Notably, the products made by the company target meat lovers rather than vegans or vegetarians and its real, clean pork offers an easy switch to a more sustainable way of eating. Mewery sets itself apart as the first company to develop [cultivated pork on microalgae scaffolding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meats) and it aims to enter the market in 2026, based on E.U. regulatory approval for cell-based meat. “We love meat but hate the way it’s done,” says Mewery, “That’s why we’ve decided to change that. We are a team bringing together business and science experience with one common goal – to cultivate meat without killing a single animal or harming the planet.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cultivated Meat:** The rise of cultivated meat production offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for traditional meat industries to transform to a more sustainable and ethical business model. - **Alternative Protein:** The increased demand for alternative protein sources presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for industries to explore new production methods, including combining regenerative plant sources with cellular agriculture. - **Microalgae Scaffolding:** The use of microalgae scaffolding in cultivated meat production creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to explore more efficient and sustainable methods of production. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Meat Production:** The cultivated meat industry presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for traditional meat producers to transform their businesses to meet the growing demand for sustainable and ethical meat alternatives. - **Foodtech:** The foodtech industry has a disruptive innovation opportunity to innovate towards a more sustainable model of food production, including the use of regenerative plant-based sources and cellular agriculture. - **Cellular Agriculture:** The development of cellular agriculture technology creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for a new industry of meat production, which can provide meat alternatives that are more sustainable and ethical than traditional industrial farming methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Microalgae-Based Meat Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microalgae-cultivated-meat.md) - [Pork Protein Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-age-eats.md) - [Cell-Cultured Pork Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatable.md) - [Marbled Cultivated Pork Loins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-pork-loin.md) - [American Cell-Cultured Porks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forke-and-goode.md) - [Sustainability-Focused Cultivated Meat Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meat.md) - [Korean Cultivated Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-f.md) - [Cultivated Meat Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meat-sausages.md) - [Cultivated Pet Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatly.md)
