Market Growth Drivers
An exponential surge in the demand for plant-based meat substitutes due to nutritive and ecological aspects is anticipated to offer new growth avenues for the meat substitutes industry over the forecast period. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the animal-based diet is more damaging to the environment than a plant-based diet. Moreover, the latter is being considered as a healthy diet pattern these days owing to its enhanced nutritive mass & eco-friendly feature. Apparently, the meat emits more greenhouse gases and requires more land space & nitrogen, thereby adversely affecting both terrestrial & aquatic life.
Reportedly, research studies have demonstrated that huge consumption of red, as well as processed meat raises the risk of colorectal cancer and heart ailment. According to EAT lancet, a rise in the plant-based diet and reduction in the intake of meat-based products can help in environmental protection and retention of good health, vitality, and vigor.
For the record, the introduction of plant-based meat alternatives that imitate the taste, appearance, and texture of meat products has surpassed 4,400 across the globe since 2015. Moreover, according to a study conducted by NCBI in 2019, a comparison of the presence of nutrients & health star rating per 100 gram for both plant-based product & meat-based products was done based on statistical parameters including mean, median, and standard deviation.
Based on the statistical modeling, NCBI derived that plant-based food items comprised low kilojoules as compared to meat based food products. Additionally, animal-based food items contained more saturated fat than plant-based food products. Furthermore, plant-based food items contained a high proportion of carbohydrates, dietary fibers, and sugars as compared to meat products. Even sodium in plant-based food items was six times greater in comparison to meat-based food products. All these aspects are anticipated to embellish the growth of the meat substitutes industry over the forthcoming years.
For the uninitiated, plant-based diet intake is expected to be a key dietary strategy across the globe with the view for benefitting the environment and pursuit & purview for improving human health.
Australia To Make Notable Contributions Towards Overall Market Growth By 2025
