IMARC Group’s latest report, titled “Plant Based Protein Market Report by Source (Soy, Wheat, Pea, and Others), Type (Concentrates, Isolates, Textured), Nature (Conventional, Organic), Application (Food, Feed), and Region 2024-2032,” finds that the global plant based protein market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.82% during 2024-2032. Plant-based protein is obtained from various plants instead of animals or fish. Some popular plant-based protein sources are tofu, soy, pulses, nuts, seeds, grains, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, oat, rice, and peas. It is typically lower in calories and saturated fats than animal proteins but higher in fiber and essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and probiotics. It helps in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disorders, cancer, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. It also contains phytochemicals, which aid in lowering weight, promoting gut health, and preventing obesity. Since it helps keep the genetic material and blood and nerve cells of the body healthy, plant-based protein is gaining immense traction across the globe.
Global Plant Based Protein Market Trends:
The emerging trend of veganism and the rising health consciousness among consumers represent the primary factors driving the market growth. Besides this, the growing awareness about the high nutritional value of plant-based proteins has augmented the product demand. Additionally, there has been a substantial shift from animal-based products to plant-based foods and beverages due to the surging concerns regarding animal cruelty and increasing instances of food allergies. In line with this, the shifting focus toward a sustainable life and reducing dependence on animal proteins has catalyzed market growth. Furthermore, the leading manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development (R&D) activities to launch innovative plant-protein-enriched products to cater to the rapidly expanding vegan population. Along with this, the introduction of ready-to-drink plant-based protein supplements has accelerated product adoption rates among health and fitness enthusiasts. Apart from this, the rising preferences for clean-label products and the increasing adoption of pea protein owing to its allergen-free, gluten-free, and lactose-free properties have propelled the market growth. Other factors, including the emerging food and beverage (F&B) industry, an increasing number of flexitarian consumers, surging incidences of lifestyle diseases, escalating demand for meat substitutes, and continual innovations in the production process, are also creating a favorable market outlook.
