Trend of veganism has picked up an immense pace in many regions, including the Asia Pacific, as more people are growing health conscious and want to develop sustainable dietary habits. The rise in awareness of animal welfare and focus on eco-friendliness in the production of meat alternatives are some of the other factors contributing to the use of fungal proteins.
 

As per a recent study by researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), replacing 20% of conventional meat products with meats made from fungi could reduce deforestation by almost half by 2050. This has surged the demand for meat substitutes made from different types of fungal proteins. Many countries across the APAC region, including China, India, the Philippines, and South Korea are extensively adopting meats prepared from fungal proteins, such as mycoproteins.
