United Kingdom Tofu Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021- 2026)
The United Kingdom tofu market was valued at USD 92.52 million in 2020, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.68% during the forecast period, 2021-2026.
- In the long-term, the COVID-19 situation is likely to impact plant-based food and beverages across the European region on a positive note, owing to a prolonged shift in consumption patterns as more and more people are likely to adopt vegan diets. This, in turn, resulted in an increasing number of manufacturers like Tofu King, The Tofoo Co., and others expanding their presence in the country to meet the propelling demand.
- Altogether, the growing vegan population and an increasing number of lactose-intolerant people are the key factors driving the demand for tofu as a meat substitute across the United Kingdom. Furthermore, there has been an increasing demand for plant protein nutrients among consumers thereby, growing awareness about the health benefits of such nutrients led to the increasing growth of vegan protein sources, like tofu.
