Global manufacturer Hamilton is releasing an extensive white paper addressing the critical challenges faced by the cultivated meat industry. Titled "PAT to Optimize the Cost, Consistency, and Yield of Cultivated Meat Production," the paper explores groundbreaking solutions to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of cultivated meat production processes through applied advanced sensor technology.
With the global population projected to reach 9–10 billion by 2050, the demand for sustainable protein sources is increasing. Cultivated meat, produced through cellular agriculture, has emerged as a possible solution to meet this growing demand. The global market for cultivated meats is predicted to grow, with 150 companies operating worldwide and regulatory approval already secured by two companies in Singapore and the U.S. However, the industry is also encountering obstacles such as limited funding options, diverging global regulatory processes and slow consumer acceptance, with high production costs currently limiting consumer affordability.
