Soy Based Meat Demand to Boost the India Meat Substitutes Market

Rising health consciousness, increasing product offerings of meat substitutes, and government initiatives regarding the benefits of meat substitutes are the leading factors driving the Indian meat substitutes market during the projected period.


According to TechSci Research report, “India Meat Substitutes Market – By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2018-2028F,” the increasing heath consciousness, growing need for sustainable eatables, rising awareness among consumers regarding the importance of food nutrition, etc., are fueling the overall sales of this market in India. Other significant factors, such as rising demand for soy-based meat products and increasing product launches by meat substitutes companies, are also contributing to the market growth.

Basically, a meat substitute is usually made from plants. It is produced to have the same texture, flavor, and appearance as traditional meat made from animals. Due to its decreased calorie and saturated fat content, this product is healthier than traditional meat. Some of the substances utilized in meat substitutes include coconut oil, vegetable protein extract, and beet juice. When taken in moderation as part of a balanced diet, meat substitute is healthier. In India, plant-based meat substitutes are widely trendy. The plant-based diet has expanded beyond only nuts and leafy greens with the addition of mushrooms, peas, jackfruits, and tempeh to kebabs, burger patties, biryani, keema, and curries. Plant-based meats have a place on the kitchen shelves, ready to be steaked, minced, and turned into tikkas.

Currently, e-commerce platforms, hotels, restaurants, and grocery stores in India sell meat alternatives. Due to the increasing awareness of these foods and the significant increase in the population living in cities, these food products are likely to gain some solid traction in India. Moreover, celebrities and social media influencers have contributed significantly to raising awareness of the value of plant-based meat. The future of plant-based meat in India is being supported by an increase in health-related issues as well as the rising acceptance of healthy substitutes. In turn, this can lead to significant development potential in the ensuing years.

In addition to vegetarians and vegans, hard-core non-vegetarians are experimenting with the textures and flavors of meat substitutes while still sticking to their preferred meats. However, the health advantages of eating these foods and sustainable eating have emerged as the main drivers of this shifting preference. The health advantages of plant-based diets, such as consuming fewer calories, avoiding harmful fats, boosting immunity, improving heart health, and controlling blood pressure, are prompting more people to consider giving up meat.

The main issue in the market for meat alternatives is that consumer awareness of how eating meat affects the environment is growing slowly. Hence, the government has also been taking several initiatives to promote the concept of meat substitutes in India. For instance, Eat Right India was established by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) with the goal of assisting individuals in making healthy decisions and establishing a sustainable diet that emphasizes plant-based alternatives to combat climate change.
