Global Cultivated Meat Market Definition

The production of Cultivated Meat is an emerging process to produce animal meat in laboratories using tissue engineering techniques. This method of producing meat includes a Vitro culture of the animal muscle tissue rather than slaughtering animals to obtain meat for consumption. Cultivated Meat is also known as clean meat, in vitro meat, and synthetic meat. Production of Cultivated Meat is done by accumulating cells from an animal and developing them in an enriched and favorable culture medium.

Thus, the final meat manufactured is free from any harmful organisms as it is grown in an aseptic and strictly controlled environment. The product not only offers healthier, safer, and disease-free meat to consumers but also reduces the negative environmental effects compared with traditional meat production. This lab meat has numerous advantages over conventional meat that includes environment friendliness, healthy and being free from foodborne and nutrition-related diseases.

Commercialization of in vitro meat production would also reduce animal sacrifices, and further ensure a reduction in the land, water, and energy usage. Customer desire to consume meat and animal-derived foods has led to the development of cellular agriculture that helps to produce animal proteins using less animal-derived material than the current meat industry, by utilizing in-vitro cultivation.

Global Cultivated Meat Market Overview
