Meat Substitutes Market Report Explores Global Trends & Forecast To 2023

The meat substitutes market is estimated at USD 4.63 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 6.3 billion by 2023. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% during the study period.

The market is primarily driven by factors such as changing trends toward healthy diets, which has led to an increased demand for clean-label products, such as plant-sourced proteins that include tofu and seitan.

Another growth factor can be the increased preference for vegetarian and vegan foods. 

As a result of the vegetarian and vegan food trends, retailers such as Tesco are increasing the availability of meat-free food products in the market. This scenario has led to the demand for meat substitutes.

Factors such as global climatic conditions that affect the production of raw materials such as soy and wheat act as major restraints of the meat substitutes market. The increasing prices of raw materials are an important concern for the meat substitute manufacturers, and this consequently acts as a restraint to the meat substitutes market.
