Market for Meat Alternatives to Reach $17.5 Billion by 2027
The global market for meat substitutes is anticipated to develop at a CAGR of 15.1% from 2020 to 2027 in order to reach $17.5 billion by that time, according to the most recent report from Meticulous Research®. One of the main reasons influencing the growth of this market is the rising intolerance for animal proteins, rising consumer awareness of healthy food, rising numbers of vegans and vegetarians, and rising investment and venture capital funding. Additionally, the market's players can anticipate to benefit from ongoing product innovation, increased R&D by meat substitute and protein alternative producers, and rising demand for vegan products in emerging nations. However, some people's desire for animal-based, soy-free, and gluten-free products as well as expensive meat substitutes are predicted to impede the acceptance of meat substitutes.
Based on product type, the meat substitute market is segmented into tofu, TVP, tempeh, seitan, burger patties, sausages, ground meat, meatballs, nuggets, crumbles, and other meat substitutes. In 2019, the tofu segment accounted for the largest share of the global meat substitute market. Due to its low cost, easy availability, and high nutritional & medicinal value, tofu dominated the meat substitute market.

Based on source, the global meat substitute market is segmented into soy protein, wheat protein, almond protein, pea protein, rice protein, and other sources. In 2019, the soy protein segment commanded the largest share of the overall meat substitutes market. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to its easy availability, lower cost, increasing demand for soy-based meat alternative products, higher consumer acceptance level, and increasing application of soy protein in various meat substitutes.
