Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Plant-Based Cuisine

Many regional culinary traditions naturally incorporate plant-based ingredients, giving restaurants an advantage in expanding their menus. By refining and highlighting these existing flavors, restaurants can effortlessly introduce high-demand, profitable plant-based dishes that appeal to both locals and international guests.

Tapping into the Fastest-Growing Dining Trend

The plant-based market is projected to reach $85 billion by 2030 ( Pioneering Marketdigits Consulting and Advisory Private Limited) growing at 10.5% annually—much faster than traditional restaurant segments.

Post-pandemic travelers increasingly seek sustainable and plant-based dining options, with 76% (according to Booking.com survey) more likely to choose restaurants offering quality plant-based choices.
