Alternative Protein Industry Can Learn from EV Companies_hero_rectangle.jpg

Increasing the Share of Alternative Proteins to Half the Global Protein Market Would Cut Emissions as Much as Taking Half of Gas-Fueled Cars Off the Road

Animal Agriculture Produces 15% to 20% of Green House Gas Emissions, More than Cars, Motorcycles, and Passenger Light Vehicles Put TogetherIn 2023, 18% of Car Sales Were Electric VehiclesPlant-Based Meat Accounts for Only 1% of Meat Dollar Sales in US RetailThe Alternative Protein Industry Received $635 Million in Government Support in 2022, Compared with $40 Billion for Electric Vehicles BOSTON—Growing the share of alternative proteins to half of the global protein market, including dairy, would reduce agriculture and land use greenhouse gas emissions by almost a third by 2050. It would mitigate 5 gigatons of CO2 equivalents annually, the equivalent of taking 50% of gas-fueled cars off the road. However, while the electric vehicle industry grew from 0.2% of total new car sales in 2012 to 18% in 2023, the alternative protein share of the protein market remains relatively small. Plant-based meat has hovered around 1% of total meat dollar sales in US retail for the past five years. These are among the findings of a new report being released today by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), The Good Food Institute (GFI), and Synthesis Capital titled What the Alternative Protein Industry Can Learn from EV Companies.
