Packaged Food Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Packaged Food Market according to our research experts:

Plant-based Packaged Food are Witnessing Immense Growth

Globally, the demand for plant-based food has intensified, supported by rising vegan or vegetarian population across the globe. According to the Vegan Society, the number of consumers identifying themselves as vegans in the Great Britain rose sharply from 150 thousand in 2014 to 600 thousand in 2018. An approximate 13% of millennials are vegetarians and 4% are vegans who avoid dairy products, thus, resulting in the increased demand for the most suitable alternatives, like soy and almond based products. Further the rising trend of health and sustainability among the well-aware consumers is also driving the market. Globally, the consumers are becoming more aware about the food source and sustainability, and thus, becoming more selective about the source of protein they consume, which, in turn, increases the demand for plant-based food and beverages. The intake of animal protein, which is associated with high cholesterol level, fat, and calories, increases the risk of cardiac diseases, high blood sugar level, and obesity. Hence, people are showing an inclination toward vegan sources of protein. Additionally, owing to the allergies caused by animal-based products, the percentage of consumers looking for alternatives have also increased. This has created a good platform for the growth of plant-based products. The production of plant proteins is considered more environmentally economic than animal proteins. Moreover, plant-based products exhibit beneficial properties, in terms of weight management, heart health, and biological availability. Subsequently, there is a great potential for the plant-based food and beverages market, as consumers are showing an inclination toward healthy food eating habits.
