Our 2023 Horizons: Alternative Proteins report, built on the inputs of more than 150 industry leaders, explores the factors affecting the efficient and profitable scale-up of the alternative proteins market. Our report covers everything from processing and operations to sustainability and regulations.
CRB introduces its newest Horizons report, exploring the alternative proteins industry in 2023 and beyond.
Take a peek inside the report below.
What to Expect in the Report
In 2023, the products, ingredients, and tactics of commercial-scale alternative protein production may be evolving, but a central question remains: How does your alternative protein manufacturing strategy mesh with customers who demand a quality product at a price they’re willing to pay?
In our report, our SMEs tackle that question head-on and from multiple angles. Once again, they do so with the survey responses of 150 industry leaders who weigh in on their plans for cultivated meat, fermentation-derived proteins, and plant-based meat and dairy—as well as their strategies for addressing the complex safety, regulatory, and sustainability challenges that often vex large-scale food production.
The result is a compelling snapshot of the alternative proteins industry today, and where it’s headed tomorrow.
