Animal welfare has recently been pushed to the front of the world's eating habits. Animal humanization has been promoted on a larger scale by organizations like World Animal Protection (WAP) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

Various cultural views have been dominated by animal welfare. According to several theological traditions, animals have the same levels of sensibility, consciousness, and feeling as people. As a result, eating animal meat has been strongly discouraged, and numerous jurisdictions have passed harsh laws outlining the killing of animals.

Lack of awareness in third-world countries, and the texture and taste of plant-based meats limit the market growth.

Customers often search for high-quality products with reliable flavor and texture. Due to growing awareness of environmental and health issues, customers have recently begun to demand more nutrient-dense, clean-label, and sustainable products. Although plant-based meat substitutes offer nutritional advantages compared to those of animal meat, the main drawback is the taste and texture of the substitute. Moreover, in emerging economies, vegan culture, plant-based meat, and other meat alternatives are not yet popular and hence lack awareness among the larger audience.

- Branch amino acids (BCAAs), which are abundant in soy, improve the body's capacity to exercise, develop and strengthen muscle mass, and recover from a strenuous workout. Comparing soy-based meat products to traditional animal- and dairy-based food items, it not only has lower formulation costs but also has a lower carbon footprint. Growing consumer demand for the product due to its qualities such as improved microwave-ability and slice-ability is anticipated to fuel market expansion
By Type: The chicken segment held the largest share in the global Plant-based Meat Market in 2021.
- The over-slaughtering and depletion of animal sources are being caused by the rising demand for chicken meat, the growing population, and consumer preferences for meat products. As a result, especially among millennials and Gen Xers, sustainability is becoming increasingly important as a deciding factor when making purchases, in turn promoting the growth of the Plant-based Meat Market.
By Product: Burger patties product segment held the largest share in the global Plant-based Meat Market in 2021.

By Geography: Europe accounted for the largest market share in 2021 within the total Global Plant-based Meat Market in 2021.
