Veganism is increasing on average 1500% a year and often is the #1 google search term in urban cities. Undeniably, the vegan, plant-based, lifestyle is multiplying, and therefore, it should come as no surprise that the global market for ethically packaged and labeled foods is projected to be a trillion-dollar industry.
A Vegan is a person who consumes no products that come from animals and who abstains from using animal products that contribute to animal exploitation in their day-to-day routine (i.e. beverages, food, cosmetics, clothes, businesses, etc.). For this reason, buying decisions are more strict, thoughtful, and conscious.
being vegan certification means no animal ingredients or animal by-products used in the product, in the manufacturing of the product, and no animal testing of the product. being vegan certification helps you to increase consumer trust.
Consumers are embracing vegan for multiple reasons: Compassion for the animals, environmental sustainability, and/or for the scientifically proven health benefits. The fact is, veganism is spreading worldwide, and consumers are searching for plant-based vegan products with a vegan certification logo to legitimize vegan claims. Consumers are demanding honest information. Statistics show that 80% of those who purchase vegan products or frequent vegan restaurants are not even self-proclaimed vegans, but simply conscious consumers leaning into the healthier, vegan, plant-based lifestyle. The bottom line, consumers are looking for the BeVeg vegan symbol, and more than half of purchasing habits are based on a label.
