Turkey Meat Substitutes Market

Turkey Meat Substitutes Market Overview:

The turkey meat substitutes market is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.50% during ​2025-2033​. The market is primarily driven by emerging technological advancement, growing health consciousness, rising number of vegan and vegetarian consumers, and significant expansion in retail sector and product innovation.

Turkey Meat Substitutes Market Trends:

Significant Retail Expansion and Product Innovation

The proliferation of retail outlets selling alternatives to turkey meat substitutes is driving the market growth. Additionally, customers now find more plant-based meat substitutes since supermarkets, specialized shops, and internet retailers have a wider range of them. Moreover, the increasing need for meat alternatives due to increased availability entices potential customers to give it a try. Another important component is manufacturers' ongoing innovation in products. According to Euromonitor, retail sales of plant-based meat reached $6.1 billion in 2022, marking an 8% increase in dollar sales and a 5% rise in weight sales compared to the previous year. This growth was especially significant in Latin America and Europe. Therefore, this trend suggests that there is a potential market for turkey alternatives as people are looking for more sustainable and healthful food options across the region. At present, businesses are creating alternatives that taste, feel, and are nutritionally similar to meat, appealing to vegetarians and meat eaters who want to cut back on their intake.

Technological Advancements

The quality and appeal of turkey meat alternatives have greatly increased owing to technological developments in food science. Additionally, improvements in plant-based protein sources, like mycoprotein, soy, and peas, have resulted in the creation of meat substitutes with superior flavor and texture. These developments increase consumer acceptability of plant-based turkey alternatives by making them more appealing and fulfilling. Additionally, producers are now able to produce goods that nearly resemble the juicy and fibrous qualities of authentic turkey flesh thanks to the application of contemporary food processing processes.

These improvements are essential to draw in meat-eaters who wish to cut back on their meat consumption without sacrificing taste or gastronomic experience. Besides this, in 2023, Beyond Meat published its second ISO-reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), revealing that Beyond Burger 3.0 patty generates 90% less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, uses 97% less water and land, and uses 37% less non-renewable energy compared to a typical traditional beef patty.
