Plant-based Meat Market Trends

Plant-based Meat Market Trends

A growing emphasis on clean-label and minimally processed plant-based meat products is a significant trend. Several countries have now recognized the need to label such products. For instance, according to an article published by National Consumers League, Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced the issuance of draft guidance on the labeling of plant-based milks and plant-based alternatives to “animal-derived foods” (meats) in 2022. Consumers are increasingly scrutinizing ingredient lists and are drawn to products with simple, recognizable components which has led to a surge in product innovation. The manufacturers are working to create plant-based meats that are not only healthy but also transparent in terms of the ingredients.
 

Additionally, there is a surge in collaborations between foodservice establishments and plant-based meat producers. As per the study published by National Consumers League, Bloomberg Intelligence report anticipates a 500% surge in worldwide sales of plant-based foods by 2030. Many restaurants, fast-food chains, and food delivery platforms are now incorporating plant-based meat options into their menus to cater to the preferences of consumers seeking sustainable and meatless choices. This trend encourages wider acceptance of plant-based meats for convenient dining-out options that align with their dietary and environmental concerns, thereby shaping the market dynamics.
