Increasing usage of functional protein by various end-user industries drives the demand close to USD 5.70 Billion

Functional proteins are used in various applications such as dietary supplements and food & beverages due to the rising demand for food products with improved functionalities. The ability of functional protein manufacturers to develop distinct isolates, concentrates, and other forms of protein ingredients for different food products, such as dairy products, beverages, dietary supplements, infant formula, bakery products, and confectionery products, is expected to drive the growth of the functional proteins market during the forecast period.

The global functional proteins market is projected to reach USD 5.70 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2017. The growth of the functional proteins market is driven by consumer awareness about a healthy diet, increasing instances of chronic diseases, and technological upgradation in the functional proteins market. The key drivers for the market are the shift in demand from processed to healthy and functional food.

Regulations for animal-sourced proteins are major restraints for the market

The US-FDA (US Food & Drug Administration) has strict regulations regarding proteins sourced from mammalian tissues.  For instance, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) of New Zealand prohibits the feeding of ruminant protein in any form, composition, or admixture to ruminants due to the risk of spreading Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease. As a result, the restriction has had an adverse effect on the supply of protein ingredients sourced from animals worldwide as it restricts the trade and availability of certain animal-based proteins meant for human consumption.

Whey protein is one of the major ingredients for manufacturing several milk-based products and is used by many food & beverage manufacturers as a protein source for product innovation. The major whey proteins are á-lactalbumin and â-lactoglobulin, which find significant demand from the processed food & beverage industry. The production of whey protein concentrates (WPCs) involves the processing of fluid whey through ultrafiltration to produce a variety of WPCs. WPCs are commonly used as a source of protein in functional food & beverages owing to their easy availability or ease of production and low cost as compared to hydrolysates and isolates.

WPCs have several functionalities in the food & beverage industry. For instance, they are used as water binding agents, enabling viscosity, as an emulsifier, foaming agent, and also as a flavoring agent in food & beverages.

Market Dynamics

Leading functional protein manufacturers are developing sustainable and innovative solutions for existing and new applications to drive the industry forward.

Functional food

Functional food is conventional food that is consumed as part of the diet, which along with nutrition, provides various health benefits. Protein is added to functional food products to offer health benefits such as curbing the appetite in order to help toward weight management. Due to this, there is a rising trend for healthier snacks such as protein-based bars among consumers.

Functional foods can be classified into the following categories:

Infant formula:

Companies are developing functional proteins such as protein hydrolysates for infant food for children with an allergy to cow’s milk (CMP/CMPA). The most common protein hydrolysates seen in infant formula are casein and whey proteins hydrolysate.

Sports nutrition/Clinical nutrition:

Food products containing functional proteins for sports nutrition include protein powders, protein bars, and ready-to-drink (RTD) protein products.

Whey protein is one of the primary ingredients used in various sports nutrition products due to fast absorption and relatively low cost. Isolate is a premium functional protein type due to the less fat and carbohydrates content.

Functional Beverages

Functional beverages are popular with consumers due to the various health benefits associated with their consumption. Due to this rising consumption of functional protein drinks, the demand for the functional proteins is expected to increase during the forecast period. The hectic lifestyles of the working middle-class population demand the use of convenience products for on-the-go consumption to save time

Further, companies are offering various functional beverage products such as whey-juice drinks, soy-juice drinks, and protein shakes, which are excellent alternatives to conventional beverages and are preferable sources of protein. There is a rising trend of companies offering functional beverages fortified with whey protein isolates, which contain low fat and lactose. This whey protein isolate improves the functional attributes of different beverages such as juices.

Dietary Supplements

Dietary supplements come in the form of capsules, liquids, powders, or tablets and are consumed to balance the deficiencies of certain nutrient components in diets. In dietary supplements, one of the upcoming trends is the intake of protein powder, which promotes muscle gain, fat loss, and provides nutritional benefits.

There is a growing consumption of different types of functional proteins, of which whey protein is a popular diet supplement among consumers of all ages. Weight-loss supplements that include whey powder as an appetite suppressor is also witnessing an increasing trend of consumption.

Animal Nutrition Products

The market for feed ingredients such as protein is expected to experience significant growth in the future as feed manufacturers tend to attain more output from animals due to which various nutritious ingredients are used in feed. The use of functional proteins that offer physiological and microbiological benefits to the digestive systems of livestock & companion animals is becoming more prevalent across the modern feed and pet care industries. Various ingredient manufacturers offer a range of ingredients, such as protein for animal nutrition applications. Pea protein, whether concentrate or isolate, is used in feed such as pet food for nutritional fortification.
