This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of traditional meat production and a desire for ethical and healthier food choices. Additionally, with the rising popularity of flexitarian and vegetarian diets, there is a growing market for plant-based meat alternatives, such as tofu, tempeh, and seitan. This shift towards alternative protein sources is also influenced by the cultural preference for vegetarian and plant-based dishes in many parts of the country.

Industry stakeholders may need to adapt their production methods and marketing strategies to cater to these changing preferences in order to remain competitive in the market.
