Increased prevalence of such disorders improves overall wellbeing and wellness, which in turn would fuel growth in the industry.
The quick development of the foodservice industry and the enticing advertisement and advertising strategies of vegetarian firms have also had a positive influence on the global demand growth. But a steady spike in novel releases of low-cholesterol meat products such as leans in emerging markets limits the expansion of the demand for meat substitutes. On the opposite, growing health issues have raised the number of customers in developing countries who favour vegetarian products, which is expected to provide industry leaders with attractive opportunities to introduce groundbreaking meat substitution products in future years.
