January \u2013 a time many of us set resolutions and vow to take part in various challenges that pop up this time of year.<\/p>\n

One such challenge \u2013 Veganuary<\/strong><\/a>. We set out to find out key consumer opinions and behaviours around this month-long Vegan pledge, by running some research with the Vypr Community.*<\/em><\/p>\n

How many people are taking part in Veganuary 2022?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 37% <\/strong>of our nationally representative sample are taking part.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We wanted to find out more from meat-eaters<\/strong> specifically, and found that around 21% are doing what they can\/reducing their meat intake, 12% are taking part, but 63% are not taking part at all (the remaining voted for None of the above).<\/p>\n

Why are people taking part?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We followed up with those that voted \u2018Yes\u2019 to our first question and found that the main reason people are taking part is for their health.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After uncovering these statistics, we wanted to dig deeper into consumer thoughts<\/strong> on the trend of Veganuary.<\/p>\n

We found out some interesting insights from the Vypr Community by conducting Sentiment Analyses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Overall thoughts on Veganuary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is what our community thought in general \u2013 with around 51% of the responses being positive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many believed it was a good idea but there were also consumers that wanted more education<\/strong> on it, expressing their concerns on how a Vegan diet could affect nutrient intake.<\/p>\n

There were also concerns about Veganuary being a drastic<\/strong> first step into eating more Vegan foods, as many stated they would prefer to reduce meat intake first.<\/p>\n

We ran more analyses to find breakdowns of thoughts by different diets<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Meat Eaters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 44% of responses were positive here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meat Reducers<\/strong><\/p>\n

A much larger 67% of responses were positive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vegetarians and Vegans:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps predictably, the percentage of positive responses from this group was the highest at 78.5%, but there were still some negative responses \u2013 particularly due to not liking the idea of it being a \u2018trend\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We hope you found this summary of research interesting \u2013 whether you\u2019ve pledged to a new routine or resolution, we wish you every success this new year!<\/strong><\/p>\n
