Plant Protein Market Dynamics

Plant Protein Market Driver

  • Plant-based protein innovation and advances to supplement the vegan trend

According to 2019 research issued by the European Vegetarian Union, Europe's vegan population accounts for more than 6% of the total population. Furthermore, according to The Vegan Society, the vegan population in the UK surpassed 600,000 in 2019, representing a 300% growth over the vegan population in 2014. This was one of the primary motivations motivating food and beverage businesses to innovate and develop meat replacements, dairy alternatives, and protein nutritional beverages, as well as giving a boost to plant-based food and beverages. Archer Daniels Midland Company (US), DuPont (US), Roquette Frères (France), Kerry Group (Ireland), Ingredion (US), Beyond Meat (US), and Tyson Foods (US) have all prioritized the development of plant-based protein products and beverages.

Plant Protein Market Opportunity

  • Rising emphasis on aquatic plants as new and developing protein sources

The shift toward personalized nutrition has been swift as consumer health awareness has grown. In recent years, customers have become more mindful and specific about the food they consume and its consequences on the body. Aside from soy, wheat, and pea as primary sources of plant-based protein, aquatic plants offer a huge possibility to collect proteins and components that match the consumers' particular physiological and metabolic needs. The natural synthesis of plant-based protein is the outcome of a sequence of transformations in which many chemical constituents combine in a precise form, with energy provided by sunlight. The chlorophyll found in plants is the critical agent responsible for this unique mechanism. Over 70% of solar energy is directed toward the oceans and freshwater bodies including rivers, lakes, and wetlands. A largely untapped reservoir of aquatic proteins fit for human consumption exists in the world's water bodies and can be expanded through advanced aquaculture techniques.

Plant-based protein innovation and advances to supplement the vegan trend

Increasing incidences of animal protein intolerance is driving the demand for plant-based proteins. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, eggs, milk, fish, and red meat cause the vast majority of food allergies. Because of animal protein sensitivities, most meat consumers prefer meat alternatives comprised of vegan protein, which boosts the plant protein market. According to the allergy data collecting reference list, allergen levels in chicken flesh range from 0.5 to 5% in Southern Europe. Pea protein, a complete protein, can be used in a variety of egg-based items such as pasta, vermicelli, cakes, and cookies. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 12.2 million people in the United States have a food allergy, with egg allergy accounting for two-thirds of the cases. Consumption of animal-based proteins may increase the prevalence of allergies induced by them; thus, food manufacturers in developed countries are adding plant-based food ingredients to cater to the vegan community.

In 2022, North America is expected to register largest market share in the Plant Protein market, followed by Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Changing lifestyles, a lack of balanced nutritional consumption, and enhanced R&D to develop new types of plant-protein enriched goods are contributing to the region’s growth. The United States continues to hold the greatest market share for plant protein, followed by Canada and Mexico. The desire for processed and low-cholesterol foods has opened the way for the region's plant-based protein sector. Nowadays, people all over the world are converting to alternative products such as green label food products, which, together with increased awareness of healthy and plant-based products, is propelling the market forward.
