New York, Oct. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Increase in awareness related to health, rising obesity in the urban population and the diseases associated with obesity, increasing in deaths caused by obesity and increasing need for a healthy and environmentally friendly meat substitutes are key factors contributing to high CAGR of Plant-based Meat during forecast period.
According to the current analysis of Reports and Data, the global plant-based Meat market was valued at USD 10.10 Billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 30.92 Billion by the year 2026, at a CAGR of 14.8%. Plant-based meat products are products that are made to mimic the properties of animal meat but are comparatively healthier and environmentally friendly. These are produced to resemble the look, smell, and taste of animal meat. However, producing them is difficult owing to the molecular complexity of animal meat. These products play a crucial role in curbing the problem of obesity prevalence in urban regions. Due to increased disposable income, raised standard of living and inclination towards fast-foods, the health of the overall population is deteriorating. Animal meat consists of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, cholesterol, and assorted proteins. Excess consumption of animal meat makes it difficult to maintain a healthy weight which can result in overweight or obesity.
According to the National Institute of Health, an estimated 300,000 deaths occur every year due to overweight and obesity. Obesity can lead to various health issues like increased risk of heart disease and diabetes; increase the death risk, increased risk of cancer and foodborne illness. Additionally, excess consumption of meat causes an imbalance in the ecosystem as a higher number of animals are killed for human consumption. According to a report, 56 billion land animals are killed every year for meeting the demand for meat while above 9 billion animals being slaughter every year in the United States alone. The United States Department of Agriculture revealed around 9.59 billion land animals were slaughter for human consumption in the year 2018. Moreover, a detailed study by Counting Animals stated that 3.8 billion finned fish and 43.1 billion shellfish were slaughtered to support the United States food supply in 2013.
In European and North American countries, the consumption of meat is much higher than the developing regions like India, China, and Brazil. In India, due to religious reasons, 31% of the total population is vegetarian while in Europe only 10% are considered to be vegetarian. With an increase in the demand for healthy and environmentally friendly products, increasing awareness regarding health issues associated with animal meat consumption, increasing suppliers for this industry and increasing inclination towards vegetarianism is expected to propel the growth of this industry. However, these products are grey in colour which looks unattractive and is extremely processed along with additives as compared to animal meat. These factors are expected to hamper the growth of this industry during the forecast period.
