The Plant-Based Boom Could Create a $1.4 Trillion Market Opportunity

June 22, 2021 - By: Baystreet Staff


The plant-based food market is booming. So much so, analysts at Credit Suisse say the market could grow 100-fold by 2050. In fact, they believe that a plant based shift in global food systems in “inevitable,” as noted by The Beet, and that the market could reach $1.4 trillion by 2050. That could be a powerful catalyst for companies such as Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM)(OTC:KOMOF( FRA:9HB), Rritual Superfoods Inc. (CSE:RSF)(OTC:RRSFF), Very Good Food Company Inc. (CSE:VERY)(OTC:VRYYF), good natured Products Inc. (TSXV:GDNP)(OTC:SLGBF), and Oatly Group (NASDAQ:OTLY). In addition, “Credit Suisse emphasizes that the growing plant-based market could be profitable to investors worldwide because the plant-based market is growing faster each year, and with exponential growth, investors will need to change their priorities with the quickly shifting market,” added The Beet.
