Plant-Powered Egg Substitutes

NEXT EGG 1.0 Serves Vegans and People with Allergies in Japan

— July 5, 2021 — Eco
NEXT EGG 1.0 is an innovative egg alternative product from Japanese food-tech venture company Next Meats and it aims to serve "the vegan population and people with egg allergies in Japan, who have almost no commercial vegan egg options to choose from currently." This is a promising development for those with interests in the future of plant-based eating, since Japan is the world's second largest consumer of eggs. With this sustainable substitute, the company aims to offer a realistic egg alternative with a reduced carbon footprint.

The versatile egg alternative has proven itself to be a versatile ingredient in traditional dishes like egg-topped Oyako don.

NEXT EGG 1.0 is set to be released in Japan on a B2B basis first, followed by B2C channels before it makes its way to other countries.
Trend Themes
1. Plant-based Meat Alternatives - Next Meats possible expansion to other plant-based meat alternatives presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the fast-growing plant-based protein industry.
2. Sustainable Food Production - Next Meats' focus on reducing carbon footprint presents disruptive innovation opportunities for companies that aim to implement sustainable food production systems.
3. Innovative Food Technology - The creation of Next Egg 1.0 presents an opportunity for companies to develop and invest in innovative food technologies for alternative meat and dairy products.
Industry Implications

2. Plant-based Protein - The emergence of Next Egg 1.0 creates disruptive innovation opportunities for plant-based protein companies targeting vegans and people with egg allergies.
3. Allergy-free Foods - Next Egg 1.0's focus on serving people with egg allergies creates disruptive innovation opportunities for the allergy-free foods industry
