According to Nielsen1, 6% of Americans follow a strictly vegetarian diet and 3% follow a strictly vegan lifestyle; yet in 2017, 19.5% of food and beverage retail dollars came from plant-based products. This is because more consumers in general are looking to reduce their meat consumption—39% in 2017, to be exact, based on a recent Nielsen Homescan survey1. Growing health and environmental consciousness among consumers has driven interest in plant-based products and encouraged innovation within the category.
