Cultured meat, also known as cultivated meat, is created in laboratories from a few animal cells without slaughtering any animal. It eliminates the need of farming and raising animals for food and prevents E. coli bacteria and other contaminants from entering the human body, which may be present in the conventional meat processing plant. Its production requires less land, uses less water, and produces less pollution compared to traditional meat production, which releases methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and other greenhouse gases.

Cultured Meat Market Trends:

The growing awareness among the masses about the benefits of cultured meat like low environmental impact, eliminating the need to raise animals, and decreasing public health risks, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the adoption of nutritional diets among the masses. This, along with the escalating demand for cultured meat among consumers allergic to animal-based proteins, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, increasing concerns about animal welfare as animals around the world are illegally used for entertainment, food, medicine, and scientific advancement are positively influencing the market. Besides this, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce 3D printed cultured meat for creating precise digitally printed structures. They are also focusing on promoting the benefits of 3D printed cultured meat technology, such as preserving the texture, taste, and nutritional properties of animal meat products. Other growth-inducing factors are high per capita meat consumption and imports, increased demand for quick-service restaurants (QSRs), rising consumption of meat and meat products, and the rapid improvements in online food delivery services.
