The Slovak Plant-Based Food Market Continues to Thrive According to New Report

A recent report by Jem pre Zem reveals that the plant-based food market in Slovakia is thriving, with 36.8% of the population actively reducing their consumption of animal-based products. Slovak households spent €40.4 million on plant-based alternatives and tofu in 2022, showing sustained growth despite a slight decrease in the growth rate compared to previous years.

The report indicates a widespread interest in reducing the consumption of animal-based products across all age groups, with the highest involvement observed among individuals aged 25 to 34. Traditional soy products like tofu and plant-based milk alternatives were among the most purchased items in 2022. The author of the report, Marian Milec, highlighted the growing potential for food manufacturers and retailers to enter the Slovak plant-based market and capitalize on its rapid growth.
