Such trends are expected to encourage key market players to expand their meat-substitutes portfolio.

Growing Inclination Towards Veganism to Accelerate Growth opportunities

The increasing popularity of veganism and velleity towards plant-based (vegan) dietary patterns will boost the meat substitutes market trends. The rapid decline in meat consumption in the developed market of Western Europe and North America is expected to create growth opportunities for the market.

Furthermore, the increasing awareness about the established link between overconsumption of red processed meat to a variety of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, liver disease, lung disease, and kidney disease will further favor market growth in the foreseeable future. The increasing pervasiveness of flexitarians, who are often driven to plant-based meat products because of ethical, environmental and health concerns is likely to fuel the demand for meat substitutes and therefore, promote market growth.

Online Retail Segment will Contribute to Healthy Growth

The mass merchandisers segment is expected to register a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period owing to the wider reach, greater shelf-space, attractive discounts, and bundling strategies. The online-retail segment will witness strong growth impetus owing to increasing knowledge about the benefits of e-commerce and its convenience.
