Drivers and Restraints

Surging Demand for Meaty Flavor in Processed Foods to Provide Lucrative Opportunities

The demand for meaty flavor has become pronounced globally with “umami” setting the trend among the end-users. Amidst the sedentary and hectic lifestyle, the market presence of ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook meals has provided an impetus to the industry growth. Moreover, the growth of the middle-class population across emerging economies has encouraged meat extract manufacturing companies to augment their production. According to the 2018 Global Economic Development Report at Brookings, the global middle-class in 2030 could have 5.41 billion people. Additionally, consumers have exhibited an inclination for animal meat products as a potential source of protein. Food Innovation Australia Ltd. (FIAL) claims India and China will contribute a 47% surge in global protein consumption by 2025.

The trend for plant-based substitutes, along with the high vegan population, could impede the market growth of meat extract.
