Industry Trends and Drivers:

Meat Substitutes Market Report Segmentation:

·         Consumer Focus on Health, Wellness, and Flexitarianism:

The major driver is a broadening perception of health and wellness among consumers, particularly among the Millennials and Generation Z segments. Consumers are increasingly concerned about health benefits and increasingly demand foods that are perceived to be healthy, thus driving the flexitarianism, a diet that is mainly, but not exclusively, plant-based. They are not necessarily vegetarian or vegan but are looking for ways to swap out meat several times a week to reduce animal fat, cholesterol and exposure to hormones. This health conscious group has pushed demand for meat alternatives to be "clean label" products. These products are made from recognizable minimally processed ingredients and often contain added fiber and protein (pea, soy, mushroom). Market launches have increasingly presented these benefits, positioning plant-based foods as leading dietary choices for nutritional wellness and preventative health rather than alternative products for animal-derived foods.

·         Environmental Sustainability and Ethical Consumption:

One of the largest factors that grows the market is that consumers know the customary livestock farming negatively affects things since it meaningfully contributes to greenhouse gasses emitting, forests deforesting, land and water using, and biodiversity losing. An increasing number of consumers choose plant-based protein to reduce their carbon footprint and participate in sustainability efforts. Especially among eco-aware consumers, there is a popular notion that purchasing decisions are actions against climate change. Food producers and restaurant chains responded to this awareness through touting meat alternatives with strong sustainability credentials, offering explicit reductions when using water or regarding the carbon footprint versus producing beef or pork. Sustainability gains favor as the ethical choice, and the meat substitute aisle shows the most explicit example.

·         Next-Generation Product Innovation and Sensory Experience:

Beneath the environmental, health, and ethical motivations, the first hurdle to overcome has been texture and taste. This driver is the product itself and involves the research and development of a product that will mimic both forms and eating experience of meat. This is referred to as the "holy grail". Most innovation concerns ingredient science, including qualitative improvement of pea protein, fungi or microalgae, and processing technologies such as high-moisture extrusion (HME), which can model the fibrous and muscular structure of meat fibers. Still unproven, precision fermentation and cellular agriculture may be able to recreate proteins with the texture, taste and mouthfeel characteristics of animal fat. A gradual increase in sensory acceptance is important to win over habitual meat-eaters, and to move these meat replacement products out of the health food aisle and into the supermarket and fast food outlets.
