As health and environmental concerns become more prevalent, an increasing number of consumers, particularly younger generations, are adopting plant-based diets. This shift is influenced by a growing awareness of the health risks associated with excessive meat consumption, such as heart disease and obesity. Also, the ethical considerations regarding animal welfare and the environmental impact of livestock farming are encouraging many to explore plant-based alternatives. With a more health-conscious and environmentally aware population, the demand for meat substitutes is expected to continue rising, fueling market growth. This trend is also supported by an increasing variety of plant-based products designed to cater to local tastes and dietary preferences.
