As we look to the future, we expect consumers to be savvier than ever, and in search for the healthiest, most convenient and most eco-friendly food options. We believe a growing segment will aim to make decisions about what they buy based on what aligns with their values. Already, these drivers have resulted in higher-than-ever demand for alternatives to animal products.
Over the next five years, the global market for plant-based meat alternatives is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 17%1.
66% of this market is comprised of frozen products that are often lacking when it comes to taste and texture. Refrigerated products, however, are growing in popularity, and have seen an annual growth rate of 63%2.
