Market Overview

The global artificial meat market size was valued at USD 228.4 million in 2023 and is expected to Project at USD 6395.78 Million by 2032 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.67% from 2024 to 2032.

Rising consumption of meat, coupled with increasing demand for nutritious meat and rising spending power, drives the market growth.

Rising concern about animal welfare and environmental sustainability and rapid innovation in cellular agriculture provides an impetus to the market growth. However, in the last few years, the consumer preference has been shifting from animal-based protein to plant-based protein as they offer umpteen advantages, including reducing body weight, cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and chances of heart diseases. Animal agriculture leads to methane emissions, which is considered one of the leading causes of climate change. Increasing awareness among the customer regarding climate change and rising consumption of plant-based protein hamper market growth.
