It wasn’t that long ago that veganism was considered an outlier lifestyle. Consumers had to search for vegan options in their local grocery stores, not always guaranteed to find any. Times have changed. According to Research and Markets, the global plant-based meat product market  is expected to reach a value of $34 billion by 2027.

Veganism is no longer limited to plant-based companies. The vegan market has been circling mainstream for years, but vegan products have recently rushed into that space. Large corporations like Tyson, McDonald’s, Nestlé USA and Yum! Brands are making efforts to offer vegan options to appeal to the surge in plant-based market growth. Even Kentucky Fried Chicken offers customers plant-based chicken nuggets. America’s favorite fried chicken restaurant recently rolled out its vegan option, prominently displayed on menus nationwide alongside familiar chicken selections.

Vegan and non-vegan customers are both interested in new products, and stakeholders have taken notice. Vegan public relations may be exactly what your business needs to fend off companies jumping on the vegan bandwagon so you can keep your product front and center.
