From Beyond Meat to cashew cheese, vegan options have never been more accessible and plentiful for consumers. And, this is for good reason! Nearly 7 million adults in the U.S. now identify as vegan and 4.3 million identify as vegetarian. While this has greatly influenced the food options found in the grocery store, how has it impact athletes and bodybuilders that are swearing off meat or other animal products? Find out in this article as we explore the rise in plant-based sports nutrition products and some of the reasons your brand should invest in the trend today.
In the past 2 years, several major brands have entered the plant-based sports nutrition arena; however, it’s not too late for new brands to get in on the ground floor and compete. However, to be successful in this market segment there are a few key priorities that you should keep in mind for the most impact with your new target audiences. Products must have attached sustainability claims, include only plant-based ingredients and should fill micronutrient gaps that may be present in the typical vegan diet.
Plant-based sports nutrition products show no sign of slowing as consumers begin to adopt new lifestyle shifts and become more eco-conscious. By ensuring product packaging is sustainable and recyclable while also ensuring that your ingredients are not only vegan-friendly but also provide optimal levels of nutrition can help put you on the path to success in this burgeoning market. Working with an experienced and knowledgeable supplement manufacturer can help ensure your product meets the specifications that consumers are looking for when sourcing plant-based sports nutrition products.
