The trends in 2021 mainly followed those of 2020:<\/p>\n
1. New plant and cultivated meat and fish products<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 2019, vast variety of new products and innovations was presented to the market. Starting with breakfast items to bacon and \u201esea food\u201c based on plant proteins \u2013 alternatives today are much more than burgers. The widening of the product portfolio will surely continue as demand is growing and new actors are established and will bring new stimulus to the industry.<\/p>\n Especially the offer of plant based alternative to sea food will increase drastically; a trend which is underlined by extensive investments in this field.<\/p>\n 2. Improved flavours and new ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients are increasingly used more efficiently and may offer more fitting and tasty flavours. Processes to gain proteins from their raw materials are improving and the integration of Umami flavours may lift the sensoric experience of plant based food onto a new level.<\/p>\n
