Global Vegan Snacks Market- Market Overview:

The Global Vegan Snacks market is expected to grow from USD 47.2 billion in 2021 to USD 82.3 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.2% during the Projection period 2022-2029. The growth of this market is mainly driven owing to the increasing shift toward a healthy lifestyle.

A vegetarian and a vegan are not the same. Vegetarians abstain from consuming animal products like meat, poultry, or fish. Vegans are more stringent vegetarians who additionally abstain from eating dairy, eggs, and any other products with animal byproducts. The strictest type of vegetarianism might be characterized as a vegan diet. The Vegan Society now describes veganism as a way of life that makes every effort to avoid animal exploitation and cruelty. This includes being exploited for food or any other reason. Therefore, a vegan diet forgoes not only eating animal meat but also products like dairy, eggs, and eggs. According to projections, the market will experience significant development because of the rising trend of veganism among athletes and celebrities worldwide. Many organizations asserted that the number of vegans had increased globally. For instance, a survey by the Vegan Society and Vegan Life magazine found that the vegan population in the U.K. had increased by almost 360%. According to poll results, there are now about 850,000 vegans in Canada, a 250% rise from the previous year.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:                          

• Growing Health Awareness

Growing consumer awareness of health and wellness is driving market expansion for vegan snacks. The modernization and urbanization of society have increased consumer knowledge. They are adjusting their preferences toward healthy diets to combat the widespread health concerns. Vegan snacks are healthy, light, immune system-boosting, and low in sugar and cholesterol. This makes it a better option for those who care about their health. Public awareness of animal rights is crucial in their transition to vegan products.

Restraints:                                             

• Availability of Substitutes & High Processing Cost

Throughout the Projection period, the expansion of the industry is anticipated to be constrained by the availability of numerous vegan snack replacements. Vegan snacks would have difficulty competing with other readily accessible vegetarian snacks due to their price advantage. Besides those on a tight diet, surveys indicate that consumers are hesitant to spend extra money on snacks. Additionally, vegan snacks are more expensive than conventional snacks due to high processing costs, limiting this sector's expansion. For example, plant-based meat substitutes cost four times as much as traditional chicken, three times as much as conventional hog, and twice as much as conventional beef. This price disparity will discourage most consumers from switching to plant-based meat substitutes.

Opportunities:

• Growing Trend of Veganism

Huge plant-based or vegan snack sales are anticipated to be boosted by rising veganism and the demand for packaged snack foods. As vegan consumers spread globally, the need for vegan snacks is rising. Manufacturers are attempting to produce a variety of plant-based snacks, such as processed snacking meals and snacks that substitute meat, to suit the needs of consumers who are vegan. Numerous chances for manufacturers may arise due to this expanding veganism trend. Vegan snacks are few compared to traditional snacks, although the food and beverage business embraces a wide variety of goods. As a result, there is the unrealized growth potential for various vegan snacks.

Challenges                                     

• Shift to a vegan diet from vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets

People are apprehensive about switching to a vegan diet. According to the results of the NFHS-5 study, 16.6% of men between the ages of 15 and 49 had never eaten any non-vegetarian food, which was defined as "fish, poultry, or meat" in the survey. Thus, a staggering 83.4% of males and 70.6% of women in the 15-to-49 age range consume non-vegetarian cuisine daily, weekly, or irregularly.

Segmentation Analysis:

The global Vegan Snacks market has been segmented based on product type, distribution channel, and regions.

By Product Type                                                                             

The product segment includes nuts & seeds, bakery, savory, confectionery, and others. The savory segment led the largest share of the vegan snacks market, with a market share of around 23.3% in 2021. In industrialized economies like the US, the UK, and others, there is a considerable demand for plant-based savory snacks among the working-class and college-going population. Additionally, savory snack foods let people satisfy their appetites while preventing overeating. Manufacturers are releasing a range of nutritious vegan savory snack products, including crackers, baked chips, and others. As a result, the availability of various flavorful and healthful items also helped explain why this segment had the biggest share.

