  • Butt Foods Vegan Snapshot UPDATED 11 05 18
    SNAPSHOT OF THE GROWING VEGAN SCENE IN THE UK The rise of veganism in the UK and what it may mean for foodservice opportunities From being seen as niche and ‘quirky’ even just ten years ago, veganism is now more popular than ever across the UK. Driven primarily by younger people responding to growing fears over personal health, animal welfare and climate change – and fuelled by campaigns such as the annual Veganuary – the growing interest and participation in veganism looks set to continue. As ever, for foodservice operators, the vegan movement represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Either way, it can’t be ignored. Veganism is Most trend forecasters and market analysts agree that the era of mainstream becoming more veganism has arrived. Growing out of its perceived eccentric origins, and latterly its mainstream and trendy, ‘metropolitan hipster' cache, the increasingly wide interest in the vegan way less niche. of eating is fuelled by a variety of powerful – and highly topical – consumer motives and supported by a burgeoning industry of crowd-funded new business start-ups, cookbooks, Youtube channels, social media and events. But to properly understand the growth it’s important to recognise that it’s largely a ground-up movement, driven mainly by under-35s, and their motivations suggest that this is sustainable growth. "1 of "15 What’s a vegan? Like vegetarians, vegans have cut all meat and fish from their diet, but they go a step further and also exclude any products of animal origin, such as milk, cheese, eggs and honey. More than 860,000 of all vegetarians and vegans also avoid all non- dietary animal products such as leather and wool.! ! The vegan ‘halo effect’ Demand is being It’s interesting to note that, beyond the core of declared vegans, there seems to be a driven not only by growing ‘halo’ of consumers who are not actually vegans themselves, but exhibit declared vegans, but by non-vegans vegan buying behaviour from time to time.

  • 2016 Food Service
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/13/2016 GAIN Report Number: United Kingdom Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional 2016 Approved By: Stan Phillips – Agricultural Counselor Prepared By: Julie Vasquez-Nicholson Report Highlights: This report provides an overview of the UK foodservice industry and its various sub-sectors. It describes how the various sectors work and provides contact information for all the main groups within the industry. Healthy food options are the hottest trend in the HRI sector which remains receptive to new American products. Post: London Author Defined: SECTION I – MARKET SUMMARY The hotel, restaurant and institutional (HRI) market is the UK’s fourth largest consumer market following food retail, motoring, and clothing and footwear. The HRI market provides prepared meals and refreshments for consumption, primarily outside the home. State of the market: In 2015 the UK foodservice sector (food and beverage sales to consumers) was estimated to be worth £47.9 billion ($62.2 billion). This was an increase of 2.8 percent on 2014. The food service sector is clearly an enormous market and is one that can provide many opportunities for prepared U.S. exporters. Although eating out is a way of life for many UK consumers, the number of times people eat out and the type of place where they eat are dictated by how much they want to spend. In the past year we have seen consumers wanting to eat out more and spend more.
