Market Growth Factors
The global food tech market is expected to pick up speed because consumers and producers demand sustainable resources, address waste, use resources more efficiently, and support sustainable production methods. There is rising interest in plant-based foods, cultured meat, and alternative proteins driven, in part, by a desire to protect the environment. For example, in May 2024, the Swiss company Nectariss increased its B2B client base 300% by selling fermentation-based truffle flavor concentrates. Environmental regulations and initiatives also contribute to demand for food technology.
In the United States, meal kit delivery services, connected smart devices in the kitchen, and on-demand food delivery services cater to consumers with the products targeting convenience and healthy personalized meal prep. Eat Just, Inc. released JUST Egg v5 in June 2024. The Alameda, California-based food technology company's plant-based egg has improved taste, texture, and available retail stores nationwide in the US. Convenience-based innovations helped fuel the growth of the US food tech market.
Smart kitchen appliances are another segment driving growth, like smart refrigerators that track expiration dates and smart ovens that guide the consumer in real time with their cooking process through AI and IoT capabilities. The purpose of this trend is to make cooking easier, more efficient and more precise, as well as to attract interest in new methods of preparing food. These technologies help make the cooking process more efficient or easier for people.
