The plant based food story is sprouting – and fast. In fact, it’s only set to grow, with some analysts saying plant based food sales could increase five-fold by 2030, says Fortune. “Sales of plant-based dairy and meat alternatives reached $29.4 billion in 2020, and could increase to $162 billion by 2030, comprising 7.7% of the global protein market,” they noted. Helping, “Consumer demand for plant-based options has been growing steadily, and quick-service restaurants are doing their part to meet the demand with alternative burgers and chicken. Technomic Ignite menu data predicts that plant-based proteins will grow nearly 35% on menus by the end of 2022,” as noted by Restaurant Business Online. That’s a strong catalyst for companies such as Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM)(OTCQB:KOMOF), Sol Cuisine Ltd. (TSXV:VEG), Blender Bites Ltd. (CSE:BITE), Nabati Foods Global Inc. (CSE:MEAL), and Very Good Food Company Inc. (CSE:VERY)(OTC:VRYYF).
