Protein Supplements Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Report Code: FBR 76011 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Protein Supplements Market Overview

Protein Supplements Market size was estimated at $18.9 Billion in 2020, projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The increased proclivity of younger generations, particularly millennials, for balanced meals, high-protein diets and healthy consumption is one of the main factors driving the protein supplement industry's rise. Athletes use protein supplements to help them perform better and recover faster. Dietary changes cause a shift in the gut microbiota, which can be helpful or harmful to the host. Protein is an important micronutrient that helps build muscle, makes enzymes & hormones and repairs tissue. Millennials are far more health-conscious and knowledgeable than previous generations, which has resulted in a huge increase in high-protein diets and nutritional dietary supplement usage. In 2019, over 39% of millennials in the United States consumed protein-based products for the aim of muscle bulking, according to CRN (Council for Responsible Nutrition) estimates. Protein supplement market growth is estimated to be fueled by the desire to meet nutritional needs and improve athletic performance, as well as changing lifestyles. The major constrain is that some protein powders make up a glass of milk in to a drink having more than 1,200 calories leading to excess weight gain and unhealthy spike in blood sugar. Protein supplements are made from both animal source and plant source. DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is an omega-3 fatty acid. DHA is abundant in fatty fish such as salmon and anchovies, just like the omega-3 lipid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). As the body can only produce a tiny quantity of DHA from other fatty acids, it is needs to be incorporated in to diet or in the form of a protein supplement. Protein supplement market is accelerating owing to the rising demand for protein supplements that contain docosahexaenoic acid in it.
