themselves and maintain market share. To capitalize on this market opportunity, companies must focus on transparency, innovation, and consistency in their product offerings while navigating the complex regulatory landscape. By staying abreast of consumer trends and adapting to changing market dynamics, companies can effectively position themselves to meet the growing demand for vegan food options.

    What will be the Size of the Vegan Food Market during the forecast period?

Plant-based dairy alternatives, including vegan cheese, milk, and other alternative dairy products, are also gaining popularity, driven by lactose intolerance, lactose malabsorption, and cardiovascular disease concerns. The vegan meal sales market is expanding as well, with food chains and delivery services offering more vegan options to cater to the growing demand.

    By Distribution Channel Insights

    The offline segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.The market encompasses the sales of plant-based sources, such as plant-based milk, meat substitutes, and cheese, among others. Consumer preferences for sustainable diets, ethical consumption, and health concerns, including lactose intolerance and obesity rates, have fueled the demand for vegan food products. According to the Food Intolerance Network, lactose malabsorption affects approximately 65% of the global population, driving the growth of dairy alternatives. Manufacturers of vegan food offer their products through various channels, including grocery platforms, vegan restaurants, and online distribution channels. While the offline distribution channel, which includes sales through hypermarkets, supermarkets, and independent retailers, generates significant revenue, its market share has been declining due to the increasing trend of online shopping. Retailers are adapting to this shift by introducing new strategies, such as better pricing and wider assortments, to remain competitive. Vegan meal sales have also seen a rise, with an increasing number of consumers adopting a flexitarian diet, which involves reducing meat consumption but not eliminating it entirely. Product innovation, including sustainable packaging and alternative proteins, is a key driver in the market. Companies such as Daiya Foods, Treeline Cheese, and Harvest Gourmet offer a range of plant-based food products with nutritious content and health benefits. Environmental concerns and animal health are also significant factors influencing consumer behavior towards vegan food. The market for vegan food products is expected to continue growing as consumers become more health-conscious and aware of the health implications of their food choices.

    In 2024, the number of vegans was estimated to be 2.5m. Based on survey results, another two million intend to follow the diet in the future. A combined 6.1 million more are going meatless and either follow a vegetarian or a pescetarian diet. How many vegans are there really? Due to the small share of vegans in a population, it is often difficult to get a reliable estimate of how many vegans can be found in any given population. Often the margin of error in a survey is larger than the share of vegans found. In the United States, for example, depending on the survey, you can find survey results ranging from one to four percent of the population. Across Europe, the overwhelming majority of countries have three percent or less of their population following a vegan diet. Healthy eating & Veganism In the United Kingdom, consumers cite health reasons among the top factors that might encourage them to adapt a vegan or vegetarian diet. Almost a quarter of women named health reasons, while 19 percent of their male counterparts had a similar standpoint. For men, this made it the leading reason, while women named animal welfare as high as health. Consumers in the United States who have already adopted a vegan or vegetarian diet also frequently named the desire to eat healthier as one of the reasons they adopted their current diet. Two in five vegans and vegetarians in the U.S. named healthier eating, only animal welfare ranked slightly higher.

    Market Dynamics of the Vegan Fast-Food Market

    Key Drivers of the Vegan Fast-Food Market

    The market for vegan fast food is driven by a shift in customer preferences for vegan food items and health consciousness.
    

    The food industry is changing these days since more and more people are choosing plant-based foods and becoming vegans. The practice of becoming a vegan, or avoiding animal products in one's diet, has become more and more well-known in recent years. Globally, the popularity of vegan diets is mostly being driven by rising public awareness of issues related to animal welfare, the environment, and health. For Instance, In 2022, over 700,000 people from nearly every nation in the world signed up for the Veganuary campaign, which encourages people to eat vegan for the entire month of January. This campaign had record-breaking sign-ups. By contrast, the number of participants was 692,000 in 2022, 582,000 in 2021, and 400,000 in 2020. (Source: https://www.vegansociety.com/news/media/statistics/worldwide) This tells us that more and more people are changing their preferences day by day In place of conventional animal-based food, people are searching for more sustainable, ethical, and healthful options. People's preferences for vegan diets have shifted dramatically as a result of growing awareness of the detrimental effects of animal agriculture, such as water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation. Furthermore, More and more customers are looking for better food options as their concerns about conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity grow. Health-conscious people are drawn to vegan fast food since it is often thought to be healthier than non-vegan options because it doesn’t contain animal ingredients and has fewer saturated fats and cholesterol. Hence, as people want to consume food items that are easily available and easy to eat. Vegan consumers opt for vegan fast food. There is presently a lot variety of plant-based junk food options available on grocery shelves and in burger restaurants, ranging from sausage rolls to chicken nuggets that people want. For instance, McDonald's introduced McPlant which is a plant-based burger. On a toasted sesame seed bun, it's sizzled on a flat iron grill and topped with crisp shredded lettuce, snappy pickles, crisp Roma tomato slices, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and a slice of melty American cheese.(Source: https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/mcplant.html) Hence, as more people are turning vegan, the demand for vegan fast food market is increasing.

    An increase in awareness and understanding among people about animal husbandry is driving the growth of the vegan fast-food market.
    

    Deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions are all significantly influenced by animal agriculture. As more people become aware of the catastrophic effects that animal agriculture has on the environment, they are cutting back on or giving up the consumption of animal products. One approach to lessen one's environmental effects and make a positive difference in the world is through veganism. Refusing to purchase animal products lowers the market for them, resulting in fewer animals being bred to suffer and perish on farms. For Instance, There are 205 million chickens counted every day, which is a huge...

