Seitan is a protein made from wheat gluten. It came from Asian cuisines and made its way to North America in the late 20th century through small vegetarian and macrobiotic groups. At first, it was only sold in small amounts at health food stores. But as more people became interested in diets that are high in protein and good for the environment, it became part of the larger plant-based movement. Seitan can now feel like meat thanks to new ways of processing and flavoring it. Packaged, ready-to-cook versions have also made it more popular with regular people and in supermarkets.
The seitan market is changing because more people are buying clean-label products with simple ingredients, more flexitarians are joining vegans, and more stores, online platforms, and foodservice partnerships are selling it. Top companies focus on long-term growth, building a real brand, and coming up with new products like sausages, deli slices, and roasts. There is moderate but growing competition because of texture, flavor, ingredient transparency, and alternative plant-based proteins. Challenges include gluten restrictions and the need to meet mainstream taste expectations.

The U.S. seitan market is helped by more people eating flexitarian and wanting high-protein, versatile plant foods, but it has a lot of competition from other proteins. People now care about price, nutrition, and how easy the ingredients are to understand as much as how new the product is. They prefer labels that are clear and easy to read. Grocery store private labels, natural chains, and fast-casual restaurants all help people see the products, but shipping costs slow down the growth of e-commerce. More and more, brands are focusing on seitan's own unique flavor by using smoked, marinated, and globally inspired styles instead of just copying meat. People who are interested in fitness like its macro profile, but gluten avoidance is still the biggest problem. For seitan to be a regular protein in bowls, sandwiches, and BBQ instead of just a niche vegan item, it needs to be affordable, low in sodium, and easy for chefs to work with.List of Key Companies Profiled
