Unlock the power of alternative protein ingredients

Certified, clean, and crafted for superior performance in every product!

The plant-based food market in Europe has surged to a remarkable €6.5 billion in 2024, growing by 40% since 2020. In North America, plant-based food sales reached $4.5 billion in 2025, with plant-based dairy leading the way, accounting for over two-thirds of total sales. 

This booming market presents both challenges and opportunities for food producers.

Meeting Consumer demand for alternative protein solutions

According to Innova Trends Survey 2022, the key drivers for consumers choosing plant-based options include:

Healthier choices (51% of consumers)
Sustainability (40% consider it’s better for the planet)
Dietary variety (32% want more variety in their diet)

What drives consumers to choose plant-based options ?

Additionally, the Euromonitor Health and Nutrition Survey 2020 indicates that flexitarians—who occasionally consume meat or fish along with plant-based foods—represent 42% of the population, far outnumbering vegans (4%) and vegetarians (6%).

Despite this growing interest, plant-based foods need to achieve better texture and taste, as well as competitive pricing compared to conventional foods to gain mainstream acceptance.

By offering food products that are tasty, nutritious, minimally processed, indulgent, and sustainable, plant-based options can win the trust and ongoing loyalty of these consumers.
