The latest report by IMARC, titled “United States Plant-based Seafood Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027”, finds that the United States plant-based seafood market size reached US$ 16.0 Million in 2021. Plant-based seafood refers to a seafood-like vegan alternative that possesses similar texture, appearance, color, and flavor. It is usually made by mixing plant protein isolates, vegetable extracts, starch, soy, edible oils, and other seasonings. These materials are then processed with coloring agents and additives to attain texture and flavor similar to shrimps, fish, crabs, and other sea animals. In recent years, plant-based seafood has gained momentum across the United States as it is ecologically sustainable that assists in minimizing the high consumption of seafood and relieving the pressures on the depleting fisheries across the country.
The United States Plant-based Seafood Market Trends:
One of the primary factors driving the market is the rising adoption of veganism. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, including diabetes and obesity, is creating a positive market outlook. Other than this, the increasing number of individuals suffering from shellfish allergy are adopting healthier alternatives to fulfill the requirements of essential nutrients, thereby positively influencing the market growth.
