The growth of the meat alternative market is primarily attributed to a widening vegan customer base, in the light of rising awareness about the adverse impact resulting from meat consumption on the environment. Because of its negative effects on the environment and animal welfare, intensive animal husbandry has been criticized by some sections of society. This in turn has led to a shift towards diets that exclude or limit the use of animal products. In addition, growing apprehension about contracting zoonotic diseases has further led to a reduction in consuming meat products.

Consumer awareness of plant-based meat substitutes is rapidly growing, with more people demanding these because of their stated health benefits, such as the prevention of non-communicable disorders, digestive issues, and obesity. As a result, consumers are changing their eating habits and incorporating a healthy diet, which is expected to boost the demand for meat alternatives. Based on all these trends, the global meat alternative market is expected to surge at a high pace during the analysis period.

The Meat Alternative Market in North America is expected to accumulate the highest market share of 56% in 2022. The growth in North America is attributed to the growing millennial population, where the demographic considers the food source, animal welfare issues, and impact on the environment while making decisions related to purchasing. The US market is one of the frontrunners in scaling the demand for meat alternatives, where consumers eat approximately more than 5 billion meat-free dinners, according to a survey by a supermarket.
