Seafood consumption is far higher than meat-- good luck to these folks, it could be highly profitable.
Update:
Worldwide meat consumption (first graph): 317,000,000 tonnes.
Worldwide seafood consumption (later down): 154,850 kilotonnes, or 154,850,000 tonnes.
Seafood is roughly half of meat. That's still a large market.
- buzzdenver 7y agoThat does not seem right. According to https://www.nationalchickencouncil.org/about-the-industry/statistics/per-capita-consumption-of-poultry-and-livestock-1965-to-estimated-2012-in-pounds/ https://www.nationalchickencouncil.org/about-the-industry/st... beef/pork/chicken consumption is much higher than fish.
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoYour source is based on USDA data, which I assume is per capita US consumption. Meat and seafood consumption are quite different in other parts of the world.

- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoIf it's cheaper than the price of fish (which I think is the long term aim of Beyond Meat et. al.), you will definitely sell the poor and lower middle class. Meats and seafood are more expensive parts of a diet. It's better for the environment (smaller carbon footprint), it's more ethical, and it's cheaper -- if the manufacturing of meatless and seafoodless substitutes can achieve this at scale.
