Amidst rising health and wellness, animal welfare and environmental concerns, people are curtailing animal products consumption from their diets. Therefore, demand for milk and meat substitutes has grown rapidly. Specialty meat products are richer in protein and low in fat or calories.
Likewise, demand for vegan and organic foods is spurring demand for plant-based meat in the market. Growing concerns regarding animal slaughter, as well as no-kill policies being adopted by both NGOs and consumers, are spurring more reliance on plant-based and lab-derived meat ingredients.

A proprietary technology developed by Future Meat Technologies uses animal cells to create non-GMO cultured meat, reducing the need to raise animals and the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
The company has invested heavily in developing proprietary technologies and protein expertise to expand its wide range of tasty and nutritious products with a lower impact on the environment. In addition to these efforts, the firm is exploring technologies that would enable them to create vegan alternatives with similar taste, flavor, and texture to meat.

Changing lifestyles and eating habits have profoundly affected the lives of consumers. Consumers are becoming more dependent on fast foods which contain a small proportion of fiber. Functional ingredients in meat products, such as fiber, have a tremendous impact on our health.
Fiber and protein have become increasingly important as concerns about the keto diet grow. A daily diet rich in fiber is said to prevent a wide variety of unhealthy problems such as heart disease, digestive problems, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Due to this, the market is experiencing a surge in demand for fiber-rich and protein-rich specialty meat ingredients, growing at around 4% CAGR.
Preserving meat helps to prevent spoilage by inhibiting microbial growth, slowing enzyme activity, and preventing fatty acids from oxidizing, which causes rancidity. A market share of around 30% is projected for this segment.
The shelf life of meat products is affected by a variety of factors, including safety and quality requirements. Factors such as cold storage, freezing, thawing, vacuum packaging, canning, drying, and fermentation are best while preserving the meat for the long run.
Mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and the development of new products are just some of the strategies used by market players to stay competitive and expand their market footprints in the industry. Market leaders focus on growing their customer base to increase their market share.
