(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, September 29, 2021 ) According to MarketsandMarkets, the global protein ingredients market was estimated to be valued at USD 52.5 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 70.7 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 6.1%, in terms of value.
The market is mainly driven by factors such as the increasing demand for protein functionalities, awareness about healthy diets and nutritional food, new technological development in the protein ingredients industry, growth in demand for superior personal care and healthcare products, and rising consumption of animal by-products. Europe will dominate the global market due to the high consumption of animal protein in the region. Further, the increasing emphasis of the European population on healthier lifestyles will lead to the growth of the market in the region.
Protein ingredients sourced from animals and plants are well-known for their emulsification, gelation/viscosity, water-binding/hydration, foaming, aeration, and other functional properties. These functionalities, along with the nutritional aspects of proteins, are a major advantage to end-user industries, and are, thus, one of the major market drivers. In end-user industries such as cosmetic & personal care, protein ingredients are primarily used for their conditioning and moisturizing properties in the hair and skincare industries.
In major applications such as food & beverages, the use of protein ingredients continues to grow with the increasing demand for improved functionalities. The ability of protein ingredient manufacturers to design and develop specific isolates, concentrates, and other forms of protein ingredients for various applications is likely to drive the growth of the protein ingredients market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 is expected to boost the demand for protein ingredients at a higher rate in the global market as people across the globe are more health-conscious and finding ways to strengthen their immunity.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Protein Ingredients Market:
The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the equally rapid government response to restrict the movement of the majority of the population in different countries have dramatically changed the consumption patterns, which has also impacted the food & agriculture industries.
The significant changes in consumer purchasing behavior are gradually transforming the food industry. Due to rising health concerns, consumers have started avoiding the consumption of meat and poultry. They are now more inclined toward protein substitute products to fill in the gap. The sales of immunity-related ingredients have spiked globally. These trends have fueled the demand for protein-based products as protein is one of the most important constituents that help in building immunity. However, the coronavirus has caused a severe disruption in the supply chain and has influenced the supply of ingredients and raw materials. Companies are constantly trying to handle the situation and be ready for any further disruption.
