With the growing vegan and vegetarian population worldwide, food manufacturers are focusing on developing more plant-based meat alternatives, dairy products and other vegan foods. However, plant-based foods contain lesser sodium than animal-based products. Hence, sodium reduction ingredients play a vital role in plant-based food products to enhance flavor without comprising on taste. This rising demand for vegan foods is expected to drive the growth of the sodium reduction ingredient market over the forecast period.
