What is Vegan?
Veganism is a social justice movement that is striving to bring about a world where animals are not exploited for food, clothing, entertainment, or any other purpose.
While concern for animals is the foundation of veganism, there are many other benefits. Plant-based agriculture is a more efficient use of the world's scarce resources and can feed more people. It is better for the environment. And a vegan diet is good for our health.
While the term vegan is used to connote blandness and tasteless in some circles, that’s no longer the case. In fact, vegan products are now big businesses, as consumers embrace the health, moral and environmental benefits of reducing or eliminating meat and animal products from their diet and consider the supply chain of products they buy and consume.
The Vegan Food market size was valued at $14.2 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $31.4 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 10.5% from 2019 to 2026.
The global vegan food market size is segmented on the basis of product type, distribution channel, and region. By product type, the market is classified into meat substitutes, dairy alternatives, and others. By distribution channel, the Vegan Food market is bifurcated into online and offline. By region, the vegan food market is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, Spain, UK, Italy, France, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and rest of LAMEA).
