Our take

Beyond meat is a leader in the plant-based food market, pioneering a category that continues to see increased demand globally. While the initial excitement around vegan meats has faced some hurdles, Beyond Meat remain a key player, adaption to challenges by refining its products and messaging.

Beyond Meat's focus on creating healthier, more sustainable alternatives to animal protein has resulted in a suite of products such as Beyond Sausage, Beyond Meatballs, and its latest launch, Beyond Steak - products not only designed to taste great, but also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption.

The company is expanding its footprint, with the launch of Beyond Steak in France. This move aligns with the brand's global growth strategy and taps into France's growing demand for plant-based alternatives. Additionally, Beyond Meat has partnered with the NBA to release a plant-based cookbook featuring recipes from top NBA stars. With these exciting development, Beyond Meat is sure to continue continue seeing growth on a global scale and it will be interesting to see what the company does next.
