The 2025-2030 World Outlook for Meat Substitutes
This study covers the world outlook for meat substitutes across more than 190 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region, and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
In this report we define the sales of meat substitutes as including all commonly understood products falling within this broad category, irrespective of product packaging, formulation, size, or form. Companies participating in this industry include A&B Ingredients, AB Foods, LLC, ADF Foods, ADM, All Organic Treasures GmbH, Alpha Foods, Amy's Kitchen, Archer Daniels Midland, Atlantic Natural Foods, Axiom Foods, Bean Supreme, Beyond Meat, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Blue Chip Group, Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods, Boca Foods Company, Bute Island Food (U.K.), Butler Foods, LLC, Campbell Soup Company, Cargill, Cauldron Foods, Cedar Lake Foods, Chez Marie, Inc, CHS, Closed Loop Capital, Conagra Brand, Inc, Corbion Biotech, COSUCRA, Crespel & Deiters, Daloon Foods UK, Ltd, Dee's Wholefoods, DM, DowDuPont, Dragonfly Foods, DuPont, E.I.
