“…Although some will choose to reduce meat in their diet for financial reasons (De Boer et al, 2017), research has identified that consumers often associate meat alternatives with being expensive or less value for money than meat (Bryant, 2019;Peschel et al, 2019). Although certain PBPs are perceived as more expensive than meat and dairy equivalents (Ellmore, 2020;Finder, 2019;Michel et al, 2021;Rondoni et al, 2021), it has been suggested that as availability of PBPs becomes more widespread, and scale of production increases, the price of these products may correspondingly decrease (Bryant, 2019) thereby reducing or removing this barrier to consumption for consumers. There can be some ambiguity among consumers regarding new product categories and how much they should cost (Lowe & Alpert, 2010); therefore, it is important that manufacturers and marketers communicate the value of their product to consumers, emphasizing known product attributes which are important to consumers.…”
