10 Tasty Wholesale Plant-Based Snacks to Satisfy Every Palate
With more consumers ever wanting to cut their meat intake or cut it out altogether by opting for plant-based diets, the competition among retailers selling vegan snacks has never been more fierce. It's vital that retailers are meeting the rising demand for plant-based snacks, and with the abundance of plant-based snacks available, it's never been easier!
Why Are Plant-Based Products Growing In Popularity?
Over the past few years, customers have noticeably started to make more ethical, environmental, and health-conscious choices when it comes to their diets. This refocusing of priorities has led to the vegan diet, which was previously considered an inaccessible dietary option, becoming both accessible and increasingly appealing to many.
Reasons for consumers moving towards plant-based products vary, for some people, it’s ethical and even environmental whereas for others it’s simply for health reasons. Research carried out by New Food Magazine found that 60% of UK consumers started eating plant-based products as it is considered to be ‘healthier’. They also reported that analysts have predicted the plant-based food market to grow by 11.9% by 2027 and to be valued at $74.2 billion.
What Can Offering Plant-Based Snacks Do For My Customers?
The demand for healthy (but delicious!) vegan and vegetarian snacks requires retailers to make this new dietary focus the forefront of their stores and promote the benefits of a plant-based diet. By providing a wide selection of vegan products for your customers you'll be able to stand out from competitors and keep customers wanting to come back for more.
According to One Green Planet, research carried out by the Plant-Based Products Council revealed that consumers don’t just want plant-based products for individual consumption but they also look favourably on businesses that provide plant-based products.
Their research stated that 57% of consumers are using plant-based products at least once a week and 89% of consumers are likely to support businesses that sell plant-based products. This means that businesses that don’t provide plant-based products will fall behind those that do which could also affect their reputation, which in this day and age is vital for any business.
