Report Description
The Plant-Based Food market stood at US$ 23 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.87% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The global meat and dairy sector are currently going through an unprecedented level of competition and disruption, driven by the growth of viable plant-based alternatives across many categories. People are reducing or eliminating animal products from their diet for a variety of reasons. Some want to cut back on cholesterol, others may be concerned about animal welfare, and some tend to worry about the effect of animal agriculture on the environment. Whatever the reason may be, consumers globally are shifting to a plant-based food diet. There is a seismic shift occurring in eating habits, creating a significant market opportunity for plant-based foods. Most important, many kinds of research reveal that for consumers, consuming plant-based foods has moved beyond experimentation into a permanent change brought on by health, lifestyle, and social factors. Thus, following are market dynamics that discuss the plant-based food product aspects in the market.
Plant-based foods product categories are in the beginning stages of the explosive growth. For example, retail sales of plant-based creamer, plant-based cheese, and plant-based cheese, all these categories have witnessed a significant growth in the past year. Due to the alignment of market factors between these emerging categories and the historic trajectory of the plant-based foods sector, one could expect to see these other plant-based dairy categories, as well as plant-based milk and meat, reach similar levels of ubiquity in the coming years.
Climate change is recognized as a significant public health issue that will impact on food security. One of the major contributors to global warming is the livestock industry, and, relative to plant-based agriculture, meat production has a much higher environmental impact in relation to freshwater use, amount of land required, and waste products generated.
