There are no accurate figures for the number of vegetarians in Taiwan, but in a 1990 China Times survey more than half of all respondents said that they had been vegetarian for at least a short period of time, and 14 percent claimed to have long-term experience as vegetarians.
台灣的素食人口沒有確實的統計數字，但民國七十九年，中國時報做過一次調查，百分之五十以上的受調者表示有過吃素的經驗，長期吃素的有百分之十四。
