Additionally, the market is impacted by challenges such as limited infrastructure and supply chain inefficiencies. However, with increasing health consciousness and the potential for technological advancements, the market may see a gradual increase in growth in the future.

This trend is largely driven by cultural and ethical considerations, as well as the increasing availability of meat substitutes in the market. Additionally, there has been a growing awareness of the environmental impact of meat consumption, leading to a rise in flexitarian and reducetarian diets among the younger population.
