Global Plant-Based Trend: Preserving the Integrity of Whole Foods

According to statistics, approximately 13–14% of Taiwan's population follows a vegetarian diet, ranking it third globally after India and Mexico.

Taiwan’s plant-based meat industry is valued at around NT$25 billion, with the domestic market accounting for roughly 20% (NT$5 billion).

As modern consumers seek low-carbon and sustainable dietary choices, the demand for plant-based proteins continues to grow.

 

While plant-based meat products have gained global attention, concerns remain due to their highly processed nature.

Many consumers are increasingly mindful of the health implications of such processing.

In contrast, soy-based whole foods—such as tofu, dried tofu, and yuba—are minimally processed, retain their natural texture, and align more closely with the growing "less processed, whole food" movement.

 

Taiwan has a rich tradition and advanced technical expertise in soy-based food production.

Its diverse range of soy products, combined with modern processing technologies, holds strong potential for enhancing product stability, scaling for export, and positioning Taiwan as a leader in sustainable food solutions worldwide.
