Whether cultivated meat will capture a significant market share (>20%) and begin displacing conventional animal agriculture.
Scope: Food technology, agriculture, regulation, consumer acceptance
The cultivated meat industry is currently in its nascent stages, with a few companies having received regulatory approval in specific markets (e.g., Singapore, USA). Production costs remain high, and scalability is a significant challenge. Consumer acceptance is largely untested at a broad scale, though initial surveys suggest a segment of consumers is open to trying it. Traditional farming continues to dominate global meat production, benefiting from established infrastructure, economies of scale, and deeply ingrained cultural practices.
