Meat Analogues – Innovation Landscape

A Quality vs Quantity analysis over all the Alive inventions (pending applications and grants) using PatSeer Pro X

In recent times, the importance of Meat Analogues has increased due to health and dietary awareness among consumers and the need for a better future environment. Meat analogues are designed to mimic the appearance, flavour, and texture of meat products, commonly called as plant-based meat, vegan meat, or imitation meat.

The meat analogue market is expected to exceed $10 Billion by 2025 according to recent market research reports. With a rapidly rising market, the technology around them is equally evolving and so is the patenting intensity. A Quality vs Quantity analysis over all the Alive inventions (pending applications and grants) using PatSeer Pro X, gives us a good summary of the current competitive landscape that currently exists in this space.
