About the data This report is based on sales data gathered byCircanafrom retailers in Italy. The datahas been analysed by the Good Food Institute Europe.

Data for 2024 covers only part ofthe year: from January to April. Since partial-year data for 2024 is not directlycomparable to full-year data for the other years, 2024 data in this report is presentedas a comparison to the same time period in 2023, i.e. January to April 2023. For the Italian data, the specific dates covered by each time period are: ●Full-year 2021: 4 January 2021 to 2 January 2022●Full-year 2022: 3 January 2022 to 1 January 2023●Full-year 2023: 2 January 2023 to 31 December 2023●Partial-year 2023: 2 January 2023 to 30 April 2023●Partial-year 2024: 1 January 2024 to 28 April 2024 Note that since a different data provider has been used, with different product categorydefinitions and coverage, the numbers in this report are not directly comparable tothose in GFI Europe’s previous publication,Marketinsights on European plant-basedsales 2020-2022. Key terms Plant-based:foods that are made from plants. Wheredata permits, we have focusedspecifically on plant-based products that aim to mimic the taste and texture of animalproducts. In some categories, non-analogue products such as those based on beans orlentils are also included because the data does not permit further subcategorisation. Animal-based:food items derived from farmed animals,such as meat from chickensor milk from cows. Sales value:the total value of sales measured ineuros (€). Unit sales:the total number of units of a productsold. A unit can refer to a pack,carton or tub, for instance. Sales volume:the total quantity of products soldmeasured in kilograms (kg) or litres,depending on the product category. PY 2024:partial year data for 2024, with the exactdates depending on the productcategory. Exact dates are indicated in graph titles and explanatory text. Market share:the proportion of all sales in a wider product category (comprising bothplant-based and animal-based versions) that is plant-based. This fraction is calculatedby dividing plant-based sales by the sum of plant-based and animal-based sales. Inthis report, market share has mostly been calculated on the basis of sales volume;however, it can also be calculated on the basis of sales value. Note that in this report,market share is calculated based only on retail sales of pre-packaged products. It doesnot account for sales in restaurants or products that are not pre-packaged.
