Regulatory bodies warming up to cultivated meat: the US FDA's approval of lab-grown meat for human consumption and similar steps by other countries like Singapore signal a positive trend for the alternative meat industry.
Government support for alternative meat: countries like Israel, Norway, the Netherlands, and the UK are investing in research, development, and support for alternative meat startups and innovations.
Big brands betting on alternative meat: major food producers and retailers such as Waitrose, HKScan, Cargill, and JBS Foods are investing in and selling alternative meat products, increasing consumer awareness and funds for R&D.
Continued investor interest in alternative meat: despite a drop in investments in 2022, the alternative protein market in Europe raised €579 million last year, with plant-based meat and cultivated meat companies witnessing a surge in VC deals.
