‘2020 was a breakout year for plant-based foods…’ GFI, PBFA, SPINS, unveil 2020 retail sales data
US retail sales of plant-based meat rose 45% to $1.4bn in measured channels in 2020, according to SPINS data commissioned by the GFI and the PBFA (pic credit: GettyImages-Aluna1) Sales of plant-based foods that directly replace animal products - including meat, seafood, eggs, dairy, condiments and meals containing plant-based alternatives - grew by 27% to $7bn in measured channels in the year to December 27, 2020, according to SPINS data commissioned by The Good Food Institute (GFI) and the Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA).
The SPINS dataset (natural enhanced and conventional multi-outlet) excludes several leading retailers that don t share their data, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, ALDI, Costco and convenience stores, and does not include e-commerce sales, so the actual figure is likely somewhat higher.
