The present study analysed consumers' attitudes
and perceptions towards a vegan lifestyle in Ludhiana city. The results
revealed that animal welfare, personal health, and environmental safety
were the primary reasons for adopting veganism. Perceptions of consumers
towards a vegan lifestyle with demographic variables were found to be
non-significant. Vegan consumers perceive veganism as a lifestyle (3.47).
Three important factors were identified: vegan consumers perceived
veganism as a lifestyle, a vegan lifestyle is difficult to follow, and
veganism leads to a moral life. Consumers were satisfied with their decision
to adopt a vegan lifestyle. The study emphasized environmental and health
concerns. To address growing concerns about a vegan lifestyle, marketers should
emphasise the ease of access to vegan products for consumers.
