The vegan market has been growing rapidly in recent years, with some estimates suggesting it was worth approximately $12.69 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $20.8 billion by 2026. This growth is driven by increasing awareness of the health and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet, as well as the development of new vegan products and options.
According to recent studies, some of the countries with the highest per capita consumption of vegan meals include:
- Israel
- Germany
- Australia
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Italy
- Switzerland
- Austria
- Sweden
These countries have seen a surge in popularity of plant-based diets due to health, environmental, and ethical concerns, as well as the availability of more vegan options in restaurants and grocery stores.
