Impossible Foods Key Facts
⢠Impossible Foods operates in a rapidly expanding market that has a CAGR of 19.3% between 2022 and 2030 based on Grand View Researchâs 2022 report. As consumers focus on adding meat alternatives to their diet, Impossible Foods could be a potential beneficiary of the larger trend. If Impossible Foods is able to maintain or increase its share of the market, it will grow along with the larger industry as well.
⢠Impossible Foods has multiple avenues for top-line expansion. According to their website, Impossible Foods plans to offer new products down the line, including commercializing additional meat, fish and dairy products around the world in the future. Impossible foods has the opportunity to grow revenue though geographic expansion as well. They currently only operate in United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the UAE.
⢠Their management team is experienced and has ample expertise to further the science behind Impossible Foodsâ flagship products. In fact, founder Pat Brown was a professor of biochemistry at Stanford University and current CEO Peter McGuinness has decades of experience in running a consumer staples company and scaling it to grow.
⢠Based on risks highlighted in Beyond Meatâs 2019 S-1 filing, Impossible Foods has considerable risks related to their industry and brand, âsuch as, increased competition in the market and new market entrants; harm to their brand or reputation due to real or perceived quality or health issues with their products; and failure to develop and maintain their brand.â
⢠As Impossible Foods operates in a consumable business, it faces regulatory scrutiny from several entities including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to FoodDiveâs article, given that Impossible Foods used genetically modified ingredients in its products, it also faces federal regulations for labeling, such as adding the âBioengineeredâ symbol on its products. Any issues with approvals on its ingredients, or issues with accurate representation of its products could harm the overall business. However, please note Impossible Foods has gotten the (FDA)âs approval on its products.
⢠Litigation risk is another downside that Impossible Foods faces. Since Impossible Foods operates in a highly competitive environment, this risk increases further as concerns around patents, proprietary information and other factors are contested on a larger level.
