According to a new report by Towards FnB, the global AI in cultivated meat market was worth $54.65 million in 2025 and is expected to reach $573.45 million by 2035. This represents a CAGR of 26.5%.
The research finds that the adoption of artificial intelligence across cell-line development, growth media optimization, and bioprocess automation is playing a critical role in advancing commercial-scale cultivated meat production. It is also contributing to significant reductions in production costs.
By region, North America led the AI in cultivated meat market in 2025, with a share of 58%. This is due to high levels of research and development and significant demand for meat alternatives. In this region, AI and machine learning algorithms are being used to examine datasets to create the best cell lines for production at commercial scale.
Over the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region due to factors such as growing disposable income and increased demand for protein-rich, sustainable options. Additionally, the region has reportedly become a center for technological innovations, especially in AI and biotechnology. In particular, India is expected to make a major contribution to the growth of the market due to high demand for alternative proteins and the prevalence of technologically-driven startups.
AI transforms cultivated meat production
By segment, culture media formulation led the AI in cultivated meat market in 2025. This is because AI can be used to address the expense of cell growth media, developing cost-effective, animal-free, and efficient options. Furthermore, predictive analytics can be used to reduce the time required for the research and development of new and sustainable formulations.
Over the forecast period, bioprocess monitoring and control is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, as it could increase production, maintain consistent quality, and enhance efficiency. AI could be used to manage cellular growth in cultivated meat, with sensors and automation allowing for immediate modifications to essential bioprocess parameters.
By meat type, the poultry segment led the market last year, while the seafood segment is expected to grow the most in the foreseeable period.
“AI is fundamentally transforming how cultivated meat moves from lab-scale experimentation to industrial-scale production,” said Vidyesh Swar, Principal Consultant at Towards FnB. “Technologies such as machine learning, digital twins, and predictive analytics are addressing the biggest barriers: cost, consistency, and scalability.”
