Focussing on the dynamic £1.8 million Vegetarian & Vegan market with a Flexitarian dimension

The growth of vegetarian & vegan food & drink has been incredible as more and more consumers realise the benefits of following a partial of full meat-free, plant-based lifestyle, with 2% or around 1.3 million people following either a strictly vegetarian or vegan diet. The overall market for meat-free & plant based is now estimated to be worth around £1.8 billion and growing at +18.5% YoY.

By 2025 it is estimated that 1-in-4 of the population will be following a broadly meat-free or plant based diet.*.
