The vegan is growing market in
the world; it is expected to save
8 million lives and save 0.4% to
13% of GDP by 2050
The vegan industry is growing
in our country and the world.
According to Nielsen Ibope's
2016 "Global Study on Health
and Perceptions of
Ingredients"— the most recent
on the subject – Mexico
positioned itself as the Latin
American country with the
most vegan inhabitants, having
9% of practitioners, compared
to 4% of the rest of the region.
Alfredo Cordero Piccone, founder of
the vegan autofestival and creative
director of Tradex Exhibitions,
emphasizes that more and more
vegetarians decide to change
veganism thanks to their political
stance and in favor of animal rights,
because they seek to end the
exploitation and consumption around
them.

"According to data collected by our

Gourmet Show festival in 2018, 20%
of Mexicans claim not to consume
meat, or to be giving up their
consumption to eat a healthy diet
based on a diet of fun veganism with
conscience" He says
Carlos Torres Romay, director
of Technology Transfer and
Productivity of Natura Mexico,
stresses that 70% of people
considered vegan are women
and the sector that grows the
most with this trend are
millennials.
"Young Mexicans are the ones
who practice veganism the
most and the sector that will
have the most growth in the
coming years will be this one, I
believe that about 25% of them
will be the ones that drive the
industry," he says.
