Global Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Insights

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market size was valued at USD 13.26 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 14.1 billion in 2023 to USD 21.13 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

Proteins and amino acids are very important for animals to grow and stay healthy. Animals like calves, broilers, and pigs need amino acids to get the nutrition they need and to speed up their metabolism. The feed protein market is now being driven by changing trends and people who know how good plant-based protein is. Additionally, increasing inclination towards a vegan diet, emerging economies such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa, and increasing intolerance for animal proteins provide significant growth opportunities for plant-based protein manufacturers. It has been seen that vegans and vegetarians who own pets or animals are more likely to feed their pets or animals plant-based protein. Since there isn't a big difference between animal-based protein for feed and plant-based protein for feed, the use of and demand for plant-based protein for feed has grown a lot in recent times and will drive the feed plant-based protein market during the analysis period.

US Feed Plant-Based Protein Market  is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Based on application, the Feed Plant-Based Protein Market  is segmented into pets, swine, ruminants, poultry, and aquatic animals. Based on region, the global Feed Plant-Based Protein market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and MEA.

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Analysis by Type

In the year 2021, the market sector for pea protein accounted for the largest feed plant-based protein market share and is the one that is expanding at the quickest rate, and soybean protein dominated the plant-based feed protein segment during the same time. Alternatives to the traditional protein components used in animal feed can be made from pea proteins. Pea protein is becoming more in demand as an essential component in the production of feed as a result of the numerous health advantages it offers as well as the simplicity with which it can be included in finished goods. These factors will propel the demand for feed plant-based protein during the analysis period.

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Analysis by Application

The pet industry was driving the plant-based protein market for animal feed in 2021. The pet food industry is leaning toward using more plant-based ingredients, and plant-based proteins are finding their way into more and more products. Increasing numbers of pet owners are opting for a vegetarian or vegan diet, which has spurred a rise in the popularity of plant-based pet food. More and more vegan and vegetarian pet owners are choosing to provide their animals with a diet based on plant-based proteins, which has been linked to a reduction in the incidence of some common health problems in pets. These factors are creating demand for the feed plant-based protein and are responsible for driving the global feed plant-based protein market during the analysis period.

Global Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Regional Insights

In 2021, the European market accounted for the most significant plant-based protein market share globally. Soy, pea, and wheat are three of the most popular plant-based sources of protein for animal feed in Europe. Rising demand for organic materials in the pet food and feed sector is expected to boost sales of plant-based protein components in both North America and Europe. Nonetheless, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to continue seeing significant demand for feed plant-based protein due to factors such as the rising adoption of pets, the expansion of metropolitan areas, the rise of animal husbandry, and the expansion of the meat-eating population. As pet owners in China continue to favor prepackaged pet food over raw ingredients, the demand for plant-based protein in feed is expected to stay high.

Global Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Dynamics

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Driver

The demand for vegetarian protein in the human population has led to a shift in the use of animal products in animal feed.

  • The demand for vegetarian protein in the human population has led to a shift in the use of animal products in animal feed. There is evidence that pets, including dogs and cats, share their owners' choice of a plant-based protein diet. Farm animal welfare and rights are the primary concern with meat-based pet food diets. Furthermore, most pet owners are animal enthusiasts, and as a result, they are more inclined to place a high value on the humane and ethical treatment of animals raised for food production. Strong growth drivers in recent years pushing plant-based pet food include an unhealthy impression of meat and environmental and sustainability concerns over animal protein manufacturing.

The increased Free-FORM MARKET.

  • The increased soy-free and gluten-free demands of the consumer is helping to drive the market. It quickly became the fastest-growing nutritional movement, gaining popularity for their health and therapeutic benefits.

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Restraint

Increasing costs and strict regulation in some regions are the major restraints to market growth.

  • In contrast to the more relaxed controls imposed by government regulators in the Asia Pacific and South American regions, authorities in Europe and North America are very particular about what goes into the animal feed they approve. Varied countries have different rules about what can and cannot be included in pet food, including things like preservatives, ethoxyquin, and food coloring. The global trade of feed ingredients has been stifled by the absence of a unified regulatory framework. Feed ingredient businesses have lost a lot of money while investing heavily. This is because of any laws.
