The plant-based food industry has projected significant growth for years to come driven by health conscious consumers and their changing diets, concern for animal welfare, improved product taste, and growing climate and environmental awareness. The number of large food conglomerates and start-ups developing new products in the space grows seemingly every week. Beyond Meat (BYND), a Best Idea Short, Nomad Foods (NOMD), a Best Idea Long, and SunOpta (STKL), on the Long Bias List, are among the many companies investing in the category. Plant-based food has grown across the grocery store into numerous categories as can be seen in the following table:

To give us the perspective of a grocery chain buyer, we are hosting a discussion with Kelsea Taylor, Manager of Perishables at a 250 store grocery chain. She is in charge of the sales and profit of the health market department which includes plant-based meat, dairy, and frozen products. She also follows a plant-based diet and will relate the consumer side with the business side.

Some of the topics to be discussed:

  • What trends in plant based foods have open ended growth opportunities, and what are destined to be niche products?
  • Where are the shelf space gains for plant-based foods coming from? 
  • How does shelf placement and price points impact sales?
  • Which companies are the future winners and losers?
  • Will there be a reshuffling of market share in milk?
  • How did COVID-19 impact plant-based meat and are the shelf space gains sustainable?
  • Insights into the promotional and competitive dynamics of the categories.

 We are also taking live questions during the call, so be prepared with any questions you may have.
