However, factors such as the comparatively higher price range of meat substitutes, significant preference for animal-based products, and consumer preference for soy and gluten-free products are expected to hinder the growth of this market to a notable extent.

The plant-based food market is segmented based on source, type, distribution channel, and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the market at the country level.

Based on type, the plant-based food market is segmented into dairy alternatives, meat substitutes, meals, baked goods, confectionery, RTD beverages, eggs substitutes, seafood substitutes, and others. In 2022, the dairy alternatives segment is expected to account for the largest share of the plant-based food market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to factors, such as the increasing number of lactose intolerant people, the growing ethical concerns amongst consumers about animal abuse in modern dairy farming practices, and the nutritional benefits offered by plant-based dairy products. However, the seafood substitute segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing consumer demand for vegan seafood, the rising number of investments and food innovations in species-specific seafood alternatives, and the increasing number of new product launches.

Based on source, the plant-based food market is segmented into soy, almond, wheat, pea, rice protein, and others. In 2022, the soy segment is expected to account for the largest share of the plant-based food market. The large share of this segment is attributed to factors such as the easy and wide availability of raw materials, lower cost compared to other sources, significant demand from meat alternatives manufacturers, higher consumer acceptance level, and its wide range of applications in numerous food & beverage sectors, including meat, dairy alternative, and bakery. However, the pea segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing desire amongst consumers to find sustainable and good tasting alternatives to animal-based proteins and the rising number of investments from leading manufacturers to increase pea protein production. In addition, peas are allergen-free, gluten-free, and lactose-free, which further increases the demand for pea-based food.

Based on distribution channel, the plant-based food market is segmented into business to business (B2B) and business to customers (B2C). In 2022, the B2C distribution channel segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the plant-based food market. The large share of this segment is attributed to factors such as the increased sales of plant-based food in well-established supermarkets and hypermarkets chains, consumers’ preference for shopping from brick-and-mortar grocers due to easy access and availability, and the increasing consumer expenses on vegan food products. This segment is also expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to the rapidly growing online retail sector.

Based on geography, the plant-based food market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2022, North America is expected to account for the major share of the plant-based food market. The leading position of North America in the plant-based food market is attributed to factors such as the high awareness regarding the importance of protein-rich diets, increased health consciousness amongst consumers, a well-established food sector, higher adoption of technological advancements in the food & beverage industry, and significant investments in the plant-based sector. However, the Asia-Pacific plant-based food market is developing and expanding significantly. The market in Asia-Pacific is demonstrating signs of strong growth in the future. The high market growth in Asia-Pacific is attributed to factors such as the growing adoption of emerging technologies for product innovation, collaborations between international and domestic food companies, increasing R&D investments by governments in the food sector, presence of a large number of key players in the market, and the rising number of vegan restaurants.
