Plant Protein-based Food Market Trends
One of the prominent trends in the plant protein-based food market is the expansion of soy-free and gluten-free alternatives. Over 38% of consumers in North America actively avoid soy, leading to higher adoption of pea and fava bean proteins. Pea protein has gained traction in 2024, featuring in over 32% of plant-based new product launches in the meat alternative category.
Clean-label preferences are influencing formulation strategies, with 67% of consumers preferring food products with fewer than five ingredients and recognizable plant-based components. This has driven the growth of minimally processed items using lentil, chickpea, and mung bean proteins. Retail shelves are now increasingly populated with plant-based dairy alternatives. Almond milk, oat milk, and soy milk dominate this segment, collectively holding 78% of the plant-based dairy market share. Furthermore, plant-based yogurt and cheese saw a 28% rise in product development activities in 2023 alone.
The rise of flexitarian diets is another notable market trend. Surveys indicate that 42% of global consumers identify as flexitarian, reducing animal-based protein consumption and increasing plant protein intake. This behavioral shift supports the proliferation of hybrid products that blend plant and animal proteins. Technology is also a driver of change. Companies are leveraging high-moisture extrusion and fermentation technologies to improve the taste and mouthfeel of plant-based meat. Approximately 65% of new launches in 2023 used enhanced texture or flavor technologies to achieve parity with animal-derived products.
United States Tariffs: A Strategic Shift in Global Trade
In 2025, the U.S. implemented reciprocal tariffs on 70 countries under Executive Order 14257. These tariffs, which range from 10% to 50%, were designed to address trade imbalances and protect domestic industries. For example, tariffs of 35% were applied to Canadian goods, 50% to Brazilian imports, and 25% to key products from India, with other rates on imports from countries like Taiwan and Switzerland.
The immediate economic impact has been significant. The U.S. trade deficit, which was around $900 billion in recent years, is expected to decrease. However, retaliatory tariffs from other countries have led to a nearly 15% decline in U.S. agricultural exports, particularly soybeans, corn, and meat products.
U.S. manufacturing industries have seen input costs increase by up to 12%, and supply chain delays have extended lead times by 20%. The technology sector, which relies heavily on global supply chains, has experienced cost inflation of 8-10%, which has negatively affected production margins.
The combined effect of these tariffs and COVID-19-related disruptions has contributed to an overall slowdown in global GDP growth by approximately 0.5% annually since 2020. Emerging and developing economies are also vulnerable, as new trade barriers restrict their access to key export markets.
While the U.S. aims to reduce its trade deficit, major surplus economies like the EU and China may be pressured to adjust their domestic economic policies. The tariffs have also prompted legal challenges and concerns about their long-term effectiveness. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is facing increasing pressure to address the evolving global trade environment, with some questioning its role and effectiveness.
