Plant Based Food Market Size, 2024 To 2035 (USD Billion)

Another growth-inducing component is the introduction of novel products like plant-based milk, eggs, and meat. These goods are high in critical nutrients and taste almost identical to those derived from animals. Other factors, such as extensive promotional activities by celebrities and athletes to encourage the consumption of vegetarian products in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and the easy availability of products through a growing number of online retail channels, are expected to fuel the market even more.
