Highlights

There are seven different categories of consumers in relation to meat-free products, including three types of restrained meat eaters. Evidence on the relationship between meat consumption and key demographic variables shows that meat-free products have greater potential to appeal to certain consumer segments, including women and seniors.

Meat alternative and faux meat products can each have distinct technical, functional and emotional benefits, and companies can use these in their marketing strategies to overcome barriers and appeal to different consumer segments in the meat-free market.
