(Graphic: Business Wire) In this market research report, Technavio covers the market outlook and growth prospects of the global tofu market for 2017-2021. Broadly, tofu products can be segmented into two categories: fresh or unprocessed tofu (produced directly from soy milk) and processed tofu (produced from fresh tofu). The processed segment accounted for close to 85% of the market share in 2016. "Growing vegan population base and an increasing number of people with lactose intolerance, are driving the growth of the market. These people prefer tofu as an alternative non-meat and non-milk source of protein in their diets," says Manjunath Reddy, a lead food research expert from Technavio. Technavio's research analysts segment the global tofu market into the following regions:
