The global food and beverage industry is presently undergoing an unparalleled technological disruption, propelled by the massive growth of viable plant-based alternatives. The industry is witnessing an increased participation of startup and disruptor companies that are launching innovative products into the market to meet the rising consumer demand for healthy and sustainable food options. Growing concerns over food safety, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability have resulted into a greater appreciation of plant proteins by consumers across the globe.

Currently, the plant-based foods and beverages are in a relatively primary stage of their lifecycle, however with the ongoing investments and new product developments, the demand for plant proteins is likely to increase manifold. Continuous improvements in taste and texture, along with change in the consumer values, have enhanced the growth of plant-based meat. Nearly one-third of the U.S. population is following a flexitarian diet.

Therefore, plant-based meat companies are using marketing strategies to target their products toward flexitarians rather than limiting their business to the small section i.e. the vegetarian population. Recent developments in lifestyle such as veganism and the fact that several retailers are rapidly expanding their shelf space for plant-based food and beverage products are the major factor for the growth in the sector. Although there has recently been a substantial coverage of the growth of plant-based products in general, it should be noted that plant-based products have existed since a long time and have been an important element in the food and beverage industry.

According to Rakhi Tanwar, Principal Analyst at BIS Research, "There has been significant investment in the plant-based food and beverage alternatives industry in the last five years. The industry is receiving investment from high-profile individuals, financial investors, and companies. Till 2019, an amount of $17 billion has been invested in the industry, including $13 billion investments of the last two years."

Some of the most prominent players in the plant-based food and beverage alternatives market are DANONE S.A., Beyond Meat, Inc., Impossible Foods, Inc., Amy's Kitchen, Daiya Foods Inc., Lightlife Foods, The Vegetarian Butcher, Morning Star Farms, Before the Butcher, Tofurkey, Sweet Earth Inc., and Blue Diamond Growers. The result of the emerging strategies and developments are already surging the market in the form of product launches and various developments since 2016.

Moreover, the growing market of plant-based food and beverage alternatives is further expected to increase the involvement of companies across different segments of the value chain. Majority of the companies preferred entering into business expansion and contract to enhance their presence, while the relatively less adoptive strategies comprised business expansion and merger and acquisitions.  For instance, in June 2019, Danone S.A launched dairy-free, vegan, low calorie ice cream in three new flavors − Caramel Macchiato, Velvety Chocolate, and Passionate Mango.
