IIRC from back when I was a vegan, and assuming what I heard was correct at the time, there was a single, very popular foreign supplier of "vegan" gelatin that was eventually exposed as a fraud. The gelatin they were selling was of animal origin. There were no competing products. Any new product will have to overcome the residual mistrust from that incident.

Found a source for the story that matches my recollection: https://aaww.org/the-vegan-marshmallow/
