That Wikipedia page is odd: in the table of shows Mexico as 19%, and in the Mexican section (below the table) it has 8%, and groups Mexico with Central America.
As a Mexican, even 8% feels high! It is damn hard to find meat free food in most restaurants.
If you know a more reliable source for Mexico, it would be great if you could correct that incorrect article. I just stumbled across Germany not being listed in the original post as I know from several sources that there are +/- 10% vegetarians here.
I'm afraid I don't have a reliable source of information other than what I can see on the street. Anecdotally it is hard to find pescatarian or vegetarian dishes in many restaurants. If nearly 20% of the population was vegetarian, this wouldn't be the case.
