Abstract: With the continuous increase of global demand for meat, the excessive environmental burden caused by livestock raising, increasingly prominent problems of meat food safety and animal welfare, the development of artificial meat has been highly valued by countries all over the world. From the perspective of papers and patents, the development trend, main countries, main institutions, research hotspots, important patents and industrial development status in the field of artificial meat are analyzed. The results show that the scale of scientific research output has been continuously expanding in recent years. The numbers of research papers published in the United States, the Netherlands and Germany are relatively large, and the numbers of patent applications in the United States and China rank in the first echelon. Wageningen University and Research Center in the Netherlands rank the first in terms of the number of published research papers. Impossible Foods rank the first in terms of the number of patent applications. The research hotspots in the field of artificial meat mainly include the source of raw materials, processing equipment, auxiliary materials and physicochemical properties. The number of important patents of the United States rank the first in the world. These research results could provide significant references for China to make overall arrangements of the R&D initiatives and relevant policy making.
