Binders and scaffolders play a crucial role in the preparation of meat and meat substitutes, particularly in the process of creating unique fibrous structures that give meat alternatives a meat-like appearance. These substances are used in a variety of products such as soy-based items, vegetarian sausages, spreads, and burgers, offering health benefits due to their high protein and vitamin content.
The main types of binders and scaffolders for meat and meat substitutes include binders for meat and meat substitutes and scaffolders for cultured meat. Collagen and gelatin, derived from animal sources, are commonly used as scaffolds in cultured meat research. There is also ongoing exploration of plant-derived biomaterials for scaffolding to align with the concept of cell-based meat, which emphasizes environmental conservation and animal welfare. Binding agents in meat analogs can be either animal or plant-based substances that serve as water and fat binders. Meat types involved in this context include beef, pork, fish, and poultry, with applications spanning various industries, including meat products, meat substitutes, and cultured meat.

The binders and scaffolders for meat and meat substitutes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.01 billion in 2024 to $4.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to consumer health awareness, increased demand for alternative protein, global population growth, rise in urbanization.
The binders and scaffolders for meat and meat substitutes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.24 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing trend of functional foods, increasing demand for protein-rich food products, growing demand for meat substitutes, rise in disposable income. Major trends in the forecast period include clean meat technology, customized texture, 3D printing and structured foods, insect-based binders, fermentation-derived ingredients.
The shift in consumer preferences toward flexitarian and vegan lifestyles is anticipated to drive the growth of the binders and scaffolders market for meat and meat substitutes in the coming years. A flexitarian diet is characterized by a predominantly plant-based approach while allowing moderate consumption of meat and other animal products, promoting various health benefits and a healthier lifestyle. For example, in March 2023, the World Animal Foundation, a US-based digital platform advocating for animal rights, reported that around 4% of the U.S. population, approximately 13.4 million individuals, identify as vegan. However, data on plant protein indicates that over 6% of U.S. consumers, which amounts to more than 15.5 million people, follow a vegan lifestyle.
The binders and scaffolders market for meat and meat substitutes is poised for growth due to the rising awareness about health and fitness among consumers. Health and fitness, integral to an individual's overall well-being and physical condition, are increasingly influencing consumer choices. As individuals prioritize health, there is a growing demand for meat substitutes that mirror the nutritional profile of traditional meat products. Binders and scaffolders play a crucial role in fortifying these substitutes with essential nutrients. A January 2022 survey by Nutrisystem, a US-based provider of weight loss products, revealed that 53% of respondents aimed to lose weight in 2022, with an average weight loss target of 14 pounds. This growing emphasis on health and fitness is expected to fuel the demand for binders and scaffolders in the meat and meat substitutes market.
Technological advancements are significantly influencing the meat and meat substitutes market. Technological advancement refers to the discovery of knowledge that enhances technology and provides improved products to consumers. One innovative approach is cellular-based agriculture, a technique that enables the production of meat and other agricultural products from cells in a fermenter or bioreactor, rather than from farm animals. This method offers several benefits, including reduced environmental impact, a safer and purer product, and a more reliable supply. For instance, in August 2023, Loryma, a Germany-based food ingredient manufacturer, introduced LoryTex, a product specifically designed to mimic the texture and bite of meat in plant-based offerings. Primarily derived from wheat protein, it serves as a key ingredient for manufacturers creating a variety of meat alternatives, including plant-based burgers, sausages, and other substitutes. This innovative solution enables food developers to achieve the desired mouthfeel, structure, and juiciness typical of traditional meat products, thereby facilitating the production of high-quality alternatives that resonate with the growing consumer interest in plant-based diets. With its versatility, LoryTex supports the creation of authentic plant-based foods, allowing brands to attract health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers.
Leading companies in the binders and scaffolders for the meat and meat substitutes market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products, particularly focusing on binding ingredients, to expand their customer base, drive sales, and boost revenue. Binding ingredients play a crucial role in food preparation by effectively holding together the various components of a dish. A notable example of this trend is reflected in the October 2023 launch of Lory Bind by Loryma, a Germany-based producer of food ingredients. This product stands out due to its unique composition, primarily consisting of wheat starch and wheat protein. Lory Bind is designed to minimize weight loss through exceptional freeze-thaw stability. The wheat starch contributes a high water-binding capacity, while the wheat protein, also known as gluten, enhances and stabilizes the texture, as highlighted by Loryma.
The rising demand for plant-based proteins is anticipated to drive the growth of the binders and scaffolders for the meat and meat substitutes market in the coming years. Plant-based protein refers to proteins obtained from plants rather than from animal sources. These proteins are found in various plant-based foods and are often consumed by individuals adhering to vegetarian, vegan, or plant-based diets. The increasing demand for plant-based proteins is fueled by several factors, including health awareness, sustainability concerns, and growing awareness of animal welfare. Binders and scaffolders serve to replicate the texture and mouthfeel of conventional meat products, improving the palatability and attractiveness of plant-based alternatives, which encourages more consumers to explore and adopt plant-based proteins. For example, in April 2023, the Good Food Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that global retail sales of plant-based meat and seafood reached $6.1 billion in 2022, reflecting an 8% revenue growth and a 5% increase in weight. Additionally, combined sales of plant-based milk, cheese, and yogurt totaled $21.6 billion globally, representing a 7% increase from the previous year. Thus, the rising demand for plant-based proteins is propelling the growth of the binders and scaffolders market for meat and meat substitutes.
