A swift google shows that veganism is increasing; producing or selling Vegan products may be lucrative, & eating & using vegan products just may be the way of the future for many of us.
Its apparently fairly widespread in Europe.

"While the data online about veganism’s growth is not comprehensive, the Guardian estimates that there are 79 million vegans around the world.
Veganism is a philosophy that seeks to avoid the unnecessary suffering of all sentient beings, practiced as a diet and lifestyle in which individuals choose to avoid ingesting or using products made from animals. It could also be considered a social movement.
The term’s popularity has increased since 2004, when data first became available, and peaked in January 2020. It first surpassed “beef” as a search term in 2016, and they are now steady competitors for search interest."

"Sometime in the mid-2010s, many people shifted from using the word “vegan” to “plant-based,” transforming this way of eating into something more inclusive and welcoming to larger sections of society.
Now, in many areas, finding plant-based alternatives for everything from beef to eggs to dairy products (like cheese, butter, and ice cream) can be as easy as walking through mainstream grocery stores. Even many restaurants have added more plant-based items to their menus, or at least offer them as an option. Plus, plant-based foods taste better than ever — some so close to their animal-derived counterparts that it’s hard to tell the difference."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
