Proteins are the most important nutrients for the human body as they provide all the essential amino acids required. Plant-based proteins are derived from plant and vegetable sources such as soy, wheat, and peas, which are high in protein content.
Demand for plant-based proteins is increasing owing to the growing vegan and vegetarian population and rising lactose intolerance among consumers. Plant-based proteins are used as a meat alternative as they can mimic the taste and texture of meat.
Plant-based proteins are the only source of nutrition for vegans and vegetarians. People choose a vegan diet because they believe it is beneficial for their health. For vegans and vegetarians, plant-based proteins are the healthiest source of nourishment. When it comes to improving their health through food, vegan and vegetarian consumer continue to prioritize nutrition.
This trend is projected to drive plant-based proteins market growth across the world.
Veganism has been popular in well-established markets such as North America and Europe. In growing economies such as South Asia and East Asia, this practice is gaining traction. Growing popularity of the vegan trend is predicted to boost demand for plant-based proteins on a global scale.
Currently, the global value of plant-based proteins is estimated at US$ 13.12 Bn, with a predicted CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2032.
“Rising Use of Plant-based Meat across Regions”
With the rise in the number of health-conscious consumers, food produced from plant proteins and developed to match the taste and texture of meat has surged into the mainstream market. As established food companies and start-ups are introducing plant-based meat products, plant proteins are gaining acceptance among the general public.
“Increasing Concerns about Food Sensitivity”
In developed economies around the world, food allergies are on the rise. Food sensitivities are increasingly influencing consumer interests. Plant proteins are consumed mainly by vegetarians, while allergies to gluten, soy, and others are preventing a large number of people from doing so.
Plant proteins are gaining popularity as dairy protein alternatives due to their significant nutritional value. They also have the advantage of being non-GMO and allergen-free. As a result, the global market for plant protein food products is predicted to rise as demand for dairy-free and lactose-free food grows.
“Plant-based Proteins - Environmentally Sustainable”
Plant-based proteins contain essential muscle-building ingredients and proteins in concentrations ranging from 50% to 85%. They stand out when compared to other protein sources since they are environmentally sustainable.
Consumers are becoming more aware of the benefits of plant-based proteins, and, as a result, demand natural, environment-friendly, and allergen-free products. Growing consumer concerns about animal-based goods and the environment are leading to an increase in the number of people following a flexitarian diet, which is expected to have a beneficial impact on the target market.
The cropping system of plant proteins is eco-friendly, and hence, preferred by consumers. Moreover, plant-based proteins are not made from any commonly allergenic foods such as milk and eggs. Consumers are becoming aware of the beneficial properties of plant-based proteins, thereby augmenting market expansion.
“Rising Demand for Plant-based Proteins for Weight Management”
To tackle the problem of obesity and the rising prevalence of diseases, brought about by changing lifestyles, the need for nutritious food will continue to increase across the world. Increasing use of plant-based protein diet plans, health and fitness clubs, as well as increased education and awareness about obesity, are all driving the growth of the health and wellness sector.
Plant-based proteins are considered the most effective for weight loss. Increasing need for weight management among consumers is expected to boost the demand for plant-based proteins over the forecast period.
The landscape of consumer health is shifting rapidly, with consumers constantly making changes in their healthcare routines and demanding alternatives to animal proteins. Rising concerns regarding dairy allergens are also expected to fuel the demand for plant-based protein products.
