Share of vegans in Great Britain in 2022, by region

In 2022, the largest share of vegans, at 3.67 percent, could be found in London. In contrast, the smallest proportion of the population that identified themselves as vegan could be found in the Rest of the South. Here the share of vegans was close to two percent. The North also showed a high share of vegans. Other facts about Veganism in the UK The Vegan society estimated that about 600 thousand people in the UK followed a vegan diet in 2019. The exact number is disputed and can vary from source to source; however, it seems clear that the number of vegans has been growing. Other estimates put the share of vegans at 2.59 percent of the UK population which would put the number of vegans at around 1.7 million in January of 2019. Ethical motivations and healthier living are the main drivers for becoming a vegan in the UK. A growing importance of ethical consumerism Ethical dimensions increasingly drive consumer spending, whether these are animal-welfare and environmental concerns - in the case of veganism and vegetarianism in particular - or concerns for human rights and social justice. Average household spending on ethical food in the UK has reached eleven million British pounds.

于2022年，伦敦拥有最大比例的素食者，占比高达3.67%。相较之下，在英格兰南部其他地区，自我认定为素食者的群体比例最小，该比例接近两个百分点。北部地区同样显示出素食者比例较高。关于英国素食主义的其他事实：英国素食协会估计，2019年约有六十万英国人遵循素食饮食。确切数字存在争议，并可能因来源而异；然而，显而易见的是，素食者的数量正在增长。其他估计将素食者的比例定为英国总人口的2.59%，这意味着2019年1月英国约有170万名素食者。道德动机和健康的生活方式是成为英国素食者的主要驱动力。道德消费主义的重要性日益凸显，道德维度正日益推动消费支出，无论这些关注点涉及动物福利和环境问题——特别是针对素食主义和素食主义——还是涉及人权和社会正义问题。在英国，平均家庭在道德食品上的支出已达到一千一百万英镑。
