What happens to the global protein system when costs rise, supply chains wobble, and consumers remain unsure? In this episode of Frost & Sullivan's Growth Podcast, we explore the future of protein, examining how economics, technology, and sustainability are reshaping demand and supply. We look at why animal-based and alternative proteins face similar pressures, and why fermentation is emerging as a leading platform for scalable growth. We also discuss the constraints that separate winners from the rest, from infrastructure investment to regulatory hurdles, and the bridge categories and untapped applications opening new paths to scale. The conversation also takes in how priorities differ across regions, and why the Western-centric playbook may no longer fit. 👉 Which protein technologies are best positioned to scale over the next decade? 👉 How can companies build resilience and self-sufficiency into protein sourcing amid supply chain volatility? 👉 Which partnerships and novel applications can capture new value and deliver economies of scale? Designed for food and beverage manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, agri-food and feed producers, investors, and strategy and innovation leaders, this episode provides a strategic perspective on the future of protein.
