  • Data collection on the concentration of vegans in a country is confounded by several factors. The definition of a vegan can vary, details are often self-reported, studies may be biased toward one conclusion or another, and sample sizes are often small. As such, values shown are best viewed as statistically based estimates rather than scientifically proven data.
  • A small number of countries present their data on the percentage of vegetarians as a range. For those countries, the table displays a median value. The original ranges are as follows:
  • India: 20–39
  • Taiwan: 13–14
  • Italy: 5.9–8.9
  • Ireland: 4.3–8.4
  • China: 4–5
  • Slovenia: 1.4–1.6
