Alternative Protein Market 2025 | Growing Venture Investments in Alternative Protein Companies Supports the Growth of Alternative Protein Market
The global alternative protein market study presents historical market data in terms of both value and volume (2017 and 2018), estimated current data (2019), and forecasts for 2025
(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 26, 2019 ) According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, in terms of value, the global alternative protein market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2019 to reach $17.9 billion by 2025, while in terms of volume, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2019 to reach 9,787.4 KMT by 2025. The growth of the global alternative protein market is mainly attributed to growing urbanization with new consumer aspiration, rising venture investments in alternative protein companies, innovation in food technology, and environmental sustainability with production and consumption of alternative protein.
Innovation in Food Technology Refined Alternative Proteins for Aspiring Consumers
Recent innovations in food technologies have led to produce new health food ingredients, add specific nutrient or functional ingredients, and modify food compositions. Many countries are already committed, at various stages, to initial nutritional transition. In response to demand from increasingly health conscious consumers, the global trend is for food industries to translate nutritional information into consumer reality by developing innovative food products that provide not only superior sensory appeal, but also nutritional and health benefits. Innovative food is a category of agri-food tech encompassing novel food products and ingredients such as alternative meat (includes plant-based and cell-culture-based), insect protein, alternative sugars, and flavor enhancers. In 2018, this category raised $516 million in funding across 70 deals. Thus, within the space of alternative protein market, food technology revolution will fundamentally disrupt the current market to make protein more sustainable, supporting the growth of alternative proteins market.
Alternative Protein Market by Stage/Type (Insect, Algae, Duckweed, Lab Meat, Pea, Rice, Potato, Corn, Soy, Wheat, Corn, Mycoprotein, Mushrooms), Application, and Geography – Global Forecast to 2025
Key Findings in the Global Alternative Protein Market Study:
Matured Alternative Protein Dominates the Global Alternative Protein Market
The matured alternative protein segment is emerged as the largest product category in the global alternative protein market in 2018 owing to higher consumer acceptance level, presence of large number of manufacturers and their high scale of production, low cost than other types of alternative protein, increased demand for plant-based products, easy availability of raw materials, and large number of applications in various industries.
Emerging Alternative Protein Market
Emerging alternative protein segment encompasses insect, algae, duckweed, and lab meat. Since last few years, there has been growing consumer and investor interest in emerging alternative proteins. As the market is at a nascent stage at this point of time and many companies are start-up actively seeking funding considering the huge potential, the dynamics of this industry are going to change in the next few years. However, these proteins require the development of new value chain and attention to issues such as high production costs, food safety, scalability, and low consumer acceptance. Moreover, non-standardized regulatory framework across the globe, lack of awareness, psychological and ethical barriers, and lack of production technologies are some of the key factors expected to affect uptake of emerging alternative protein product category for next few years.
Among emerging alternative proteins, insect protein accounted for the largest share of the global market in 2018, due to its capability to satisfy the food need with the high nutrition for human consumption, increasing familiarity with insects-as-food, growing acceptance of insects and insect-based food among people, and emergence of large number of insect food companies across the globe.
