Increasing health consciousness propelling consumers to avoid animal-sourced protein will accelerate the expansion of global plant based meat market size over the forecast period. According to Canada Food Guide, protein sources like beans, legumes, tofu, nuts and pulses can easily replace eggs, meat, fish and other dairy products. This has driven several customers to turn to plant based products to replace non-vegetarian meals. Rising environmental concerns regarding carbon footprint and more focus on the protection of animals will help the proliferation of plant based meat industry significantly.

Several government initiatives taken against the use of animal-based products will also encourage the adoption of plant-derived meat across majority of distribution channels worldwide. For instance, the American Medical Association passed a Healthy Food Options in 2017, that requires hospitals in the U.S. to improve health of staff, patients and visitors by providing them with plant-based meals. Jerry Brown, Governor of California signed a landmark bill in 2018 that ensures the patients receive a healthy plant based option.

United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization reports that fish accounts for nearly 16% of protein consumed around the world owing to the upsurge in disposable income among consumers. Fishes cover major sources of our protein consumption but with growing population and challenges regarding the depleting natural resources, efforts to bring an alternative have been on the rise, fueling plant based meat market trends. Impossible Foods, a startup that develops plant derived meat and dairy products, is developing various fish products on high priority owing to less production of such products.

Good Catch, a plant-based seafood provider, is developing plat-based tuna while Ocean Hugger Foods is also offering plant-based raw tuna. Another player in the sector is known to be developing plant-based shrimp and a number of restaurants have started offering sushi based on plant sources. A Singapore based startup has been involved in the development of plant cell based crustaceans which also includes shrimps, lobsters and crabs. Similar initiatives in the seafood segment will substantially drive plant based meat industry outlook.

Distribution channels play an important for the growth of any food product and a wide range of options such as supermarkets, restaurants and online stores offer access to a tremendously vast consumer base. For instance, Beyond had reported a profit of around $10.8 million for the first quarter of 2019 and these profits were considerably driven by the rapid expansion of numerous grocery stores and restaurants selling its plant-based meat products.

Reportedly, 60% of meat will be replaced by plant-based meat products by the year 2040. Meat industries raise billions of animals with trillions of turnover, but the environmental impact it causes will turn the tide for meat sellers, driving consumers towards plant based meat market. Major investments done by supermarket and restaurant chains for developing in-house products will reinforce the industry stance.
