Study: beef maintains market share despite price dip of alternative proteins A new study, published in the journal Food Policy, found that when price was factored in, 72% of consumer participants chose real beef compared to 28% who chose an alternative option. Additionally, when brand names were added — such as Certified Angus Beef, Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods and Memphis Meats — the share of consumers who chose real beef jumped to 80%. Re- sults further showed that environment and technology information had minor effects on conditional market shares but did reduce the share of people not buying any options, indicating that information pulled more people into the market. The study showed that, even when prices of plant- and lab-grown alternatives were significantly reduced, real beef still maintained the majority market share. The study also asked whether consumers believed con- ventional beef should be taxed for environmental and animal welfare objectives with most consumers opposing that concept.
