Plant Protein Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Plant Protein Market Overview

Plant Protein Market size is estimated to reach $7,964 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% over 2021-2026. Plant proteins, particularly globulins, have traditionally been sourced mostly from grain and legume seeds, which are high in protein. Essential amino acids, vegan protein, Soy Protein Isolate, and hydrolyzed wheat protein are all part of this group. Plant-based proteins have protein concentrations ranging from 50% to 85%, making them appropriate for vegan and vegetarian diets. Because of the numerous health benefits of vegetarian cuisine, customers are increasingly turning to it. This has resulted in a growth in the product's use and demand. Aside from that, the use of plant protein in beverages, animal feed, infant food, and dietary supplements is propelling the industry forward. Product launches, development, and collaboration are all important contributors in the market's growth. According to research, environmental and animal welfare issues are still motivating reasons for adopting a plant-based lifestyle, but they aren't the driving factors. Many people are switching to plant-based proteins to improve their health and well-being. Plant-based diets have been shown in studies to help prevent obesity, stroke, and heart disease, reduce cholesterol and arthritis pain, lower blood sugar, and boost energy and mental clarity.

Plant Protein Market Segment Analysis – By Source

The Plant Protein Market based on the source can be further segmented into Soy Protein, Wheat Protein, Pea Protein, and Others. Soy proteins include fewer carbs than soy protein meat, soy protein isolate nutrition, soy protein powder, and soy protein oestrogen, and are accessible on the market as soy protein meat, soy protein isolate nutrition, soy protein powder, and soy protein oestrogen. It has uses in the food and beverage (F&B) business as well as the market for nutraceutical additives. Because soy protein is used in a range of foods, including cheese, beverages, miso, tempeh, tofu, salami, and vegetarian meat replacements, the soy lecithin market's growth prospects are generating an increase in the use of soy protein in the food and beverage industry.

On the other hand, pea protein segment is estimated to register the fastest CAGR of 6.4% for the period 2021-2026. Pea protein is regarded as a non-allergenic component. It's lactose-free and gluten-free by definition. Lactose intolerance is becoming more common over the world, and customers are avoiding glutamic goods in greater numbers. The vegan population is also reliant on plant-based protein to meet their daily nutritional needs. As a result, rising consumer demand for allergen-free products can be attributed to pea protein demand. As a result, more people are opting for pea protein, as pea allergies affect just a small percentage of the world's population. As a result, pea protein makers have a significant opportunity in the allergen-free market.

Plant Protein Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The Plant Protein Market based on the application can be further segmented into Food, Beverages, Animal Feed, and Others. The food segment registers for the highest Plant Protein market share in 2020 as plant protein is widely used in food goods. In addition, changing lifestyles and customer preferences for energy drinks and fruit juices due to their nutritional benefits are driving market expansion. Furthermore, the food segment is forecasted to register the fastest CAGR of 6.8% over 2021-2026. The rise in demand for convenience food products in a variety of flavors, which save customers time and effort owing to their hectic schedules, is driving the increase. Blueberry Banana and peach mango plant protein fruit smoothies, for example, are available from PepsiCo Inc.'s Naked Juice. Because of the benefits of Plant Protein, there has been an increase in demand for these goods, and the market is expected to rise significantly between 2021 and 2026.

Plant Protein Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

North America dominated the Plant Protein Market with a major share of 47.6% in 2020. Owing to the constantly growing popularity of veganism in established markets in North America, plant-based proteins are in high demand. These locations also contain the most manufacturers of plant-based proteins in the world. The market's leading producers of plant-based proteins. Plant-based food products are becoming increasingly popular in North America. Furthermore, North America is developing a more favorable market condition for pea protein intake. Consumers are keen to avoid eating animal-based protein, which is fueling the expansion of plant-based protein in these countries, allowing pea protein to gain a larger market share in both.

However, Asia Pacific is poised to outperform all other regions by registering the highest CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2026. Asian countries are presumed to be the most promising markets for plant-based protein. Veganism is also becoming more pervasive in these respective markets. Veganism's growing popularity is propelling the Asia Pacific region's plant-based protein market forward. Because of changes in lifestyles, a lack of balanced food intake, and better R&D to develop new types of plant-protein enhanced goods, demand for plant proteins is rapidly increasing.

Plant Protein Market Drivers

Evolving Customer Awareness Of The Nutritional Benefits Of Plant Protein, Is Projected To Augment Development

The prominent driver driving the plant protein market during the forecast period 2021-20256 is growing consumer awareness of the nutritional benefits of plant protein. Furthermore, plant-based protein foods are a fantastic method to maintain digestive balance since they contain a healthy quantity of fiber, which helps to reduce bowel motions and the risk of gut inflammation. In addition, a recent 2016 study published by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that those who consume more plant-based nutrients have a lower risk of chronic health problems and diseases such as ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and obesity. Apart from this, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 18.1 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2018, with 9.6 million people dying as a result. Concerns about rising cancer rates have sparked a desire for solutions that can help minimize the risk of the disease. Soy protein has been demonstrated to be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of cancer. More people will incorporate soy protein into their meals in the future to prevent the dangers of chronic disease.

Plant Protein Market Challenges

Plant Protein Foods And Food Intolerances is set to limit Plant Protein Market Growth

During the forecast period 2021-2026, allergies to plant protein meals are one of the factors that may stymie the growth of the Plant Protein Market. Furthermore, they cause mineral deficiencies and inhibit protein digestion, limiting market expansion. Furthermore, soy protein contains a lot of phytic acid, which might prevent critical minerals like calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc from being absorbed. In humans, soy allergy can cause itching and hives. The other factor is gluten sensitivity, which is widespread in wheat proteins with similar properties and has had an impact on the growth prospects of both protein sources.
