What are the Key Trends in the Market for Tempeh?

Rising Health Awareness and increasing vegan population

Consumers are inclining towards plant-based meats in the recent years, and this has been dramatically increasing over the last few decades, owing to the growing concern animal abuse and cruelty. The sales of plant-based meats are expected to continue to show double-digit growth during the forecast period. In fact, the demand for plant-based meats is expanding significantly; consumer demand is exceeding some domestic supplies owing to a rise in the awareness about the critical health benefits gained by the consumption of plant-based food products,

In addition, over the past couple of years there has been a rise in the overall vegan population, globally. Among the vegan population, tofu remains the one of the most preferred meat alternative, and other soy food products like tempeh are gaining high popularity due to its texture, and sensory attributes.

Moreover, there has been concerns of rising obesity in most of developed countries like the United States and major parts of the European region due to the intake of unhealthy and high cholesterol content food. As a result, there is a shift in the preference for plant-based food products, such as plant-based meat products like tempeh, which promotes good health among these consumers.

“Initiatives by Government Bodies to Promote Tempeh Production”

Many organizations and government bodies are focusing on scaling up the sustainable processing and consumption in the Indonesian tofu and tempeh industry. The SWITCH-Asia project Soybean Processing (SCoPE) created a huge economic impact on the Indonesian tofu and tempeh industry, which achieved an annual saving of US$ 1,594.04 per small and medium enterprise (SME), shifted use of firewood to liquid petroleum (LPG), and improved energy efficiency by 27%, between the period 2012 to 2015. The total budget of the project was US$ 1.062 Million, and 80% of it was funded by the European Commission. Efforts are also being put in by the United States Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and Soyfoods Association of North America. In North America, consumers continue to consume tempeh which is available in natural or Asian food stores, and in the larger supermarkets in the frozen or fresh produce section.

“Consumption of plant-based foods is becoming increasingly mainstream”

Cutting off meat completely from the diet is difficult for many consumers; hence, flexitarians is regarded as an achievable dietary change for many, rather than going completely vegan or vegetarian. Flexitarian is a portmanteau of flexible vegetarianism and encompassed individuals whose protein intake is dependent on sustainable sources like plant-based foods, and drastically reduce the consumption of meat in their diet. Many food giants are backing this trend, which collectively supports the growth of all meat substitute products, even tempeh.

Manufacturers are also striving to develop plant-based food products, which offer meat-familiar texture, and taste attributes, with the help of advanced food technology. This demonstrates the intensity of consumer demand for plant-based meat substitutes. Another major concern about meat consumption is the carbon footprint and a potential negative change in the climate. All soy-based food production is being closely scrutinized for its carbon emissions, including tempeh and tofu production in Indonesia, to compare their sustainable advantages over the meat industry.

“High Cost coupled with availability of tempeh alternatives hindering market growth”

The price of the product is one of the factors that is considered by consumers while buying a meat alternative. Many consumers have expressed concerns over the prices of meat alternatives, which are relatively higher in some countries than meat itself. In such circumstances, these expensive prices of meat alternatives are likely to affect the market growth in a bigger way than it appears, as positive consumer approach towards meat alternatives is not very mature, and high prices may drive away even those consumers, which are ready to opt for meat alternatives.

Moreover, the availability of tempeh alternatives such as tofu is anticipated to give tough competition in forthcoming years, which may negatively affect the sales of tempeh in the global market. Thus, premium prices and other dominating plant-based meat alternatives are the major bottlenecks pertaining to the tempeh market.
