Massive IPOs, M&As reveal market’s appetite for Plant-based Stocks

The plant-based investment craze may have begun back when Beyond Meat launched its IPO in 2018, but the market has shown no signs of slowing since.

Investments like plant-based chicken company SIMULATE’s US$ 50 million funding round, which included music legend and entrepreneur Jay-Z, and Oatly’s recent US$ 1.4 billion IPO further cement plant-based food’s growing role in modern society.

As investors take note of these developments, companies like Else Nutrition could potentially be an attractive candidate for an acquisition by one of the larger players in the industry, after Else’s successful launch of its plant-based nutrition for toddlers. Other companies such as Conagra Brands, Inc, ADM and Tyson Foods are also following lead with their recent launches and lab openings to meet consumers demands worldwide. As the ongoing rapid growth continues for the plant-based industry, the market is projected to be a hundred times larger by 2050.

Swedish oat milk company Oatly, which entered the public markets in May 2021 with an IPO price of US$ 17 per share for gross proceeds up to US$ 1.6 billion, has continued expanding its reach. Prior to its listing, the company announced its plans for its new UK-based factory, which is expected to launch in Q1 2023. The new factory will be able to produce 300 million litres of oat drink per year at launch, with the capacity to grow to 450 million litres, making it one of the largest plant-based dairy factories in the world.

Leading North American branded food company Conagra Brands, Inc is meeting market demand by introducing new plant-based offerings as part of its extensive summer line-up. The company’s collection of frozen meals includes brands such as Healthy Choice, Banquet, Marie Callender’s, and Hungry Man. From its keto-friendly Healthy Choice Zero meal to its Gardein Plant-Based Chili, Conagra boldly states that there’s something for everyone on the menu.plant based foods

While North Americans are indulging in the latest plant-based products, ADM has recently launched its new cutting-edge plant-based lab in Singapore to meet growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. ADM’s new lab, which features experts in proteins and texturing ingredients and flavour specialists, will give the company the ability to test flavours, textures, fats and binding characteristics in-house and accelerate product development for customers.Tyson plant based foods

With barbeque season in full swing, Tyson Foods decided to expand its portfolio of Raised & Rooted and has introduced plant-based options including their Raised & Rooted plant-based burger, ground protein, bratwurst sausages, and Italian sausages. A month later, Tyson launched its new Plant-Based Bites to the market.

There are no signs of the plant-based industry slowing down, offering plant-based food companies like Else Nutrition the opportunity to capitalise on the growing demands from consumers seeking healthy alternatives for themselves and their families.
