Global 3D Printed Meat Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2026 By Product Type (Pork, Steak, Chicken, and Others), By End-User (Retail & Online Stores, Bakeries & Confectionaries, Restaurants, and Residential), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa), Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The Global 3D Printed Meat Market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 55.5% from 2021 to 2026. The process of manufacturing food items, or meat products using a variety of additives, and biomaterials is coined as 3D food printing, and the printing of meat items is termed as 3D meat printing. Food grade syringes are used to conducting the printing process, and keep hold of printing material, which is deposited through food grade nozzle in a layer by layer fashion. The major factor driving the 3D food printing industry is the rising need for precise, personalized, easy and reproducible food item.
3D food printing is a rapidly developing industry with huge potential especially for 3D printed meat products. There are several benefits behind this revolutionary technology. This technology is healthy and beneficial for the environment because it can help to convert ingredients such as proteins from algae, beet leaves, or insects into flavoursome foodstuffs. It also creates new ways for food customization and therefore, adjusts with individual needs and preferences.
The 3D printed meat market is driven by the rising adoption of printing technology for replacing real meat to 3D printed meat products, increasing consumer preference for natural food consumption, and rising concerns regarding animal health and wellbeing. Moreover, the added advantage offered such as the high-end and precise nutritional control in 3D printed meat is another driver of the market.
Furthermore, increasing consumer preference for personalized, high in nutrition, and customized meat meal, and increasing consumption volume in developing region is boosting the demand for 3D printers for meat products in the market.
Increasing number of product launch strategies along with rising penetration of small and medium sized companies, and rising research and development initiatives to launch real-like meat products are some of the other factors driving the growth of the market. For instance, in 2018, Redefine Meat, Inc. launched the world’s first 3D printed plant based steak, which was fully replicated as that of a beef.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the 3D printed meat market. Due to long term shut down of restaurants, hotels, bakeries, resorts, and other eatery places, and due to changed preference of safety over manufacturing of personalized food products, the market was heavily affected during the initial phase of pandemic. However, with the ease in the lockdown norms, the market too is expected to pick up its pace and grow at a substantiate rate during the forecast period.
Based on the product type, the 3D printed meat market is divided into pork, steak, chicken, and others. The steak segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the market from 2021 to 2026. Rising consumption volume of steak, increasing penetration of 3D printing companies offering 3D printed steak, and rising demand for plant based meat products are some of the factors driving the growth of the segment in the market. For instance, in September 2021, scientists at the Osaka University in Japan successfully launched a 3D printed Wagyu beef.
Retail & online stores, bakeries & confectionaries, restaurants, and residential are the end-user segments of the 3D printed meat market. Restaurants segment is expected to hold the largest share in the market whereas the retail & online stores segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the market from 2021 to 2026.
Rising consumer preference for personalized meat products, rising awareness regarding 3D technology for processed food, increasing demand for plant based meat food, and rising concerns regarding animal welfare are some of the factors supporting the dominance of restaurants segment in the market.
As per the geographical analysis, the 3D printed meat market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will have a dominant share in the 3D printed meat market from 2021 to 2026.
One of the most important benefit of 3D printing is that it provides door for food customization according to the preferences and needs of individual. Hence, rising consumer preference for high-end meat products in countries like U.S., Canada and Mexico, and rising demand for new flavors, textures and shapes of meat products are some of driving factors of this region. Furthermore, rising interest of top government organizations like NASA who are looking ways to accustom 3D printed meat and meat items in the space will support the growth of the North American market.
Moreover, the Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific) region is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the 3D printed meat market during the forecast period. Rapidly rising consumption volume of food in developing countries like India, China and Japan, change of consumer preference to plant based products, rising demand for animal protection and welfare services, and growing research activities in the field of 3D technology for food items are some of the driving forces for the APAC market to grow rapidly.
Centre for Process Innovation, Redefine Meat,MeaTech, Modern Meadow, Print2Taste (Bocusini), SavorEat, Novameat, Aleph Farm, and byFlow are the key players in the 3D Printed Meat market.
