Generation Z is creating a $5 billion market for plant-based meat and seafood, according to new research.

The generation – which includes people born between 1995 and 2005, and makes up a quarter of the U.S. population – is shaping a billion-dollar food market, say Barclays researchers.

Expected to account for 40 percent of all consumers by 2020, members of Gen Z are embracing the food trend that replaces animal products with plant-based alternatives.

Movement

Allied Market Research expects the vegan meat market to reach $5.2 billion globally by 2020.

A recent report has also shown that Generation Z consumes 57 percent more tofu and 550 percent more plant-based milk than millennials.

“College campuses feed the consumers of tomorrow,” Sharon Olson, co-founder of Y-Pulse, told Civil Eats in an article about seafood alternatives rolling out in dining halls. 

“These students are developing habits of a lifetime, including products they’ll look for when they graduate.”
