The vegan population has grown significantly over the past few years. According to Veganuary (a non-profit organization that encourages individuals to go vegan for the entire month of January), in 2022, more than 620,000 people registered for the Veganuary campaign, and the registrations increased by 200% in the last 3 years. People are increasingly switching to a vegan diet due to the rise in health and sustainability concerns. The livestock industry is one of the significant contributors to the total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The dairy sector is responsible for 30% of the total livestock emissions. Many studies have shown that shifting to a vegan diet can significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions.
Moreover, many organizations believe that veganism can help save the planet from the climate crisis. The awareness regarding the harmful effects of the livestock industry on the environment is increasing among consumers. The consumption of plant-based dairy products helps minimize carbon footprints, save water and other natural resources, and reduce the overall environmental impacts. Therefore, consumers are rapidly switching to plant-based dairy and meat products. This factor is significantly driving the dairy alternatives market.
Further, consumers are highly inclined toward plant-based or vegan-friendly products due to increased health concerns and increased awareness of animal welfare. The rising health consciousness among people due to the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other diseases is compelling people to change their dietary habits. People generally perceive plant-based products to be healthier than conventional ones. Thus, health-conscious consumers rapidly substitute traditional, animal-based products with plant-based food. This factor is significantly boosting the dairy alternatives market.
Vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the Europe dairy alternatives market at a promising CAGR during the forecast period.
