The Asia Pacific synthetic food market share will register more than 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period, due to the shifting interest toward meat alternatives. China, for example, has reinforced the importance of food security, encouraging agriculture officials to source protein from sources other than traditional livestock.

Factors such as these will augment the development of synthetic foods using cellular agriculture techniques to produce dairy, meat substitutes, and other products across the region.
