The global meat substitutes market size is estimated to rise from USD 5.88 billion in 2022 to USD 12.30 billion by 2029.

Heightened Demand for Plant-based Protein Foods to Underpin Industry Growth

Stakeholders expect plant-based meat products to gain considerable traction following the need for a sustainable and environment-friendly alternative to meat.
