The plant based food story shows no signs of slowing. Instead, 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. In addition, we’re also seeing big demand for vegan cheese in a potential $155.5 billion market, as noted by Fortune Business Insights. They also note, “With consumer food preferences steadily shifting towards vegan food products, several vegan cheese brands are gaining traction in this industry.” With the plant based trend sprouting, some of the top companies to keep an eye on are Feel Foods Ltd. (CSE:FEEL)(OTC:FLLLF), Very Good Food Company Inc. (CSE:VERY)(OTC:VRYYF), Nabati Foods Global Inc. (CSE:MEAL), Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM) (OTC:KOMOF) (FSE:9HB), and Billy Goat Brands Ltd. (CSE:GOAT).
In addition, according to Allied Market Research, “Increase in obesity rates all over the world, growth in health problems such as heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, and others, have uplifted the overall health consciousness among consumers. This has resulted in increase in demand for different types of healthy food products including vegan food products. Moreover, over the past couple of years, there has been a surge in number of vegan population around the globe specifically in developed regions such as North America and Europe.”
