Impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) on the Alternative Protein Industry The meat supply in the U.S. is expected to be hit hard by the COVID-19 outbreak, as major meat plants have been taken offline as factory workers have tested positive for the virus. It is estimated that meat plants responsible for 10% of all beef production in the U.S. and 25% of all pork production have closed as of April 2020, with this having the potential to disrupt meat

supply chains and lead to shortages. This potential shortage of meat supply is already leading to augmented consumer demand for plant-based meat alternatives in the U.S., with meat substitute sales reported to have jumped 200% in the country in the week ending 18 th April, compared with the same week last year. Thus, the global crisis, in other words, is turning into a big opportunity for the plant-based protein sector. Table 1: Consumption of meat, 1,000 Metric Tons (2018-2020) Country /Region

With growing health consciousness, consumers are shifting toward healthier varieties of red meat products, such as organic products. Along with taste, consumers also look for healthier variations of traditional pork meats. Organic meats are extracted from animals who are raised without the use of any antibiotics, are fed natural feed, and are not genetically modified. Thus, the meat of such animals is safe to consume. Players in the market are coming up with new grass-fed pork products to cater to the increasing demand from consumers. For instance, Danish Crown AS offers pork meat fetched from pigs that are grown without any antibiotics and artificial health promotants. Thus, the increasing demand for grass-fed pork meat is expected to drive the growth of the market.
