Top Highlights

  • 77% of habitable land on Earth is used to raise and feed livestock, this land use accounts for only 17% of the global caloric supply
  • Companies in the cell-based meat space work with embryonic, induced pluripotent, mesenchymal, and adult stem cells such as myosatellite cells.
  • The starting cell type ultimately influences many of the downstream variables of the bioprocess, such as timeline and differentiation strategy
  • However, FBS is not viable for use in cell-based meat because: • it varies by region and batch • it is a potential source of contamination • it is misaligned with animal welfare • not enough of it is available to supply the industry
  • Estimates suggest that 55–95% of the marginal cost contribution of a cell-based meat product will come from the medium. Thus, the cell-based meat industry will likely require optimized serum-free formulations for a variety of cell types, at price points below $1.00 per liter to become economically feasible at industrial scales
