Vegan Fast Food on the Rise

The vegan fast food market is expected to be valued at $18.9 billion in global sales in 2024 and grow to $28.2 billion by 2034, according to Future Market Insights.

Health concerns are one of the primary reasons why people are turning toward veganism and vegan fast food. Vegan fast food offers a range of options that are free from animal products, including burgers, wraps, and sandwiches. These meals are often made from whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and legumes, which are high in essential nutrients and fiber and low in unhealthy saturated fats.

Increasing environmental awareness is another factor driving the demand for vegan fast food, according to Future Market. The meat industry is known to have a significant impact on the environment, with animal agriculture being a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and deforestation. Ethical considerations are also driving growth in vegan fast food. 

 "The increasing demand for vegan fast food has led to an unparalleled expansion of the market, with many fast-food chains and restaurants offering vegan options," said Nandini Roy Choudhury, client partner for food & veverages at Future Market Insights, Inc., in a statement. "This has made it easier for people to access vegan food, and as a result, more people are trying it out. In addition, social media has played a significant role in promoting veganism and vegan fast food, with many influencers and celebrities endorsing it on their platforms."
