The global plant-based seafood market is expected to register an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. Plant-based seafood is a vegan substitute for seafood with a similar color, texture, appearance, and flavor. It is typically made by combining soy, starch, vegetable extracts, edible oils, and other seasonings with plant protein isolates. These raw materials are further processed with additives and coloring agents to achieve a flavor and texture resembling fish, shrimp, crabs, and other foods. As they aid in lowering the increased consumption of seafood and thus ease pressure on the world's diminishing fisheries, plant-based seafood products are ecologically sustainable.
Additionally, as more people adopt healthy lifestyles, there may be more opportunities in the market for plant-based seafood to expand in the years to come. The demand for plant-based seafood may face additional challenges soon due to a lack of awareness that could prevent it from becoming more versatile.
Rising Food Sensitivity Cases Drive Market Growth
Consumers generally are more aware of their overall wellness and health. An increasing number of consumers worldwide prefer plant-based seafood products owing to their lack of allergens, absence of mercury, purity as vegan food, safety, lack of side effects, and long shelf lives. Products made from plants that resemble seafood are gaining popularity, especially as more and more people opt for healthy lifestyles. The demand for various protein sources has increased as more people have turned their attention to fitness. The vegan or vegetarian population is especially interested in plant-based protein options. Fish made from plants is thought to be the best option for vegans to meet their protein needs.
Increasing Awareness Regarding Welfare of Animals and Environment is Driving The Market Growth
Numerous international organizations are launching campaigns to raise awareness of the advantages of adopting a plant-based diet for your health, the welfare of animals, and the environment as a whole. For instance, Compassion in World Farming, a U.K.-based organization, has started a campaign called Rethink Fish that calls on supporters to increase pressure on the government to improve conditions for fish. These campaigns aim to inform the public about animal cruelty and the risks that animals bred unhygienically can pose to the environment and human health. This will likely cause the demand for fish made from plants to increase over the next few years.
Challenge In Offering The Same Taste as Seafood
It is difficult for the manufacturers to replicate the flavor and texture of authentic seafood in plant-based seafood. Plant-based seafood does not have a chance of entering the mainstream until it meets the consumer expectations. To successfully create delicious plant-based seafood, it is necessary to use the best plant-based ingredients and have a thorough understanding of how those ingredients interact with one another and respond to processing and cooking.
