Overall, the United States boasts the highest number of Veggly users in one country, with 78,662, over double the number of last year: 38,300.
In the past 18 months, Veggly has grown rapidly, reaching over 450,000 global users from the US, to Canada, to Australia, to Denmark, Korea, Spain and beyond. Available globally, Veggly is set to continue its growth thanks to an army of vegan volunteers around the world who have worked together to translate the app into Spanish, German, Portuguese, French, Italian, Danish, Korean, and Polish, with many more languages on the way.
Commenting on the new USA data, Founder of Veggly, Alex Felipelli, said: “The ‘Empire State’ is the best place to be if you’re an American vegan looking for love these days! But it’s not the only place – we are seeing strong growth across the whole country, with many new hotspots popping up. It’s great to see such a widespread from east to west, and north to south! Even Texas is on the rise – it just missed out on the top 10, ranking at number 11 this time, with 187 users per million. If veganism can grow in Texas, it can grow anywhere!
“Building on our success in the USA, we are continuing to increase our marketing investment throughout the country. We will make sure these hotspots grow stronger and develop new ones all over North America and the world by making the Veggly app accessible to everyone.”
