Plant preference
Plant preference | The future of plant-based foods
The preference for plant-based offerings in the market has led to a fundamental shift in how we eat and drink. FMCG gurus says that “As the state of the environment worsens and becomes even more of a pressing issue, sustainable initiatives, and plant-based food and drink will move beyond a choice and become a necessity.”
Globally 1 in 2 consumers associate plant-based products as being healthy, driving demand across various food and drink categories. Brands are encouraged to balance indulgence and health, meeting consumer expectations for vegan or plant-based options without compromising on taste, texture and pleasure.
