The factors responsible for the increased consumption of plant-based diets include the rising concerns about health, and also the increased concerns about the environment, decrease in the cost of plant-based foods, and technological developments. Shifting trend towards veganism, growing number of individuals with lactose intolerance, and benefits associated with plant-based diets are primarily driving the industry growth as is the availability of sustainable products and recyclable packaging, along with introduction of innovative products are generating lucrative prospects for the business scenario.   According to a report from Market Study Report the global plant-based food and beverage market size was valued at $42.186 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach $81.538 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.71% during the forecast period.

The Fortune article continued saying: “Demand is increasing as companies like Beyond Meat Inc., Impossible Foods Inc. and Oatly Inc. bring alternative protein products to more restaurants and grocery stores. Legacy food companies like Tyson Foods, Kellogg Co. and Nestle SA are also competing in the space with their own plant-based burgers and milks. They’re using their scale to drive distribution and working with retailers on promotions and marketing.  Meat and dairy substitutes are marketed as healthier and more sustainable than the products from animals that they aim to replace. They’re getting popular just as consumers become more conscious of the environmental footprint of food and aim for healthier eating. Asia will also be a significant driver of plant-based protein sales because it’s vulnerable to limited food supplies, the report said.  Alternative dairy alone could double by 2030, according to the report, buoyed by the popularity of oat milk and growth in ice cream, cheese and butter alternatives.”
