lab-based meat market size is predicted to reach USD 22.8 million with a growing CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 - 2032. Lab-based meat is also known as cultured meat, clean meat, in vitro meat, and synthetic meat which is produced by the in-vitro cultivation of animal cells. By accumulating the cells from animals and develop them in an enriched and favorable culture medium, lab-based meat will be produced. As it is grown in an aseptic and strictly controlled environment, the final meat produced is free from any harmful organisms.
This meat has various advantages over conventional meat such as being environmental-friendly, healthy, and free from food food-borne and nutrition-related diseases. The production of this cultured meat reduces the sacrification of animals, the land, water, and energy usage reductions. Moreover, a great man Abdul Qahir Qamar belonging to the International Islamic Fiqh Academy states that “cultured meat will not be considered meat from live animals, but will be cultured meat” which is increasing the demand for the global cultured market. The cells are derived from dogs, pigs, and other haram animals, and their meat is considered vegetative and is similar to yogurt and other fermented pickles.
COVID-19 Analysis
Before the COVID-19 pandemic occurs, the lab-based market is in high demand over the global market. But due to the COVID-19, the lockdowns and regulations imposed by the government lead to a decline in the market. To control the spread of the coronavirus, the government has imposed stringent regulations like semi or full lockdowns, maintaining social distance, business sectors, and education sectors off, limited visits to out, and many more.
The consumption of meat was highly declined for the first two quarters of 2020 due to the spreading of the virus was very fast and people wish to stay in their houses itself and also most of them avoids non-vegetarian and outside foods to control the spread. But later due to the awareness among the consumers regarding the health consciousness behind the nutrient foods and the need of increasing immunity as the high immuned persons cannot suffer severely with coronavirus. Rapidly, the growth of the lab-based meat market increases.
Increasing meat consumption, rising demand for alternative proteins by food processors, focus on environmental sustainability, and technological innovations in cellular agriculture are the major factors driving the growth of the lab-based meat market. The rising demand and supply gap for meat results in focusing on alternative meat sources. The rise in growth potential and expectancy of high-profit realization leads to an increase in investments for the lab-based market. The rate of urbanization followed by per capita income is one of the driving factors of meat consumption. This cultured meat becomes very popular compared to the traditional method as the cultured meat requires less land by 99%, 90% less water, and 45% less energy compared to traditional one.
From the muscle tissue of the Vitro meat culture, various types of processed meat products are manufactured which opposes the traditional method of slaughtering animals. Hence it is predicted to propel the growth of the market. This meat is produced through Vivo cultivation of live animals adult muscle stem cells that result in muscle tissue with high nutrients growth culture medium. This feature is more advantageous than the traditional method and is expected to boost the lab-based market growth.
Rising consumer preference for plant-based protein, high capital, and lack of awareness among consumers regarding the benefits of lab-based meat is hindering the market growth. Manufacturing of this meat is very expensive and stringent regulations are restraining the market.
Launching innovations and research on cultured meat products may create opportunities to accelerate the growth of the lab-based meat market.
Consumer skepticism toward lab-based meat is one of the major challenges faced by key players. To develop the high cost-effective growth media for feeding cells, to develop better scaffolding materials that can shape generated tissues into meat and bioreactor platforms which increases the production of lab-based meat on a larger scale. High investment is required to the production of cultured meat is the major challenge of the market.
