I don't get this "the free market is efficient for research" there are hundreds of cultivated meat companies all stuck on exactly the same problems. How is that effecient? Others have already solved them why can't we share results? Because of the free market. In China they've basically succeeded with cultivated meat.
Depends on the metric. "Efficient" in pressuring companies to perform or perish for lack of profit because someone else is doing it already or better.
Capitalist metrics always ground in profit. Never directly the inputs (eg labor, resources), outputs (eg commodities themselves), or side-effects (eg pollution, industrial development, social benefit)
Any of these seeming to improve is an afterthought of profit-seeking
