Alt dairy giant Oatly comes in second, with almost 200,000 searches a month and more than two million searches a year. The rapidly expanding brand recently posted Q2 revenue of $146.2 million – a 53.3% increase YOY with a further 64% increase in revenue forecast.

Veganism in the mainstream

“As vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets increase in popularity and become ever more mainstream, it’s fascinating to see which vegan brands are the most searched in the world, as well as which brands dominate in each country. The popularity of brands like Beyond Meat and Quorn shows our interest in plant-based meat, while the prevalence of Oatly and Alpro reflect the increasing demand for dairy alternatives”, said a spokesperson for Maxima Kitchen Equipment, which conducted the research.
