Market Analysis

Plant-Based Food Market Overview:

The market for plant-based food is largely driven by the increasing awareness towards health benefits associated with plant-based diets, such as reduced risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol levels, and better weight management. In addition, a growing number of consumers are choosing plant-based solutions to lessen their carbon footprint due to growing awareness of the negative environmental effects of animal agriculture, including  greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water usage. This is driving additional expansion in the market. For instance, plant-based meat manufacturer, Heura has grown in Mexico and can now be found selling its goods in Walmart, City Market, Fresko, and La Comer. Heura is committed to providing Mexico with four unique SKUs that are more ecologically and healthfully friendly.

Plant-Based Food Market Trends:

Rising Health and Wellness Trends

The growing awareness towards health issues and the changing dietary preferences of consumers, such as plant-based diets, gluten-free options, and functional foods, shape product development and market trends. Besides this, cultural preferences, dietary habits, and demographic shifts (aging populations, multicultural societies) influence plant-based food consumption patterns. Moreover, there is a significant shift towards healthier eating habits, driving the demand for organic, natural, and functional foods. For example, JBS Foods brand Planterra Foods expanded into Mexico. The company announced a supply agreement with UNFI. Planterra aims to increase the market for its plant-based burgers, ground, and Mexican Seasoned ground beef products through a partnership with UNFI.

New Product Launches and Celebrity Endorsement

The development of innovative products, such as plant-based milk, eggs, and meat, is acting as a growth-inducing factor. These products are high in essential nutrients and taste nearly identical to those derived from animals. Further, innovative plant-based food and beverage products are booming with the penetration of several entrepreneurs. Moreover, the ongoing advances in food technology have led to the development of plant-based meat substitutes, dairy alternatives, and other plant-based products that closely mimic the taste and texture of traditional animal-based foods. In addition, the wider availability of plant-based products in grocery stores, restaurants, and online platforms has made it easier for consumers to adopt a plant-based lifestyle. For example, key Mexican celebrities support veganism through their social media platforms including Eugenio Derbez, Marianna Burelli, Juan Pablo Di Pace, and Marco Antonio Regil, among others. Furthermore, Heartbeat Foods, a Mexican vegan food company launched its new e-commerce store, that allows consumers to purchase its plant-based milk via a subscription model.
