Philippines Plant Based Food Market Trends:

Increasing Health and Well-being Awareness

The Philippines plant-based food industry is experiencing robust growth as people are increasingly placing a priority on health and well-being in their food choices. More people are being mindful of the relationship between diet and chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease that are common in the country. Consequently, individuals are looking for food products with less cholesterol, saturated fat, and calories yet still provide vital nutrients. Plant-based foods are seen as a healthier alternative to conventional animal-based foods in line with the larger trend towards preventive medicine. Social media, health initiatives, and online influencers are constantly spreading the word about plant-based diets, further making it attractive to younger populations. This mindset change is driving the adoption of plant-based food products in cities, where consumers are testing meat alternatives, plant-based milk, and other new food solutions as part of a growing transition towards health-conscious living. In 2025, Ascott Limited became the first company to introduce a plant-based target in the country. It collaborated with the sustainability NGO Lever Foundation to pledge that 20% of its menu will be plant-based by this year, increasing to 30% by 2027, at its 17 locations throughout the country.

Increasing Environmental and Sustainability Issues

Environmental consciousness is increasingly influencing consumerism in the Philippines, catalyzing the demand for plant-based food. As problems like deforestation, climate change, and depletion of resources attract greater attention, consumers become increasingly aware about the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Plant-based options are being marketed as environment friendly alternatives reducing greenhouse gases, water use, and land use. Younger generations, especially Millennials and Gen Z, are moving toward aligning consumption patterns with principles of sustainability and ethical living. Corporate social responsibility, public campaigns by governments, and awareness raised by non-governmental organizations are further scaling up this change by advocating sustainable diets as a part of climate action plans. Food industry firms are responding by introducing plant-based product lines and emphasizing green-friendly branding. This synchronization among consumer sensitization and business efforts is consistently strengthening plant-based food uptake as an eco-friendly option in the Philippine market. In 2025, 7-Eleven in Philippines started offering products and meals presenting plant-based meat and fish from Indonesia’s Green Rebel Foods. Initially launched to promote the Catholic Lenten fasting season, the partnership has now grown to encompass more than 2,000 stores nationwide, tapping into the Filipino interest in plant-based meat.

Growth of Foodservice and Retail Availability

Availability of plant-based offerings is steadily rising in the Philippines via foodservice platforms, supermarkets, and the internet, simplifying exposure and adoption for consumers. Major quick-service chains and café companies are launching plant-based options to meet shifting consumer tastes, enabling higher visibility and securing mainstream acceptance, thereby impelling Philippines plant based food market growth. They are also allotting increasing shelf space to plant-based meat, dairy alternatives, and snacks, aided by appealing packaging and marketing campaigns. Online platforms are also driving accessibility by providing nationwide delivery, subscription, and promotion packages, drawing both urban and rural consumers. Global plant-based brands continue to enter the Philippine market by partnering with local distributors, while local manufacturers innovate with locally inspired flavors to address local tastes. IMARC group predicts that the Philippines e-commerce market is projected to attain USD 75.59 Billion by 2033.
