Of all the alternative protein options that are taking the market by storm , plant-based protein market has gained the bulk of investments, according to data released by The Good Food Institute Asia Pacific.
Last year in 2020, plant based protein recorded USD2.1bil investments (paired together with plant-based egg and dairy) and USD590mil for fermentation companies, compared to USD360mil for cultivated meat.
The global pandemic has accelerated a shift towards plant proteins that was already gaining steam across Asia Pacific. An increasing number of Asians are embracing plant-based meats and the Asia Pacific region is set to have the largest share of the plant-based market by 2025.
Although plant-based meats are not actually new in some parts of Asia as old-school soy based mock , tofu have been around for long, the difference now is that this next generation of plant based meats have reeled in not only vegan and vegetarian fans but also meat-eaters who want to make meaningful changes to their diets !
Many versions of plant based protein are rapidly developing in Asia - from meat to dairy alternatives . These new innovations will need to know how to broaden the mass market appeal of their product and expand its reach through multiple sales channels.
Further recent developments in fermentation solutions will help plant based innovators come up with healthier and tastier creations.
