Health Benefits of a Plant-based Diet

The National Health Portal India claims a vegan diet offers several health benefits over an omnivorous diet, such as a reduced risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cancer. Some consumers are switching to a vegan diet in light of its perceived health benefits. The rising prevalence of obesity and associated health risks have also seen people turn to a vegan diet.

Veganism — A Lifestyle Choice Not Limited to Just Food

Veganism is not limited to merely edibles, and vegans even seek cosmetics, clothing, and medicines that exclude animal-derived substances in manufacturing. The vegan food market is expected to grow with the rising vegan movement globally, with more and more people switching to this lifestyle.

Changing Consumption Trends
The consumption of vegan food has increased in the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, the U.K., Sweden, Israel, Ireland, Canada, Austria, and Germany over the last couple of years. Thus, these countries register the most significant demand in upcoming years. The meat and animal food products market in Sweden and the U.S. has seen a sudden drop down in consumption in the past few years. India is a prominent country for the vegan food market and pegged as the global leader. A little over one-third of the country’s population is vegetarian for religious or ethical beliefs, and some portion of this population is likely to switch to veganism in the coming years, according to US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health.

Prevalence of Lactose Intolerance to Drive Consumption of Vegan Alternatives for Dairy Products

Over 60% of the global population is lactose intolerant. This population is opting for vegan substitutes for dairy products, and vegan cheeses, yogurts, and ice creams have garnered significant attention among the non-vegan population. Thus, rising consumption among the lactose intolerant is augmenting the vegan food market value.

Pant-Based Cheese

Plant-based cheese captures a prominent share among all-vegan dairy substitutes. The availability of a plethora of options drives the consumption of these products, with a variety of products available for different individual tastes.

Development of Tasty & Healthy Meat Substitutes & Their Increasing Availability in Food Outlets

Tofu, Seiten, Quorn, and TVP are some of the meat substitutes garnering a significant value share, primarily due to their similar taste and healthy ingredients. Several restaurants and food chains are including one or more of these options in their menu selection to cater to the expanding vegan population

Other Market Drivers

Prevalence of Animal-Borne Diseases: The rising number of animal-borne diseases such as Swine Flue and their high incidence has seen an increasing number of people switching to a plant-based diet.

Environmental Concerns: The decomposition of animal bones and skin causes land pollution and, eventually, water pollution in the case of rainwater runoff that merges with the sea. Additionally, improper disposal of animal carcasses leads to the rampant spread of diseases. Most importantly, the meat industry is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. In the industry, agriculture production, land use, and indirect deforestation all contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), swine flu infected nearly 61 million people in the U.S. and amounted to 12,469 fatalities. Worldwide, up to 575,400 people died from pandemic swine flu from 2009 -2010.
