3D-printed meat also known as cultured meat or cell-based meat is produced through tissue engineering techniques by culturing animal cells. It offers several advantages over conventionally produced meat such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy usage and land use. With growing concerns over animal welfare, environmental sustainability and health risks associated with conventionally produced meat, demand for alternative protein sources is on the rise globally which is driving growth of 3D printed meat market.
The global 3D Printed Meat Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 206.33 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period 2024-2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends
The rising demand for cultured meat as an alternative protein source is one of the major trends seen in the 3D printed meat market. Cultured meat offers a more sustainable and efficient method of meat production and aims to address many of the issues associated with conventionally produced meat including animal welfare, environmental impact, land use and food safety. With the inhumane treatment of animals in intensive farming coming under the scanner, companies in the 3D printed meat market are exploring ways to produce meat efficiently with minimum environmental footprint by culturing animal cells in controlled bioreactors rather than farming animals.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: The 3D printed meat has the potential to reduce carbon footprint and require fewer natural resources compared to conventional meat production. It provides an alternative for meat consumption without killing animals.
Weakness: The production process of 3D printed meat is expensive and complex. The taste and texture may not match animal meat. Acceptability among consumers is still uncertain.
Opportunity: Growing health and environment awareness is driving demand for sustainable and plant-based alternatives. Celebrity endorsements and innovative marketing can improve consumer perception.
Threats: Conventional meat producers may oppose the new technology due to threat to their businesses. Stringent regulations and long approval timelines can delay commercialization. Negative publicity can undermine consumer confidence.
