Opportunities and Challenges
The demand from developing countries in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, along with the emergence of vegetarian sausage casings, presents lucrative opportunities for market players. However, the preference for natural sausage casings over artificial ones is expected to hinder market growth significantly.
Consequently, companies in the artificial casings space adapted their strategies to meet the growing demand for vegan sausages. Key developments include:
• Loryma and Viscofan Collaboration (April 2020): Developed a recipe for vegan sausages based on wheat.
• Kalle GmbH (April 2019): Launched the vegan-suitable NaloProSpice PR casing with animal-free glue.
• Nestlé (January 2020): Introduced plant-based sausages in Europe and the U.S.
• Impossible Foods (January 2020): Expanded its sausages to 139 Burger King outlets in the U.S.
• High Peaks (January 2020): Launched premium plant-based sausages in the U.S.
• Alpha Foods (February 2020): Raised $28 million for its portfolio of vegetarian products.
• Lightlife (February 2020): Launched plant-based breakfast sausages.
• Dunkin’ and Beyond Meat Partnership (July 2019): Introduced the New Beyond Sausage Breakfast Sandwich in Manhattan.
