Plant Based

Make a difference for the people’s and planet’s health

“1 in 3 consumers buys plant-based foods on a weekly basis.” – Taste Tomorrow

What began as a grassroots movement against animal cruelty has evolved into a food revolution. This shift is not just about avoiding animal products but embracing diverse food choices and recognizing their environmental impact. Consumers now search for options that are both good for them and for the planet, changing their preference to plant-based alternatives.

Research indicates that plant-based foods generally contain fewer calories, less saturated fat, and lower cholesterol, while being higher in fiber compared to their animal-based counterparts1-6. Therefore, consuming plant-based alternatives is a healthy step towards a balanced, diverse diet.

The rise of plant-based foods

According to Innova Market Insights, the plant-based segment is one of the fastest-growing in the food industry, with recent statistics to back it up:

  • Pastries and sweet goods product launches grew by 61% year on year.
  • Baking ingredients and mixes increased by 60%.
  • Cookies and biscuits were up by 43%.
