The income squeeze has continued to exert pressure on the meat substitute market, with sales falling steeply in 2023. The relative affordability of processed meat, vegetables and legumes compared to meat substitutes will have curbed the appeal of meat substitutes.
Better-for-you holds wide appeal
Perceptions that eating less meat is better for your health are among key drivers behind the meat reduction trend. This strong expectation of healthiness points to a pressing need for brands to ensure that the nutritional credentials of their products hold up to scrutiny.
Allay concerns about processing
Meat substitute products have been called out in the recent dialogue about ultra-processed foods. This points to a pressing need for brands to address such concerns and demonstrate an openness about the manufacturing process to keep consumers engaged with the meat substitute industry.
