The pea segment is projected to be the fastest-growing in the plant-based meat market during the forecast period.

Pea protein is gaining popularity among plant-based meat manufacturers at a global level owing to its high protein content, and health benefits offered such as reduced cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Leading players in the global plant-based meat industry are now shifting their interest toward pea and have also started developing pea-based meat products such as patties, sausages, and slides, which have a high protein value. For instance, in May 2019, Lightlife (US), an alternative protein company, launched a pea-based meat burger to replace beef burgers. In addition to this, Good Catch Foods’ fish-free tuna and the UK-based Nomad Foods’ Green Cuisine line (that includes meatless burgers, sausages, and Swedish meatballs) also include pea as one of the key ingredients.

The burger patties segment is projected to record the fastest growth during the forecast period.

Burger patties are one of the most popular plant-based meat products available in the market. Impossible Foods (US) and Beyond Meat (US) are the two leading market players that are offering burger patties. These companies are backed by a robust distribution network, which enables them to cater to the demand for burger patties across the US. The expansion of distribution channels of these key players and the rising sales of burgers are projected to drive the global plant-based meat market. Impossible Foods (US) has a widespread presence in the US market, with its products being distributed in over 4000 locations in the country. Apart from this, Beyond Meat (US), in 2018, formed a partnership with PHW Group (Germany) for the distribution of its plant-based burgers in Europe.
