According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Protein Ingredients Market Report by Product Type (Animal Proteins, Plant Proteins), Application (Food and Beverages, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Animal Feed), and Region 2025-2033,” the global protein ingredients market size reached USD 44.0 Billion in 2024. Protein forms an important component of the human body. It repairs tissues and is an essential building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. A balanced consumption of protein offers several benefits, owing to which it forms an essential part of the daily diet. Protein ingredients consist of large molecules of amino acids that assist in regulating weight, improving immunity and physical strength, and reducing muscle loss. As a result, they are extensively utilized across various industries including food and beverages in the production of dairy and bakery products, infant formula, beverages, and dietary supplements.
Global Protein Ingredients Market Trends:
Owing to the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes and malnutrition amongst the masses, there has been a rise in the number of health-conscious consumers across the globe. As a result, protein-rich food and beverages such as dietary supplements and sports nutrition products, which offer the right amount of protein nutrition, are constantly gaining popularity. Moreover, an increasing number of health and fitness clubs on a global level also acts as a major growth-inducing factor. This, in confluence with the growing demand for soy proteins in snacks and dairy products, is providing impetus to the market growth. Furthermore, with changing lifestyles, the preparation of conventionally protein-rich products has become difficult. On the other hand, protein ingredients products are easy to cook and can be consumed on-the-go, which is contributing significantly to their demand. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market value is anticipated to reach USD 65.3 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 4.5% during 2025-2033.
