Protein Ingredients Market: Animal Protein to Continue Reporting High Demand

The global market for protein ingredients has been witnessing an exponential proliferation over the last few years, thanks to the rising popularity of soy and pea proteins among consumers. The rising demand for eggs and dairy products is also supporting the growth of this market considerably. Over the coming years, the increasing consumer demand for ‘purer’ products with low processing is influencing the development of new products such as micellar casein and native whey, which is likely to drive this market substantially.

Apart from this, the rising uptake of protein ingredients in food and beverage products and the growing preference of consumers for fortified foods and foods enriched with protein ingredients is also projected to add to the progress of this market in the near future. However, the relatively lower consumption of plant proteins and the increasing concerns over the harmful effects of gelatin may limit the progress of this market over the next few years.