    Restraint Factor for the Vegan Food Market

    Higher cost of vegan products compared to non-vegan alternatives hindered the market growth

    Description

    The global vegan diet market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing health consciousness, environmental concerns, and ethical considerations regarding animal welfare. The rising popularity of plant-based alternatives to meat, dairy, and other animal products is a significant factor fueling this expansion. Consumers are increasingly seeking out nutritious and sustainable food options, leading to a surge in demand for vegan foods across various product categories, including plant-based proteins, dairy alternatives (like almond milk and soy yogurt), and meat substitutes (such as veggie burgers and plant-based sausages). This trend is further amplified by the growing awareness of the environmental impact of animal agriculture and the desire to reduce one's carbon footprint. While specific market size data is absent, based on industry reports indicating significant growth in related sectors like plant-based foods and the expanding vegan population, a reasonable estimate for the 2025 market size could be $40 billion USD. Assuming a conservative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15% (reflective of similar high-growth markets), the market is projected to reach approximately $110 billion USD by 2033. Several factors contribute to this positive growth trajectory. The continuous innovation and improvement in the taste, texture, and nutritional profiles of vegan products are crucial. Major food companies are actively investing in research and development, leading to more appealing and accessible vegan options. Increased availability in supermarkets and online platforms has expanded market reach, making vegan products more convenient for consumers. Furthermore, government initiatives promoting sustainable and plant-based diets, coupled with increasing awareness campaigns by NGOs and influencers, contribute to market expansion. However, challenges remain, including consumer perceptions regarding taste and cost, as well as regional variations in acceptance and product availability. The need to address these challenges will be critical for sustained growth and broader market penetration.

    Description

    More and more consumers are adopting vegetarian and vegan diets in the United States. Where only 2.5 percent of Americans over the age of 50 consider themselves vegetarian, 7.5 percent of Millennials and Gen Z have given up meat. The same goes for veganism, where the younger generations have taken on the diet at nearly double the rate of older Americans.

    Plant-based diets

    A vegetarian diet is one which excludes the consumption of meat and in some cases animal-derived foods such as eggs and milk. A vegan diet is characterized by abstaining from the consumption of all animal products, which can extend to products like honey as well. People who adopt these diets do so for either ethical, dietary, environmental concerns, or a combination of all three. While there are health benefits attributed to these diets, primarily a lower incidence of heart disease, they must be carefully constructed in order to receive the nutrients that are normally ingested from animal products. A recent survey of Millennial American consumers showed that the purported health benefits of a meat-free diet was the main reason for adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet.

    Plant-based food sales

    Sales of plant-based foods experienced rapid growth in 2018. Compared to the previous year, plant-based meals sales grew by 28 percent and meat alternatives by 24 percent. The sales values of these categories were worth 210 million and 670 million dollars respectively. Milk alternatives are still the highest selling segment of plant-based foods, valued at 1.6 billion dollars in 2018.

    The global vegan meal delivery service market is experiencing robust growth, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.3% from 2019 to 2033. In 2025, the market size reached $1103 million. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. The rising popularity of veganism and plant-based diets, driven by health consciousness, environmental concerns, and ethical considerations, forms a significant driver. Convenience is another major factor, as busy lifestyles and the desire for healthy, pre-prepared meals are increasing demand for these services. Furthermore, the market benefits from continuous innovation in meal variety, customization options, and sustainable packaging solutions. The segment breakdown reveals a dynamic landscape, with both single-serving and multiple-serving options catering to individual and family needs, respectively. The strong presence of numerous established players, alongside emerging niche providers, indicates a highly competitive yet rapidly evolving marketplace. The market's geographic distribution shows significant strength in North America and Europe, driven by higher adoption rates of veganism and readily available infrastructure for meal delivery. However, growth potential remains high in Asia-Pacific and other emerging markets as awareness of plant-based diets increases. Looking forward to 2033, the market is projected to continue its upward trajectory, spurred by technological advancements such as improved meal preservation and personalized dietary recommendations. Increased consumer spending on health and wellness further supports the market's growth potential. However, challenges such as maintaining cost-effectiveness, managing supply chain complexities, and meeting evolving consumer demands represent potential headwinds. The success of individual companies within this sector will depend on their capacity for innovation, effective marketing strategies focused on health, convenience, and sustainability, and the ability to consistently deliver high-quality products that align with the growing demands of the ever-evolving vegan consumer base.

Description

In 2024, around four percent of responding German consumers between 18 and 64 years of age followed a vegan diet. In Brazil, China, Mexico, and the U.S., between two and four percent of respondents ate vegan diets. The noteworthy standout is India, where about a tenth of respondents said they typically follow a vegan diet. The survey was carried out in four quarterly waves among online users. Veganism in the European Union The share of adults following a vegan diet in the European Union (EU) varies considerably among the different generations. According to a recent survey, Gen Z had the highest share of vegans in the EU, with approximately four percent. In comparison, among Generation X and the Baby Boomers, the share of vegans was only one percent. In general, the share of vegans in the EU tends to be higher among younger generations. The number of vegans in the EU is forecast to grow from about 6.6 million in 2023 to almost 8.3 million by 2033. Veganism in Germany Germany has a particularly high share of young adults who are vegan or vegetarian, as compared to other European countries. Approximately six and eleven percent of young adults in Germany classify themselves as vegan or vegetarian, respectively. Moreover, being vegan in Germany has become considerably easier over the years. The number of vegan restaurants in Germany has almost quadrupled throughout the last decade, adjusting to the growing demand for alternatives to animal products. While there were only 113 purely vegan restaurants in 2014, a total of 393 vegan restaurants were counted in 2024. The growing demand for animal alternatives can also be observed in the production volume of vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes in Germany. The volume of vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes produced has grown from approximately 60,000 tons in 2019 to about 121,600 tons in 2023.
