Driving Factors

Plant-based meat is gaining popularity because it is much healthier than traditional meat. Plant-based meat is high in fibre and vitamins while being low in saturated fat and cholesterol. It is also environmentally friendly because it requires less water and land to produce. Furthermore, rising health concerns about obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases caused by the high-fat content of animal-based meat products are expected to drive demand for plant-based meat in the coming years. This is due to the high protein and low-calorie content of plant-based meat products. Consumer awareness of plant-based non-veg substitutes is rapidly growing, with more customers desiring these goods due to health benefits, such as the avoidance of noncommunicable diseases, digestion issues, and obesity. These are the major factors to boost the market during the forecast period.

 

Restraining Factors

Plant-based meat products are more expensive than animal-based meat products due to high production and raw material costs, which will limit the growth of the plant-based meat market. Although companies are attempting to lower the prices of plant-based meat products, the plant-based industry is being hampered by the high prices of plant-based meat over conventional meat.

 

In comparison to animal meat products, plant-based meat is overpriced, which may limit market penetration in price-sensitive countries such as India and China. Plant-based meat products may contain higher levels of sodium than animal meat, which may limit the market's growth.
