Key Market Segments
1. Type:
The plant-based food market is segmented into several categories, including dairy alternatives, meat substitutes, plant-based meals, baked goods, confectionery, beverages, egg substitutes, and seafood alternatives. In 2024, the dairy alternatives segment is poised to dominate the market, driven by a rising population of lactose-intolerant individuals, growing ethical concerns about modern dairy farming, and the nutritional benefits of plant-based dairy products. Meanwhile, the egg substitutes segment is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period.
2. Source:
The market is categorized by sources such as soy, almond, wheat, pea, rice, oat, and others. The soy segment is projected to hold the largest market share in 2024, attributed to the wide availability and lower cost of soy, high demand from meat alternative manufacturers, and its extensive application across various food and beverage sectors. The pea segment, however, is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period.
