Global Pea Protein Isolate Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Global Pea Protein Isolate Market Overview

The Global Pea Protein Isolate Market size is estimated to reach $1,159 million by 2027. Furthermore, it is poised to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Pea Protein isolates are processed, as split yellow peas typically grow in North America and Europe, the process would remove the outer shell, and then it would be milled into flour. After which, other ingredients such as fiber and starch are separated through chemical processes. Ultimately, pea protein would be distilled into a white precipitate, known as protein powder. Hydrolysed protein powder is also used, and is a solution derived from the hydrolysis of protein into components of amino acids and peptides. Pea protein isolates have all the necessary amino acids- or the BCAAs which are extremely useful in bodybuilding as a protein supplement. Furthermore, since it is a plant-based protein it is gluten-free and lactose-free, which allows for greater market penetration. The nutritional profile of pea protein isolates to maintain satiety for a longer period of time along with the presence of BCAA have been identified as the key drivers for the Global Pea Protein Isolate Industry for the projected period of 2022-2027.

Owing to such strategies, the segment would grow at a steadfast pace.

Global Pea Protein Isolate Market Segment Analysis- By Geography

The global pea protein isolate market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Rest of the World. North America held a dominant market share of 36% in the year 2021. It is owing to high tend demand within a country like the U.S., where obesity is a common trend. High tend fatality owing to COVID-19 was thereby observed in the States as they have a lot of comorbidities. Pea Protein has properties that allow for longer satiety thereby solving the problem of rapid meal consumption. Additionally, the US is growing vegan with around 10 million of the population totally or partially vegan and a high proportion of people now opt for vegan brands simply due to their practices of being not cruel and highly sustainable. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities over the forecast period of 2022-2027. It is owing to heightening knowledge of protein-rich diets along with being extremely health conscious.

Global Pea Protein Isolate Market Drivers

The exponential rise in the global concern for managing weight and appetite has readily aided the market growth

The global population has been growing old, regardless, the population remaining under the threshold of 40’s is falling prey to obesity. Pea protein isolate has been known for providing long-lasting satiety, thereby allowing people to control their weights and dietary intakes. Additionally, the population obesity is now forcing people to join gyms and follow diets which can ease the process of looking and feeling fit. For example, per CDC findings before COVID began demonstrates that around 49.1% of the US adults tried to lose weight from when they were interviewed. Further breaking down the statistics, it was found that a higher percentage of women (56.4%) were inclined to lose weight. Furthermore, amongst those who tried to lose weight, the most common methods were exercising (62.9%), eating less food (62.9%), and consuming more & more fruits, vegetables-supplements with higher satiety and fiber ratio (50.4%). Moreover, countries such as India are being highly targeted for promoting such isolates as the obesity index within the country stands at 40.3% as per an independent researcher.

The growing proportion of the population who is lactose intolerant along with better product-market positioning allows for robust growth

The proportion of the population that either has lactose malabsorption or suffers from intolerance towards lactose stands close to 68% of the entire population. Working out the math, it can be assumed that around 4.9 billion people suffer from such maladies. Product manufacturers have marketed and positioned their products as such, which highlight two key points, one-> “if you can’t consume whey-opt for plant-based protein such as pea” or have co-opted the saying, “do what is best for you and for the environment you are living in.” The last sentence tries to draw attention towards the facet of plant-based protein being cruelty-free. Cows from which milk is obtained often go through tremendous troubles of being fed GMO medicines, to enhance the yield. As per a report from Ingredion, around 38% of the consumers base their decision on whether the product is cruelty-free and is obtained via sustainable methods.

Global Pea Protein Isolate Market Challenges

Close competition from other vegan-based protein isolates presents itself as a unique challenge

Matured products such as whey and soy isolates have positioned themselves as a market leader. Additionally, hemp protein provides close to 12 grams of protein per serving of quarter cup. Additionally, hemp has excellent sources of fiber, iron, and zinc along with omega-3 fatty acids. Recent research has also indicated that hemp seed protein may have valuable sources of blood-pressure-lowering compounds, which if positioned strategically can help the marketers gain an edge over pea proteins. As per a survey from CDC, around 50% of the adult US population have hypertension, with studies indicating that number might touch 70% if measures are not taken. Other products such as brown rice protein provide up to 22 grams of protein per serving. Moreover, scientific studies have proven an upper hand over peat protein. For example, an 8-week study found that young men who ate 48 grams of protein (brown rice) observed a 12% increment in their bicep muscles. Owing to such scientific claims and liaisons, the market would face challenges.

Recent Developments

• In January 2022, a cross-related study was done to find the comparative effects of high-pressure processing and heat treatment on the in-vitro digestibility of pea protein and starch. Samples of PPC with 5% (5?P) and 15% (15?P) protein were treated by HPP (600?MPa/5?°C/4?min) or heat (95?°C/15?min) and their in vitro static and dynamic digestibility were compared to untreated controls. Structural modification and denaturation may expose previously inaccessible proteolytic cleavage sites in heat- and HPP-treated proteins, leading to greater digestibility; or extensive aggregation may occur, leading to lower digestibility.
• In April 2021, DLG Group invested heavily in pea protein within the European Country, Germany. DLG's German agricultural company, HaGe, will invest in a new plant in Germany to produce highly processed pea proteins for the food industry. The project is part of the DLG Group's sustainability plan ZERO and is also one of the largest green initiatives that the Group presents in the strategically important German market. Further, the cultivation of peas and grass reduces the nitrogen effect, thereby emitting a positive effect.
• In December 2020, Cargill scaled up a European plant-based portfolio with pea-protein addition. Radi Pure and Puris were initially designed to meet functional and sensory challenges. With the new additions, would allow complementing the agri-food supplier. Furthermore, the company believes that clean labelling or label-friendly attributes allow the pea-protein to be favored positively. Additionally, resource efficiencies within pea-cultivation allow the company to do more with innovation aspects owing to less demand for water and fertilizers.
