Sales of plant proteins have been rapidly growing every year, and are predicted to grow even faster as new technologies, increased competition and growing scale will drive down prices so they will be cheaper than meat by 2023. A new report by the Boston Consulting Group predicts that sales of animal-based meat will peak in the US and Europe and begin a long steady decline after that. The report also predicts that the worldwide market share of plant-based meats will grow from 2% today to 11% in 2035. This is great news for our health, the health of the planet and our future and the lives of billions of animals.
