Alternative Protein Market: Outlook

There is huge awareness about benefits derived due to the intake of alternative proteins among the population of countries possessing huge economic wealth. For the record, meat has been the key source of protein in developed countries for many years. However, rapidly altering consumer behavior and keen inclination toward alternative protein consumption due to health concerns & environmental issues has prompted huge demand for alternative proteins. Reportedly, sales of plant-based food – the highest source of alternative protein- rose to nearly 18% in 2018 and will continue to surge even in near future.

Alternative Protein Market: Growth Drivers

Growing customer interest in good health and ethical considerations such as animal welfare has created a huge demand for alternative proteins, thereby driving market trends. Direct intake of vegetable proteins in the diet has been increasing in recent years due to diseases occurring in animals. Apart from this, the shortage of animal protein, fluctuations in the purchasing capacity of individuals, and ethical concerns have compelled consumers to opt for a plant-based diet. This has resulted into huge demand for alternative proteins. With the large-scale surge in legume consumption & intake of oilseed proteins in the routine diet of individuals owing to high-protein contents of the former, the market for alternative protein is anticipated to gain traction.

As per NIH researchers, legumes and oilseeds offer balanced amino acids when consumed with cereals. Reportedly, Soybean proteins, cottonseed proteins, wheat gluten, peas, and other plant-based protein foods are utilized for texturization and can be consumed as meat analogs. Nonetheless, these texturized vegetable proteins are cost-effective, functional, and rich sources of proteins. All these aforementioned factors will steer growth in size of the alternative protein market.
