The cultured meat market size was valued at $1.64 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $2788.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 95.8% from 2022 to 2030.
Cultured meat, also known as in vitro meat, is a subtype of artificial meat and is produced by tissue engineering technology and cellular agriculture. Humans have been dependent on meat to meet their nutritional requirements, as meat serves as an ideal source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, protein, and iron. The in vitro meat is grown in the laboratory by harvesting muscle cells from animal in the culture media for growth and proliferation.
Multiple benefits associated with cultured meat, including low environmental impact, eliminating the need to raise animals, and decrease in public health risks boost the global cultured meat market growth. Cultured meat can be seen as alternative protein product. Consumers are shifting their focus toward adapting to a more nutritional diet that is aimed at greater sustainable lifestyle and has lesser dependency on animal proteins. In addition, individuals that are allergic to animal-based proteins are the major consumer base for alternative proteins.
Thus, increase in number of such individuals acts as a major driver of the cultured meat market. Moreover, rise in concerns about animal welfare and environmental awareness is expected to boost the demand for lab-grown meat. Recently, the commercial production of cultured meat has met the growing demand for meat products and lowered down the stress on conventional meat sources., which is anticipated to support animal welfare. Although the product market is expected to exhibit substantial growth, high cost of production remains a key challenge for market players. In the process of production, the growth medium is used to stimulate cell growth. This step incurs additional costs, which limits the cultured meat production.
On the contrary, scientists are actively working to reduce the cost of production. Future Meat Technology, a lab-grown meat start-up, is trying to get the price down to a commercial level, its timeline to meet this goal has changed from 2020 to more recently aiming for 2022. In 2013, the first cell-based burger was unveiled by Mosa Meat that costs almost around $400,000. It shows that the cost for production is high currently, but it may be lowered in future can this challenge can be solved by innovating cost reducing processes.
