According to Vegconomist, the vegan egg industry is predicted to grow up to $3.3 billion by 2031. Our top 10 predictions in the plant-based industry also point to the vegan egg market set to boom.

Based on our data report, the highest reviews (more than 700) on the platform are for JUST, "which replicates the taste and texture of beaten eggs". Like JUST, other vegan egg brands are also shaking the alternative protein market. Float Foods is one worth noting because the Singaporean start-up has developed one of the world's first whole egg substitutes made from legumes (including yolks!).

With all the new plant-based egg substitutes, we're closer than ever to developing a sustainable food system, inching us closer to a meat-free future. While many brands are creating a difference, we've highlighted five of them, who are changing the world, one plant-based egg at a time.

JUST

It goes beyond taste and texture: people love the versatility in which they can use this egg substitute, creating different recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s liquid, easy and quick to use, making it perfect for those who are always on the go.
