Picture your favourite burger. Most likely, it will comprise a juicy patty of smoked meat topped with a slice of comforting cheese and a slightly spicy sauce, enclosed in an artisanal brioche bun. If you\u2019re a bit more open-minded, the burger might be plant-based but the rest of the formula broadly unchanged. Wind the clock forward a few years, however, and our burgers might be very different<\/em>. That was the conclusion we derived from catching up recently with a leading venture capital expert in the foodtech space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our contact, who comes from an academic background and has a PhD, highlighted that the food industry was not yet at the tipping point for alternative proteins but that \u201cwe have been laying the foundations.\u201d<\/strong> The problem was characterised as being one less about demand and more about supply<\/strong>. Put another way, if alternative meat\u2019s share of the metaphorical protein pie is ~1% currently, then just to get to 2% implies a massive scaling of production resources, not to mention the guaranteed availability of necessary input materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mass-market adoption, therefore, could be many years away<\/strong>. If scaling plant-based production sounds complicated, then imagine the challenges attached to developing precision fermentation or cultivated meat solutions. For our venture capital firm, they see its mandate as being about \u201csolving industry pain points and developing enabling technologies.\u201d This approach emphasises both lower costs and better products, leading eventually to a self-sustaining virtuous circle effect. When this happens, both consumers and governments will increasingly buy in to the proposition. Our contact pointed to the way in which both the DNA sequencing and solar industries have developed as a possible roadmap for alternative proteins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how about the burger of the future? The most likely path forward, we were told, was towards more market fragmentation. Sure, there will always be a place for premium Wagyu beef burgers. Some consumers, equally, will only want to eat certain products, whether for ethical or economic reasons. At the same time, the vision shared with us was of the hybrid burger as the dining choice of the future<\/strong>. Most likely, tomorrow\u2019s burger could<\/em> contain a blend of cultivated meat, plant-protein and fermented products. Sounds tasty? Well if not, imagine a cultivated fish product for the Japanese market or bug-based burgers in Mexico. Regardless, we expect innovation in the space only to accelerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
