More than 71% of Americans Are Now Eating Plant Based Foods

January 18, 2022 - Baystreet.ca


The plant based story shows no signs of cooling off. In fact, it’s only growing stronger. According to AdWeek, “71% of U.S. adults reported trying at least one plant-based product in 2021, according to Datassential, and 48% look for products labeled ‘plant based,’ per the Hartman Group, while 67% have tried non-dairy milk, says Morning Consult.” Better, plant based sales momentum is only expected to flourish in New Year 2022, as well. For example, “Sales of faux meat and poultry are projected to reach $2 billion by 2024, says a study from Packaged Fact, and the more-established alternative dairy category is pegged to top $5.2 billion in the next two years,” as also noted by AdWeek. All could be substantial news for companies such as Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM)(OTCQB:KOMOF), Freshlocal Solutions Inc. (TSX:LOCL)(OTC:FLOCF), Goodfood Market Corp. (TSX:FOOD)(OTC:GDDFF), Nepra Foods Inc. (CSE:NPRA)(OTC:NPRFF), and Beyond Meat Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND).
