The report "Plant Based Meat Market by Raw Material (Soy, Wheat, and Pea), by Product (Burger Patties, Sausages, Strips & Nuggets, and Meatballs), and Distribution Channel (Retail Outlets, Foodservice, E-commerce) - Global Forecast to 2030", the market is estimated to be USD 14.7 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 28.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.8% during the forecast period. Advances in plant-based meat products is attracting a great deal of customer and national press attention, as well as filling inventory in supermarket aisles and food service menus. We've already seen innovative new products and companies appear across categories. However, we may be on the verge of a revolution in food technology that could accelerate this trend exponentially. Innovations such as synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, selective breeding and antibiotics have enabled food production to keep pace with population growth since the 'Green Revolution' of the 1930s to 1960s.
However, those productivity gains are limited. Animal farming is inherently inefficient, especially as regards conversion of feeds. According to the study published by World Resources Institute (WRI), in 2016, even the most efficient meat source, chicken, converts to animal protein only around 11 percent of gross feed energy. It is gradually understood that this inefficiency has produced a mechanism that is ready to shake. In addition, this would produce a significant shift in productivity at a fraction of the expense and with much less detrimental effects.
