Therefore, as a comparison against processed meats, processed plant products only managed US$11.1bil in revenues, around 2% of processed meats. For years, the hype and focus have been almost entirely on plant-based meat substitutes to replace meat in human diets. Therefore, it is worth understanding why there is resistance to hybrid meat products and whether this status can continue for much longer. The irony, of course, is that hybrid meat items have been around for several decades, and many of them are even preferred to full meat products. Overall, 61% also express an intent to buy hybrid meat foods compared to the 52% preferring to buy wholly plant-based meat substitutes.
