The UK is the largest consumer and purchaser of plant-based milk, meat, cheese and ready meals in Europe. In fact, 25% of evening meals in the UK are now vegan or vegetarian, and one in three people in the UK have reduced or completely stopped their meat consumption, according to The Vegan Society.
Takeaways are following suit too: in 2020, Deliveroo reported a 115% increase in demand for plant-based meals.
Now, we’ve all heard of vegan ‘meat’, cheese and even eggs, but what’s on the horizon for plant-based food in 2021? Louise Palmer-Masterton, founder of award-winning vegan restaurant chain Stem & Glory, has given us her predictions for the biggest vegan trends in 2021.
Vegan seafood
Vegan seafood has become a fast-moving trend all over the world, and it seems to be following a similar trajectory to vegan 'meat' in that seafood comfort food – like deep fried vegan scampi, deep fried vegan prawns, vegan fish burgers and vegan fish goujons – has been popular for a while. But we are now also starting to see better quality attempts at vegan seafood, with greater attention to health and natural ingredients.
Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni from Vegan Capital is one of the best-known and most active investors in the plant-based space. Vegan Capital is an early investor in seafood company Good Catch and Sebastiano has observed rapid growth in this area. Sebastiano also notes that some companies that are still involved in animal seafood are now venturing into plant-based products as well. Nestlé, for example, recently released the first plant-based tuna in Switzerland.
