United Kingdom Vegan Meat Market Trends



  • Growing plant-based meat substitutes is driving the market growth


The United Kingdom consumer base's growing consciousness of health and well-being is fueling the market for vegan meat alternatives. Given that soy can enhance the final product's water absorption, solubility, emulsification, viscosity, anti-oxidation, and texture, its use in plant-based meat substitutes is expected to grow in the years to come. The market for plant-based meat substitutes is constantly growing, broadening, and becoming more diverse. The market for plant-based poultry, hog, and shellfish is expanding together with that of plant-based beef. The exponential expansion of chilled plant-based meat is expected to continue over the projection period. Price is one of the main market constraints. In price-sensitive economies, the lack of economic sustainability of plant-based meat in comparison to animal-based meat will probably restrict its growth.


Furthermore, a sizeable section of the populace in the United Kingdom is concerned about environmental problems like deforestation, climate change, and the effects of animal agriculture on the environment. Consumer awareness of non-vegetarian plant-based alternatives is growing quickly, which drives the market CAGR. Consumers are drawn to these products because they offer health benefits such as preventing non-communicable diseases, digestive problems, and obesity. Meat substitutes made from plants are just as tasty and high in vital nutrients as their animal-derived counterparts. Vegetarians can, therefore, readily eat proteins, which aids in maintaining their ideal nutritional values and healthy lifestyle. The high cost of the existing situation keeps the market from growing; thus, producers are trying to lower the price by providing plant-based meat substitutes, which the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates to have been 2,650.8 million metric tons. The projection from the FAO, which was 9 million tones short of the record established in 2016, indicated that cereal production will reach 2,597 million tons globally in 2017. The FAO's Cereal Supply and Demand Brief offer a current view of the global cereal market and is enhanced by a thorough analysis of cereal production processes.
