Meat Substitute Market Outlook 2025-2034: Key Trends, Growth Drivers, and Market Share

What combination of drivers is leading to accelerated growth in the meat substitute market?
The growing vegan population is expected to fuel the growth of the meat substitute market. Vegans avoid all animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey, due to ethical, environmental, and health concerns. The rising awareness of health risks related to animal products, such as heart disease and cancer, is prompting more people to adopt vegan diets. Meat substitutes provide tasty, nutritious, and convenient alternatives to meat, helping individuals maintain a vegan lifestyle while supporting environmental and ethical causes. For instance, in January 2024, it was reported that the UK's vegan population had reached 2.5 million, with 4.7% of adults following a plant-based diet, an increase of 1.1 million people from 2023 to 2024. The increasing vegan population is driving the growth of the meat substitute market.
