The Rise of Plant-Based Protein

Plant-Based Protein

Protein! You hear about it and see it marketed everywhere. This word no longer only pertains to animal-based products. The Plant-Based Protein revolution is here.

According to a study by Meticulous Research, the global Plant-Based Protein market is set to reach $10 BILLION by the year 2020.

The rise is said to be caused by the increase in consumer demand and desire for an overall healthier and cleaner way of eating and living.

Currently, soy products hold the largest share of the growing market but other meat alternatives like beans, peas, and lentils are also getting attention with the ongoing production of new meat-free food items. 

The report also cites the US as the largest country in demand for plant-based protein followed by Europe and Asia (which are predicted to see exponential growth within the next five years).

The rise and popularity of veganism are no longer being seen as just a trend but instead, as a long-term shift that will greatly influence the market as a whole, and big corporations are taking notice.

Businesses that produce vegan products are being bought out by larger corporations as we speak (most recently Garden of Life). With the current trend, where do you see the market going and what will it mean for animal agriculture?

I began my vegan journey after becoming pregnant. I initially did it for my/our health but quickly learned about the horrible treatment of animals that goes on and it turned into a bigger thing than myself. I currently live in the Chicago suburbs with my husband, son and shelter pup (she’s 11 but will always be a puppy in my eyes). I went to school for communications but pursued a career in early childhood education and was a preschool teacher for almost a decade. I owe my insight in child development to my hands on experience in the field and hope to utilize it to further the progress of future vegan generations. I am beyond grateful to have found Vegan Pregnancy and Parenting and Raise Vegan, not only for the platform that it has provided me to further the awareness of vegan family resources but for what I have personally gained from it by being a member and from knowing these wonderful women. I look forward to all the amazing things to come as we help pave the way and provide a haven of love and support for vegan families.
