The increasing consumption of meat and dairy products is anticipated to drive the growth of the kosher food market in the future. Kosher meat and dairy products include the flesh of animals or birds that have been slaughtered according to kosher methods, and these must not be cooked or consumed together. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt, sourced from kosher-slaughtered animals, must also be kept separate from meat in adherence to kosher laws. The rising demand for meat and dairy products is driven by factors such as population growth, urbanization, higher income levels, shifting dietary habits, and cultural and culinary preferences. Kosher dietary laws govern the consumption and preparation of meat and dairy products by establishing clear rules to prevent their mixing and ensure their purity. These laws ensure that meat and dairy are prepared and consumed in accordance with Jewish religious principles. For example, in July 2024, Carlisle Technology, a US-based company offering software and hardware solutions for the food industry, reported that chicken consumption, currently at 98.9 pounds per person, is expected to rise to 107.5 pounds by 2033, driven by its affordability and health benefits. In 2022, per capita consumption of broiler chicken in the U.S. was 98.9 pounds, with a notable increase projected by 2033. As a result, the growing consumption of meat and dairy products is fueling the expansion of the kosher food market.
Major companies in the kosher food market are focusing on innovative products, such as plant-based alternatives, to meet the increasing demand for health-conscious and environmentally friendly options while adhering to strict kosher guidelines. Plant-based kosher foods are products that comply with kosher dietary laws while replicating the taste and texture of animal-based foods using only plant-based ingredients. For example, in May 2024, Tofurky, a US-based producer of plant-based meat substitutes, introduced next-generation plant-based Deli Slices. These pre-seasoned roasts are ready to heat and serve, offering a convenient plant-based alternative for kosher consumers looking to reduce their meat consumption. The launch expands Tofurky's existing range of kosher plant-based products, which includes deli slices, sausages, and grounds.
