“43% of Canadians are actively trying to incorporate more plant-based foods in their diets.

“12% of 18 to 24 year old Canadians identified themselves as VEGAN or VEGETARIAN. Millennial customers are driving your business forward, and are looking for vegan versions of the traditional products they once enjoyed growing up.

Vegetarian and Vegans now account for nearly 10% of Canadian population. This increased presence is driving the restaurant industry to increase their menu offering and look for alternative meat free concepts. Interestingly, the majority of this population are under the age of 35 meaning the increase in vegetarian ranks will likely only ramp up as todays vegetarians become a bigger part of society.
