Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026980 | Category : Food & Beverage | Delivery Format: /

Tofu market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. The major factor attributed to the growing demand for tofu is its predominant usage as a high protein source and vegetarian alternative to meat and dairy products. Due to its lack of cholesterol, tofu is considered an excellent source of calcium and iron. The rising prevalence of obesity, high blood sugar, and heart disease linked to animal protein consumption is compelling people to alter their dietary habits. In addition, rising awareness of sustainability, personal health, and animal welfare will drive tofu market growth in the coming years. Many people are also shifting toward vegetarian protein sources due to the high fat and calorie content of animal protein. Furthermore, rising veganism adoption around the world is expected to boost growth.

Based on the distribution channel, the market is bifurcated into supermarket/hypermarkets, convenience stores, online retailers, and others. Among the product segment, the processed tofu sub-segment is anticipated to old a considerable share of the market. Tofu is processed to offer longer shelf life and reduce spoilage.

Among the type, the organic sub-segment is anticipated to cater to a resonable market growth over the forecast period.
