Meat alternatives also called a meat analogue, meat substitute, mock meat, faux meat, imitation meat, or (where applicable) vegetarian meat or vegan meat. It is a meatless food that has approximately the same taste, appearance, and texture of a related food made from meat, poultry, fish or shellfish. Its nutritional value is, in general, approximately equal to (or sometimes greater than) that of the related food, including essential vitamin B-12. Its name often indicates the meat to which it is an alternative, and the label must indicate clearly that it is a meatless product. Many analogues are soy-based (tofu, tempeh) or gluten-based.
The meat alternatives market has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by rising consumer awareness of health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare concerns. Increasing demand for plant-based diets, coupled with innovations in food technology, has enabled companies to create meat substitutes that closely mimic the taste, texture, and appearance of traditional meat. This shift is not limited to vegetarians or vegans; a growing number of flexitarians—those reducing meat intake without eliminating it entirely—are also fueling demand.
Major food producers and startups alike are investing heavily in the development of alternative proteins, including plant-based, fermented, and cultivated (lab-grown) options. The market has also gained momentum due to favorable media coverage, endorsements from high-profile figures, and retail and restaurant partnerships expanding product availability. As regulatory frameworks adapt and production becomes more cost-efficient, the sector is expected to continue evolving and gaining market share within the broader food industry.
