Plant based meatballs demand is upward trending as consumers are turning to vegan options to stay healthy and fit. Key market players are developing new plant based products to offer variety to consumers with different ingredients, spices, flavors and texture. Sausages and Burger Patties remain the top consumed plant based meat in 2020 with over 60% market share. Sausages and Spanish breakfasts are indifferent to each other. Spaniards have been consuming sausages in second breakfast as sandwich or tortilla and at dinner as a side dish. Chorizo is the famous and most savored sausage made from pork meat in Spain. While, burgers are the second love after sausages to Spaniards that is the most tempting fast food and goes easy on pocket. Strips and nuggets are increasingly being tried and liked by consumers across the country and are demanding more of them. These are mostly consumed by young demographics for evening snack or just before the dinner time. According to a research paper Spain is the healthiest country of world as they eat a Mediterranean diet with omega 3, fats and proteins. The transition from animal meat to plant based meat is easy to adapt as they are already inclined to healthy eating habits. But, the only restraint is lack of awareness of the harmful effects of over consumption of animal meat and its corresponding climatic changes and the environment. The Spanish are in a assumption that the climatic changes are caused due to vehicular traffic or industries. To foster plant based diet consumers need to be confronted with the adverse effects. This can be achieved through various guidelines; promoting plant based eating, and lowering the animal meat consumption. Plant based beef is moderately consumed type while, plant based fish accounts for less than 1% market share. But the future trend of plant based fish is promising as there will be more demand for the same. Spaniards lately are being aware of the diseases associated with fats due to meat consumption and the growing anti livestock industry narratives. This is causing for an increased demand for clean labeled food products and decline for processed foods.
