45% of Portuguese consumers are reducing or have completely eliminated their consumption of red meat, and 54% of them have done the same for other meats such as sausages and cold cuts. Currently, vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians (we refer to these groups together as "veggie consumers") represent 9% of the adult population in Portugal, or 760 thousand people—and this segment shows no signs of stopping its growth. A third of them have made the decision to change their diet in the last 2 years.
These are some of the statistics that can be found in our study “The Green Revolution Portugal,” a continuation of our research on the same topic in Spain. We found a powerful veggie trend in the Portuguese market too, which has enormous potential for mass-market brands.
