Even though Chick-fil-A’s menu and motto has been centered on chicken for nearly 25 years now, the Atlanta-based company is contemplating adding vegan foods to its existing limited menu, especially the plant-based meat substitutes. Currently, the company’s menu does not have any vegan entrée items.
If this addition goes through, then the company will join the cohort of other plant-based meat substitute start-ups like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat (BYND), whose footsteps McDonalds (MCD), Taco Bell (TACO) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) have already been following.
McDonalds already sells veggie burgers outside the U.S. markets, but it is yet to bring them stateside.
U.S. as a nation is becoming increasingly health conscious and more people are opting for ‘flexitarian’ diets, if not outright vegetarian diets. This emerging market is well-captured by Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat whose plant-based meat substitutes closely mimic taste and texture of actual meat, and have gained much popularity among consumers. Analysts expect that the ‘flexitarian’ market value could rise from $1.44 billion in 2018 to $2.5 billion by 2023.
Following its IPO, shares of Beyond Meat have surged 174%, and Impossible Foods announced on Monday that it has raised another $300 million via private funding.
