The Meat Market in Eastern Asia has been experiencing minimal growth due to various factors such as consumer preferences for alternative protein sources, increasing health concerns related to meat consumption, and market saturation. The sub-markets of Fresh Meat, Processed Meat, and Meat Substitutes have also contributed to this slow growth. The convenience offered by online meat sales has had a limited impact on the overall market, as traditional consumption methods remain prevalent in the region.
Customer preferences: As consumer awareness of sustainability and health concerns continues to grow, there has been a notable rise in demand for plant-based meat alternatives in Eastern Asia. This shift is driven by cultural preferences for plant-based diets, as well as concerns over the environmental impact and ethical considerations of traditional meat production. Additionally, the rise of flexitarian and vegan lifestyles among younger demographics is contributing to the growth of the plant-based meat market in this region.
