The leader in this direction will be the startup Memphis Meat, at one time started with the fact that he grew meatballs in the laboratory. This forecast is provided by the analytical agency GlobalData. The main prerequisites for success in the agency are the huge investor money that is invested in the start-up, and a favorable environment for the distribution of its products.

The development of artificial meat has brought significant investments to several start-ups from the Silicon Valley.

The most famous of them are Impossible Foods, Memphis Meat, Beyond Meat and Hampton Creek. The rich people of the planet believed in these companies. Bill Gates has invested in several of them. So far, none of them have introduced meat that cannot be distinguished from the present, but observers still note progress: such meat is cheaper, and the taste is getting less and less forgery.

It is necessary to recognize that now various "green" and food projects and initiatives are at the peak of their popularity. The population of the Earth is growing, he needs something to eat. At the same time, a blind increase in the number of livestock is not an option. In 2011, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said that livestock accounted for 39% of pollution, produces agriculture. Therefore, the idea of making "clean" meat and it seems attractive: it solves problems with food and does not worsen the environmental situation. Some experts say that artificial meat is more effective than the present, more nutritious and less harmful.

However, all this was just talk and advertising, until it went to the masses. And the world is already close to this. In any case, its western part. Thus, food corporations have become interested in artificial meat. Cargill, Nestle and Tyson are betting on him. They share the view that in the next 25 years about 20% of the world meat market will be a new product.

According to the producers, synthetic meat, synthesized in the laboratory, promises to become a popular product due to a number of advantages: it has a taste not worse than natural, while not pumped by antibiotics, was not grown next to the gassed track, does not provide for the killing of living things and, to the same, it will cost less.
