Edited by The VEGPRENEUR Team

AltProtein.Jobs, the leading global job board in the Alternative Protein sector, is excited to announce the release of its 2025 Alternative Protein Job Market Report, based on job board data collected throughout 2025.

The report examines:

- Shifts in hiring volume across regions

- Demand for specific technical and commercial roles

- Employment type distribution

- Remote and hybrid work availability

- Areas of increased competition among candidates

Findings highlights:

The data shows continued demand for roles in cell biology, automation, software development, and law. Manufacturing roles remain prominent, while commercialization has increased demand for sales and marketing professionals.

Geographically, after a significant decline in 2024, growth is visible again in North America, as well as in markets such as Brazil and India. At the same time, several regions experienced hiring slowdowns during 2025.

The report includes a short outlook for 2026, noting expectations of continued job function diversification and sustained demand for research and commercial roles.
