미국 식물성 육류 시장 침체...가격과 맛 원인

The US plant-based meat market, which experienced rapid growth in the early stages of the pandemic, has recently faced a slump, with sales falling by 13% over the past two years. The main reasons cited are the high prices of plant-based meat compared to animal-based alternatives, on average 77% more expensive, and the failure to meet consumer expectations in terms of taste and texture. In contrast, plant-based milk dominates the plant-based food market, accounting for 15% of the total milk market. The plant-based meat industry is striving to overcome the crisis through the launch of new products and an emphasis on healthy ingredients. While the growth of the plant-based meat market is crucial for reducing the carbon footprint of diets, the plant-based meat revolution in the US is not progressing as quickly as many had hoped.

팬데믹 초기 급성장했던 미국의 식물성 육류 시장이 최근 2년간 매출이 13% 감소하는 등 침체를 겪고 있다. 식물성 육류의 가격이 동물성 고기에 비해 평균 77% 더 비싸고, 맛과 질감 면에서 소비자 기대치를 충족시키지 못하는 것이 주요 원인으로 꼽힌다. 반면, 식물성 우유는 전체 우유 시장의 15%를 차지하며 식물성 식품 시장을 주도하고 있다. 식물성 육류 업계는 새로운 제품 출시와 건강한 성분 강조 등을 통해 위기를 극복하려 노력하고 있다. 식단의 탄소 배출량 감축을 위해 식물성 고기 시장의 성장이 중요하지만, 현재로서는 미국 내 식물성 육류 혁명이 기대만큼 빠르게 진행되지 않고 있다.
