The cultured meat industry is a sector of the global food market that focuses on the production of animal-derived products through scientific and cell-culturing processes. Also known as lab-grown, synthesized, or in-vitro meat, these products offer an alternative to traditional meat product sources, especially in the context of sustainability and environmental conservation. Uniquely, cultured meat has the potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts associated with conventional livestock farming, paving the way for a more sustainable future in food production. The cultured meat market has several influencing growth factors, which include rising demand for alternative proteins globally and increasing emphasis on animal welfare and environmental awareness. Ongoing developments in the field of cellular agriculture support this upward growth of the market. However, the cultured meat market faces challenges and limitations, such as the high set-up costs of cultured meat production. Additionally, the market faces regulatory hurdles globally, as considerable variation exists in legal frameworks governing engineered food products. Public perception and acceptance of cultured meat as a viable alternative to conventionally sourced products also present a significant challenge, requiring extensive education and marketing efforts. On the other hand, potential opportunities within the cultured market are vast owing to increasing new product launches with diversity in meat types and growing government support for promoting environmental sustainability in meat production. As the market evolves, technological innovations in scaling production and reducing costs represent promising opportunities for companies.
