The global tempeh market is expected to reach USD 258.7 million by 2025. Shifting preference towards vegan food and the increasing acceptance of fermented soy food as an alternative to meat products is expected to spur demand over the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. Strong growth is expected from countries such as the U.S. and U.K. where fermented soy food products are increasingly being preferred as an effective source of protein.
Demand for tempeh is expected to strengthen from both retail as well as food service providers. While increasing penetration of vegan culture will drive retail demand, the eating out culture in western countries will spur demand from food service providers. Tempe is a rich source of protein, available in the ready-to-eat form, and easy to cook, which makes it a good food option for time-pressed consumers.
Consumption of vegan food reduces the chance of cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure, obesity, stroke, and carcinogenic disorders. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, an organization of food and nutrition professionals in the U.S., vegan diet is essential and suitable for all age groups and genders. Millennials are expected to remain the key consumer group, where increasing health consciousness and the shift to vegan culture will remain prominent over the coming years.
Growing awareness about environmental sustainability has also added to the growth of the market. According to estimates, meat production accounted for more than 14.0% of the global greenhouse gas emissions in 2017. The increasing realization among consumers has increased the importance of environmentally sustainable food products including soy fermented food such as tempeh as an alternative to meat products.
The market for organic tempeh is expected to be more than USD 115 million by the end of 2025. Organic food certification and non-GMO labeling regulations for food packaging in Europe and North America are expected to result in tempeh manufacturing firms increasing their spending on organic tempeh products in the near future.
