  1. Burger Vegetali Classici (Unconventional, Italy)

  3. Burger Vegetali Al Pomodoro (Unconventional, Italy)

Based on abillion's review data, consumer interest for vegan burger products increased by 3 times between July 2020 and June 2021, compared to the previous year.

Products by Granarolo's Unconventional Burger have placed 1st and 3rd in this year's list. Granarolo is one of the biggest food companies in Italy, founded in 1957 and based in Bologna. In March 2020, during the pandemic, Granarolo launched Unconventional Burger. Within a few months, Unconventional Burger became one of the five most successful brands for the company.

Next Level Meat's 'Next Level Burger' placed 4th in this year's awards. Lidl, a discount retailer chain from Germany, developed this burger under its own brand Next Level Meat. Next Level Burger makes burger patties for retailers and for their own restaurant outlets across Germany and the USA. Next Level Burger is said to be America's first 100% plant-based burger joint.

Heura's 'Burgers Heura' placed 5th in this year's awards. This Spanish plant-based meat brand recently completed a crowdfunding campaign during which it raised almost €4 million within 24 hours, far surpassing its target of €1 million.

Vikas Garg, Founder and CEO, abillion, says, "The popularity of alternative protein products is growing among people thanks to increasing accessibility. These products are great alternatives, not just for vegans, but for everyone. In fact, 65% of our members are flexitarians and omnivores that are looking to reduce their meat consumption. Our intention with these awards is to celebrate the brands our members love; help others discover these fantastic sustainable and healthy products; and also help keep brands informed about consumer preferences in their market categories. I particularly look forward to the burger awards each year because, well, who doesn't love a good burger?

abillion dishes out several awards and publishes research papers throughout the year.
