Fast Food Market Outlook 2025-2034: Key Trends, Growth Drivers, and Market Share

What industry-specific factors are fueling the growth of the fast food market?
The surge in demand for plant-based proteins has a substantial impact on the growth of the fast-food industry. These proteins, derived from plant sources such as legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and vegetables, are viewed as a viable and sustainable substitute to proteins from animal sources. This growing desire for plant-based proteins is driven by increased consumer understanding of their health advantages, concerns about environmental sustainability, animal welfare ethical matters, and the rising appeal of vegan and flexitarian dietary plans. By introducing plant-based protein options like veggie burgers and nuggets in their menus, fast food outlets are responding to the increasing demand for healthier, non-meat alternatives. As stated by the Good Food Institute, a non-profit organization in the US, in April 2023, global retail sales of plant-based meat and seafood totaled $6.1 billion in 2022, reflecting an 8% revenue growth and a 5% increase in weight. Moreover, the aggregate sales of plant-based milk, cheese, and yogurt stood at $21.6 billion globally, reporting a 7% increase from the prior year. Therefore, the rise in demand for plant-based proteins is propelling the expansion of the fast-food industry.
