Veganism has been one of the mainstream trends in the food & beverages industry. Increase in incidence of such health disorders, rise in number of health-conscious consumers, increase in disposable income of target customers have been some of the key factors driving the trend of veganism in key regions specifically North America and Europe.

Since most of these products are derived and processed with plant-based sources such as soy, almond, and Quorn. Thus veganism trend drives the vegan food market growth.

Individuals in high-income geographical regions, such as North America and Western Europe, are more prone to diabetes, cancer, and other critical health issues, owing to their unhealthy food and lifestyle habits.
