There’s no elephant in the alt protein room, says GFI CEO Nigel Sizer, but change takes time and money

Alt Protein Industry Outlook

According to GFI CEO Nigel Sizer, the alternative protein industry is making progress, albeit slowly, and requires time and investment.

"What gives me the most hope is how quickly the science is moving across all the alt protein categories,"

Sizer notes. The emergence of new startups offering innovative products, such as burgers made with heme protein and microbe-based cheese, has expanded the addressable market for meat and dairy analogs. Companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods aim to capture a share of the trillion-dollar-plus meat market, rather than just dominating the niche meat alternatives market, as stated by their founders.

Author's summary: Alt protein industry progress is slow but hopeful.
