Global Cultured Meat Market Size Zooming 11.5X to Surpass USD 4.2 Billion by 2030
Global Cultured Meat Market is flourishing because of the increasing demand for meat products along with growing awareness about animal rights and negative impact of animal farming industry on environment.
Report Ocean, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the Global Cultured Meat Market size at USD 364.31 million in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the Global Cultured Meat Market size to boom at a robust CAGR of 41.81% reaching a value of USD 4,202.36 million by 2030. Growing awareness about animal rights and growing monetary assistance for the lab-grown meat sector owing to lower carbon footprint compared to livestock industry are two key growth drivers for the Global Cultured Meat Market. Furthermore, growing consumer health consciousness and incidences of zoonotic diseases are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the players in the Global Cultured Meat Market.
Opportunity: Rising Concerns Surrounding Animal Rights and Climate Impact
According to research by Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, livestock industry depletes freshwater resources, ruins grasslands and forests, and erodes soil. Pollution, fertilizer runoff, and animal feces suffocate coral reefs and create dead zones along coastlines. Beef is the food with the biggest carbon footprint, releasing an amazing 99 kilos of CO2e every kilogram of finished meat product, according to measures of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). As a result, cultured meat is emerging as an effective alternative to animal meat as it eliminates animal slaughter and lowers environmental impact. It, in turn, is projected to drive the Global Cultured Meat Market.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Global Cultured Meat Market
The escalating geopolitical tensions are having a mixed impact on the Global Cultured Meat Market. Conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war or genocide acts such as Israel's military action on Palestine are leading to food insecurity. Therefore, in conflict-torn areas where livestock agriculture is challenging, alternative protein sources are becoming a profitable way to address food security concerns. Unfortunately, the geopolitical tensions hindered research and development efforts related to cultured meat in various nations, including Israel, because of a shortage of funding and human capital, which restrained the expansion of the global cultured meat industry.
