TOP 10 COMPANIES IN LAB-GROWN MEAT MARKET

The Lab-grown Meat Market is projected to reach $1.99 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 21.4% from 2025 to 2035. The steady growth of the lab-grown meat market is mainly attributed to the technological advancements in cellular agriculture, rising investment by key industry leaders, increasing focus on animal welfare, and increased demand for animal-based processed food products. However, the high investment costs and a stringent regulatory environment are expected to hinder this market’s growth to a notable extent.
