Trends and Changes in Australia’s Plant-Based Food Market

The Australian plant-based market is evolving. While consumer interest remains strong, the latest audit from the Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council (GLNC) shows that overall product availability has declined since 2022, reflecting a more mature market.

The Plant-Based Report examines changes across plant-based meat alternatives, milk and dairy alternatives, and ready meals, analysing category trends, nutritional composition, ingredients, and on-pack claims. Key findings reveal a 33% decline in products, including a 51% drop in meat alternatives and a 22% reduction in plant-based milk, highlighting significant shifts since the last audit conducted two years prior.
