Plant-based burger market is witnessing a spike in demand, which is expected to continue post pandemic according to a recent report published by Future Market Insights (FMI). Although the pandemic has hit production and supply chains across the world, the global plant-based burgers market has managed to attract demand from consumers says FMI.
The global plant-based burgers market is poised to witness extraordinary growth with CAGR of above 22% for the forecast period 2020-2030, according to FMI. Though plant based burgers were originally developed with vegan and vegetarian consumers in mind, many others are also joining in the ongoing trend. The concepts like ‘flexitarians’ and similar others are gaining traction owing to concerns for health as well as eco system.
Furthermore, animal borne diseases such as COVID-19, SARS, bird flu and many others are pushing more people towards plant based food products. The magnitude and intensity of novel Corona virus is making consumers opt for healthier food substitutes with high nutritional value.
Plant based burgers are made as replacement of regular animal meat burger, using plant ingredients and natural sources without compromising the benefits, but attempting to reduce the drawbacks. These greener and healthier alternatives to the existing food choices are gaining momentum in the market post the onset of COVID-19 suggests report.

“As the demand for plant-based burger continues to grow, market players are aiming at innovating packaging and storage solutions to ensure nutrients in their products remain intact for a longer period. They are even forging partnerships with several leading names in food chains to ensure they have a widespread footprint” says analyst at FMI.
COVID-19 Impact on Plant Based Burgers Market
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted life and business since its advent. The lockdowns imposed by the governments to reduce the impact of the pandemic has brought businesses across the world to halt. Many businesses incurred heavy losses owing to the shutdowns in the production. However, plant based food was one particular industry which saw a spike in growth amidst all the uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
This growth could be attributed to the fear in people’s minds because of the animal borne disease such as COVID-19. As the impact of the disease grew stronger, the growth in the sales of healthy and nutritious plant based meat substitutes saw exponential increase. Lockdown imposed in March 2020 saw one of the biggest spikes in sales of plant based meat substitutes in regions including Europe, North America, Latin America and others.
