→ Insights
Rising interest in plant-based proteins, combined with innovations in food processing, is expanding the appeal of meat alternatives beyond vegetarian and vegan consumers. Products made from soy, pea, wheat protein, jackfruit, and mycoprotein are gaining traction due to their ability to mimic the taste and texture of real meat. Additionally, companies are investing in clean-label, non-GMO, and fortified products to cater to health-conscious shoppers. However, challenges such as premium pricing and limited availability in developing markets persist.
