Surging Need to Reduce Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas Emission will Aid Growth

The rising concerns of food security are expected to augment the meat substitutes market growth in the upcoming years. As per United Nations report, the population worldwide is anticipated to reach 9.8 billion by the end of 2050. As the production of meat is highly resource-intensive, sustaining such an enormous population is not feasible only on animal meat. Also, it is not good for the environment as around 15% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas is emitted from the production of livestock. Therefore, numerous companies are striving persistently to control the production of unique items and increase sustainability. However, the lower acceptance of meat analogues may hamper their demand.

Partnerships and New Product Development — Vital Strategies of Key Companies

The market for meat analogues is fragmented with the presence of a large number of prominent companies worldwide.
