The Future Is Plant-Based
Over half (52%) of respondents in a recent survey of American consumers agree that “the future of food is plant-based”—and with good reason. Plant-based menu options appeal to customers looking to lessen their environmental impact, improve their health, and reduce harm to animals. It’s no wonder the global market for plant-based foods is expected to more than double by 2029.
Demand for innovative plant-based options is booming. From 2021 to 2022, the percentage of consumers looking to reduce meat consumption grew from 15% to 21%, and the number of U.S. consumers who follow a plant-based eating pattern increased 12%.
