Consumer Demand for Plant-Based Food Alternatives Driving Market Growth

FN Media Group Presents Microsmallcap.com Market Commentary

 

New York, NY – June 8, 2021 – The world’s population is increasingly becoming conscious of the impact of dietary choices on their bodies as well as the environment. This consciousness has driven the growth in the plant- based food market, which is estimated to reach $74.2 billion by 2027. Consumers are choosing meat substitutes, dairy alternatives, and food derived from or processed from plant-based sources. Health conditions such as heart disease, lactose intolerance, and obesity are also factors driving this market. As the demand for healthier food alternatives, companies are rising to meet the growing demand through dietary supplements, and dairy and meat substitutes. Companies such as Element Nutritional Sciences (CSE:ELMT), Oatly (NASDAQ:OTLY), Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND), Tattooed Chef (NASDAQ:TTCF), and Else Nutrition (TSXV:BABY) are developing solutions to meet the growing demand for healthier plant-based alternatives by targeting different segments of the plant-based foods market.

 

Element Nutritional Sciences is positioned to benefit from expanding Markets

 

Element Nutritional Sciences (CSE:ELMT), is a Canadian nutraceutical company focused on developing science-based plant-based nutritional products to improve the quality of life of its consumers. The company focuses on nutritional supplements.

 

Rejuvenate is an amino-acid supplement meant for helping prevent age related muscle loss and restoring lost muscle. The target group for this product is mainly the aging population, which is usually at a higher risk of age-related muscle loss. Rejuvenate helps rebuild muscles, repair muscles, and prevent muscle-related loss due to sarcopenia. Rejuvenate blends all the nine essential amino acids that help in rebuilding and repairing muscle mass. The only way your body gets these is through your diet.

 

With this product, Element is positioned to benefit from two expanding industries; the ready-to-drink and plant-based food markets. The ready-to-drink beverages market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% between 2021 and 2026. The North American market is expected to grow as consumers shift towards healthier solutions. The plant-based market is also growing with projections estimating that it will grow by a CAGR of 10.20% by 2027.

 

In an interview with Drug Store News, CEO of Element Nutritional Sciences, Stuart Lowther revealed that the company has gone to production with its Rejuvenate ready-to-drink product. The drink, developed using the patented Rejuvenate formula has only 100 calories and doesn’t have artificial sweeteners, colors, or added sugar.

 

The company is in the process of launching the clean label, gluten-free, and sugar-free organic protein drink for the 40-plus demographic. The drink is based on organic plant-based protein.

 

Commenting about plans for the company, Stuart Lowther said, “We have a significant pipeline of new innovative products in development, both in the beverage sector and also other areas of the VMS and adult nutrition category. Our goal is to innovate wherever possible and bring that innovation to customers by partnering with our retailers. Rejuvenate will be the go-to brand for all the nutrition needs of the 40-plus demographic.”
