Key Growth Drivers

The increasing popularity of lactose-free products among individuals is anticipated to boost the soy-based food market growth in the forthcoming years.
Consumers shifting preferences toward a vegan diet due to rising awareness regarding the health benefits associated is one of the major trends that help in the shaping of the soy-based food market.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Type: The Meat Substitute segment held the largest share of the Global Soy-Based Food Market in 2021.

The growth is mainly driven by the rising individuals’ environmental concerns which are positively influencing an increase in the adoption of meat substitutes, such as tempeh, tofu, and textured vegetable protein as they typically use less land, water, and emit lower carbon emissions which helps in mitigating the effects of global warming and improve the air quality.
According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads the right policies and programs to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security, livestock accounts for nearly 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

By Application: The Dairy Alternatives segment held the largest market share of the Global soy-based food Market in 2021, owing to the inclusion of antioxidative properties in soy milk, which protect the body's cells.

The presence of omega-3 fats, essential polyunsaturated fats in soy foods are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), influencing people, particularly those suffering from CVD, to choose them.
In June 2021, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations specialized agency responsible for global public health, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the world's leading cause of death. In 2019, an estimated 17.9 million individuals died from CVDs, accounting for 32% of all global deaths. Heart attacks and strokes were responsible for 85% of such deaths.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets generally offer lower or discounted prices to customers as they purchase larger quantities of goods, which dramatically increases its sales volume.

By Geography: Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in the global soy-based food market in 2021.

The growth is mainly attributed to the rising trend of veganism among individuals, especially the young generation, who seem to be more invested in health consciousness.
The rising government initiatives regarding the reduction of meat consumption across Asian countries, notably in China, India, Japan, and South Korea, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and soil degradation is a significant contributor to rising demand for plant-based food products, including soy-based food products.
In August 2022, South Korea’s government imposed new guidance under their National Plan 2022 to include cultivated meat regulatory approval guidance and no regulatory framework to approve alt-protein products for sale in South Korea.
In January 2022, China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs released its official five-year agricultural plan, with the aim to promote cultivated meat alternatives, such as tempeh which could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production (or meat imports) while ensuring food security.
