Lab-grown Meat Market by Type (Beef, Poultry, Pork, Seafood), Distribution Channel (Business-to-Business, Business-to-Consumer), Application (Nuggets, Burger Patties, Meatballs, Steak, Hot Dogs & Sausages)—Global Forecast to 2035
Report ID: MRFB - 104607 Pages: 158 Nov-2022 Formats*: PDF Category: Food and Beverages Delivery: 2 to 4 Hours Download Free Sample ReportThe Lab-grown Meat Market is projected to reach $1.99 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 21.4% during the forecast period of 2025–2035. Factors such as technological advancements in the production of lab-grown meat, increasing venture investments in the lab-grown meat industry, growing focus on animal welfare, increasing demand for animal-based processed food products, and increasing demand for allergen-free foods are driving the growth of this market. However, the high demand for plant-based protein, a lack of a standardized regulatory framework for lab-grown meat, psychological barriers to consuming cultured meat as food, and the growing vegan population restrain the growth of this market to some extent. In addition, the increasing demand for alternative proteins and growing per capita meat consumption provide significant growth opportunities for lab-grown meat manufacturers. Key trends such as clean eating and sustainable foods are positively impacting the growth lab-grown meat market/cultured meat market.
Increasing Venture Investments in the Lab-Grown Meat Industry
In recent years, the global livestock industry has been subjected to immense scrutiny due to the scale of its environmental, ethical, and human health impacts. Nowadays, the advantages of lab-grown meat over farm meat products, such as lower greenhouse gas emissions, higher nutritional value, and slaughter-free production, have piqued consumers’ interest in lab-grown meat products. According to Good Food Institute, Inc., around 80% of people in the U.S. and the U.K. are more interested in lab-grown meat than in field/conventional meat. Moreover, with the rising demand for lab-grown meat, meat product manufacturers are investing heavily in the research & development of cultured meat. Companies across the food value chain, from producers to retailers, are also investing in the lab-grown meat industry. Some companies hedge against or prepare for the demand for animal products to decline and invest in companies that produce their alternatives. Market players have received investments or funding from several high-profile individuals, financial investors, and companies in the last few years. In 2020, the lab-grown meat industry contracted due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, in 2021, the industry’s investor base grew by 62%, reaching 458 unique investors, and the total investment capital raised reached USD 1,930.0 million (Source: GFI Report). Most of the investment (more than one-third of the global investment) in lab-grown meat is concentrated in Israel.
