Key Trends in the Market

Plant-based meat is a term used to refer to meat prepared from plant-source rather food animals like goat, sheep, and others. Plant-based meat and meat products mimic the taste and texture of animal meat while serving a sustainable food alternative. They can be prepared from plant sources, including soy, pea, jackfruit, seitan, tofu, and tempeh, among others.

 

  • One of the key plant-based meat market trends is the rapid expansion of the plant-based alternative foods market, supported by growing vegan and flexitarian population and innovations towards revolutionising the food system. Plant-based alternative foods can help fulfill the rising global demand for meat, creating a food system with a greater dependence on plant-based food sources to sustainably feed the global population while addressing pressing environmental issues including the climate change.
  • Increasing global concerns related to zoonotic diseases are encouraging consumers to adopt plant-based food alternatives over animal-based foods. Irresponsible use of antibiotics in food animals results in increased antimicrobial resistance in them, leading to an increase in the number of infectious diseases transmitted from animals to humans. This is creating a need to modernise meat production to lower the risk of global public health issues by reducing reliance on animals in the food system.
  • The plant-based meat market growth is likely to be supported by innovations in plant ingredient and optimisation of supply chain, with a growing emphasis on developing plant-based meat with improved sensory qualities and texture, cleaner ingredient formulations, and affordable prices. The growing customer inclination towards clean label products is likely to support this trend.
