How many people participated in Veganuary 2026?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

In previous campaigns, we measured participation based on how many people opted into our 31-day email series via our website. However, we know that this does not reflect the true number of participants, as many people take part without officially registering through the website.<\/p>\n

As we learn from the success we\u2019ve seen in the UK and expand to new countries, our priority is measuring global participation. Since Veganuary launched its first pledge in January 2014, millions of people \u2013 coming from almost every country in the world \u2013 have taken part.<\/p>\n

To better understand and measure participation around the world, we now commission surveys in our core campaign countries to establish the percentage of people who report having taken part in Veganuary during the month.<\/p>\n

Nationally representative surveys* were commissioned by Veganuary in twelve of its core campaign countries to establish the percentage of people who report having taken part in Veganuary during January 2026. Based on these results and the current population estimates for each country, Veganuary has calculated that roughly 30 million people worldwide chose to try vegan this January as part of Veganuary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Survey details are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. The total sample size was 13,529 adults across France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Chile, the UK, Germany, and Ireland. Fieldwork was undertaken between 20 and 29 January 2026. The survey was carried out online. Each country sample has been weighted individually to be representative of the adult population (aged 18+) within that country. Population estimates referenced alongside the survey data were analysed independently by Veganuary, using third-party population sources.<\/p>\n

US fieldwork was undertaken between 14-22 January 2026 by Wakefield Research using an email invitation and an online survey. Total sample size 2000 adults. The data has been weighted to ensure an accurate representation of nationally representative U.S. adults (aged 18+).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Veganuary is not a medical organization and we are not medical professionals, so unfortunately we cannot provide any type of medical advice to our participants. If you have a concern about your health, we strongly suggest speaking to your doctor or a registered dietician who is sympathetic to plant-based eating.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
