MARKET ANALYSIS

The market analysis for vegetarian restaurants in the UK shows a dynamic and growing sector. Here are some key points to consider, which demonstrate the scope of this business opportunity:

Market Size and Growth: The UK meat-free market is approximately £437 million, making it the largest in Europe. The revenue from vegetarian food and drink products and plant-based alternatives reached £1.1 billion in 2022.

Consumer Trends: One in three Brits has stopped or reduced their meat consumption, indicating a shift towards vegetarian and vegan diets. In 2019, 19% of Brits considered going vegan. Sainsbury’s predicts that vegetarians and vegans will make up a quarter of the UK population by 2025.

Demographics: The primary age group for vegans in the UK are 30-39-year-olds (4%), followed by 20-29-year-olds (3%) and 40-49-year-olds (3%).

Vegan Product Sales: Sales of vegan items, including meat substitutes, have seen significant growth. For example, Tesco's vegan meat sales increased by 300% in 2020.

Distribution and Availability: The availability of vegan options has grown, with Deliveroo reporting more than double the number of vegan restaurants on its app in 2021, and 12,000 restaurants offering vegan-friendly options.

These trends suggest a growing market for vegetarian and vegan foods, influenced by factors like health, environmental concerns, and animal welfare, all of which have helped this business establish itself in a Niche market, which will only increase over the coming years.