By Distribution Channel                                                              

The distribution channel segment includes offline and online. The offline segment led the Vegan Snacks market with a market share of around 63.08% in 2021. The offline distribution channel segment includes convenience stores, specialty shops, hypermarkets, and supermarkets. The overall sales of vegan snacks have surged due to notable growth in the number of supermarkets and hypermarkets. Consumers prefer to buy groceries from brick-and-mortar stores because they are more readily available and easy to obtain. Additionally, offline retailers promote category growth by providing various options and the ability to scan product specifications before any transaction.

The overall retail sales of plant-based foods in the United States climbed by 6.2% to reach about 7.4 billion in 2021, according to the Plant-based Foods Association and The Good Food Institute, based on SPINS data. The strong consumer tendency toward obtaining foods that taste wonderful and bring about health advantages was a major factor in expanding plant-based food sales in the U.S.
• Asia-Pacific is anticipated to experience significant growth during the predicted period. The industry is primarily driven by the growing understanding of the advantages of vegan diets for health. In important nations like India and China, the demand for plant-based foods is expanding due to the rising concern over animal cruelty. Additionally, the large expansion of the snack business in these nations offers the market profitable expansion prospects.

Political Factors- Every component of the food sector is subject to extensive regulatory frameworks from governments worldwide. This encompasses the criteria for produce storage and transportation, commercial kitchen cleanliness, and even the qualifications for workers in the food industry. This unquestionably makes the food industry one of the most strictly regulated industries. On the good side, this prevents customers from receiving low-quality nourishment, but the complexity of regulation undoubtedly reduces the margins of the food industry.

Economical Factors- The population of the world is rising continuously in income. As a result, people from all social levels, including the lower, middle, and upper classes, have more money to spend on luxuries like dining out. As a result of people cooking less and eating out more frequently, the food industry's overall revenue is increasing. This benefits everyone in the area, including restaurant owners, food wholesalers, and the specific employees that work for these establishments. All industries are experiencing an overall rise in the cost of acquiring personnel. In addition to an increase in the need for workers, this is brought on by rising government expectations for minimum salaries. The result of rising labor expenses, like in many other sectors, is straightforward: less profit for the company's owner.

Social Factor- Scientists now have a greater understanding than ever before of how food affects our bodies. Consumers know that there is a direct link between our food and our health. Many people are searching for better ways to feed their bodies as a result. This doesn't necessarily have a good or bad impact on the food industry, but it does mean that companies will need to change to remain competitive. For instance, fast food outlets would probably need to switch from serving typical, high-calorie fried dishes to healthier options like salads.

Technological Factors- In the food business, several forms of automation are becoming more prevalent. The use of self-checkout screens at fast food restaurants like McDonald's is maybe the clearest example, but it's not the only one! Recent viral videos of a hotel's robot making omelets sent social media platforms into a frenzy. Laborers won't be as necessary as technology, particularly robots, are used more and more in the food business. Overall, this is favorable for the sector.

Environmental Factors- A growing number of people are becoming aware of how our dietary choices affect our health and the environment. Meat is one food category that poses special environmental challenges. Massive volumes of water are used in meat production, especially red meats, and a sizable carbon footprint is left behind. No less, to make room for farms, the meat business is clearing a huge area of woodland. As a result, many people are adopting plant-based diets, and governments are gradually becoming more interested in this trend. Again, this doesn't necessarily mean ill for the food industry, but they will need to consider the long-term effects of this change.

Legal Factors- The food business has strict regulations on safety issues, as was mentioned in the Political section of this PESTLE research. Every nation has several regulations on how food should be handled, prepared, and kept. These regulations include information on the maximum temperatures certain food types may withstand and instructions on how to clean them. Although this is primarily a political issue, it becomes a legal matter if any of these rules are ever broken. As a result, to avoid expensive litigation, those in the food industry must exercise considerable caution to ensure they adhere to these regulations.
