    Description

    Europe's prepared meal manufacturing industry is witnessing significant evolution, driven primarily by shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier, more convenient and sustainable food options. As lives get busier, many Europeans are gravitating towards ready-to-eat meals to save time, without compromising taste or nutritional value. The surge in vegetarian and vegan diets has prompted manufacturers to incorporate more plant-based options to cater to this growing demographic. This changing landscape underscores the industry’s responsiveness to consumer demands, showcasing a blend of innovation and adaptation in meeting the diverse needs of European consumers. Vegan and vegetarian meal options have seen a dramatic surge in popularity across Europe, with countries like Germany reporting a doubling of their vegan population from 2016 to 2020. The UK leads in the consumption of ready meals, highlighting an overarching trend towards convenience that spans across Europe. Furthermore, environmental sustainability has emerged as a pivotal factor influencing consumer choices, encouraging manufacturers to adopt green practices, from sustainable sourcing to eco-friendly packaging. Collectively, these trends point towards a conscious consumer base that values time, health, sustainability and inclusivity in their dietary choices. Nevertheless, the industry has been hampered by massive inflationary pressures, which have caused industry revenue to slump at an estimated compound annual rate of 3.2% over the five years through 2024, reaching €25.8 billion, including a projected 3% slump in 2024 alone. The industry’s outlook is robust, set against a backdrop of growing e-commerce and environmental consciousness. Home-delivered ready-meals are poised for growth, leveraging the power of online shopping to bring convenience and variety right to consumers' doorsteps. Additionally, the push towards sustainability is anticipated to shape the future of meal manufacturing, with companies that prioritise eco-friendly practices expected to gain a competitive edge. As the industry continues to evolve, the focus will likely remain on aligning with consumer values around health, convenience, and sustainability, ensuring that prepared meals not only satisfy hunger but also reflect the conscientious choices of a modern Europe. In all, revenue is set to recover from recent drops, growing at a projected compound annual rate of 3.3% over the five years through 2029.

    Vegan Cosmetics Market Size 2024-2028

    The vegan cosmetics market size is estimated to increase by USD 6.52 billion and grow at a CAGR of 6.78% between 2023 and 2028. The market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing consumer preference for cruelty-free and ethically produced beauty products. This trend is reflected in the strategic acquisitions and investments made by major players in the industry. However, the market also faces challenges, including the potential negative impact on humans and animals from the use of certain synthetic ingredients commonly found in vegan cosmetics. As consumers become more conscious of the ingredients in their beauty products, companies are under pressure to ensure transparency and haircare safety. Instead, they opt for plant-based alternatives such as organic oils and extracts, which offer benefits like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for healthier skin and body care. The market is expected to continue growing as more consumers make the switch to vegan cosmetics, driven by ethical and environmental concerns.

    Market Segmentation

    By Distribution Channel

The offline distribution channel segment comprises speciality stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, clubhouse stores, and others (department stores, salons and spas, and drugstores).

    The offline segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 10.64 billion in 2018 and continued to grow until 2022. Offline shopping formats are highly capable of building trust in the consumers regarding the product by offering product demonstrations. A delay in receiving the shipment by a consumer is a major setback for online companies. For most fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and cosmetics, consumers prefer offline shopping formats. Major retailers are setting up new stores in the local and regional markets. Colors and aesthetics, being the major attributes of cosmetics, are difficult to demonstrate through online sales channels. Cosmetics companies prefer opening brand outlets in major urban areas and offering free samples to potential customers. Consumers tend to purchase new cosmetics at retail stores. Thereafter, if the products are found to be highly satisfactory, they are bought online to avail themselves of promotional discounts. These factors have led to the dominance of the offline sales channel segment in the global vegan cosmetics market. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

    Key Regions

    Europe is estimated to contribute 36% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The UK, Germany, France, and Russia are the leading cosmetics markets in Europe. The UK leads in terms of cruelty-free cosmetics sales in the European market. Cruelty-free cosmetics product launches have doubled in the past year, whereas the vegan population has increased by four times in the country over the last four years. Along with the preference for cruelty-free, significantly higher per capita expenditure on cosmetics (compared to the European average) has driven the demand for vegan cosmetics in the country.

    One of the key requirements for obtaining vegan certification is that cosmetics should not be tested on animals. Europe bans the testing of cosmetics on animals. Thus, various cruelty-free cosmetics have been launched in the region. These cosmetics that comply with regulations and the presence of a large vegan population are likely to rapidly drive the regional cruelty-free cosmetics market during the forecast period. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the European Vegetarian Union (EVU) are two of the prominent organizations operating in Europe that award cruelty-free or vegan certificates to cosmetics and other consumer products. All these factors will drive the regional market during the forecast period.

    Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

    The Market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing consumer awareness and demand for cruelty-free products. As people become more conscious of animal welfare, they seek alternatives to traditional cosmetics containing animal-derived ingredients like milk, fat, and beeswax. Instead, they opt for plant-based alternatives such as organic oils and extracts, which offer benefits like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for healthier skin and body care. This shift is evide
