Benchmarking the rapid strategy shifts of the Top 100 companies in the Plant-based Protein Market
Request Now[149 Pages Report] The plant-based protein market is estimated to account for a value of USD 18.5 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at CAGR of 14.0% from 2019, to reach a value of USD 40.6 billion by 2025. Plant-based protein products are derived from plant sources such as soy, wheat, and pea. Plant-based proteins are used in protein beverages, dairy alternatives, meat alternatives, proteins bars, nutrition supplements, processed meat, poultry & seafood, bakery, food, and sports nutrition products to enhance their nutritional and functional properties, such as texturing, emulsifying, solubility, stabilizing, and binding.
The major factors expected to drive the growth of the plant-based protein industry are the growing number of product launches, expansions, and investment by major players, consumers cutting down on meat consumption and adopting plant-based proteins,nutritional benefits offered by plant-based food, and increasing preference of consumers for the adoption of a vegan diet. Recently, ADM (US) expanded its geographic footprint in Brazil with the construction of a new soy protein production complex in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, at a value of USD 250 million. The complex will manufacture a range of functional protein concentrates and isolates for ADMs current product line.
Consumers are focused towards a better understanding of the provenance of their food and avoid products deemed unnatural or unhealthy. These clean eating trends, driven primarily by millennials, favor foods that are healthy, ethically and naturally sourced, and less processed. Increased plant-based protein product consumption is a direct consequence of this shift.
By source, the soy segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
This segment is driven by the increasing popularity and rising demand for a high-protein diet among individuals. Soy protein helps to reduce the cholesterol level, improve metabolism, bone mineral density, and also decrease the risk of cancer. Soy protein isolates are used in applications such as nutritional bars, meat alternatives, bakery products, sports nutrition products, and beverages.
By type, the isolates segment is projected to dominate the plant-based protein market during the forecast period.
Protein isolates contain a higher amount of protein along with greater digestibility. Isolates are demanded widely in protein and nutrition-oriented applications such as sports nutrition, protein beverages, and nutrition supplements. In recent years, they have been required more from athletes, bodybuilders, vegetarians, and have gained an extensive application in various beverages and dairy products, due to their different functional properties.
Owing to the increasing awareness for healthy food ingredients and the trend of weight management among consumers is projected to drive the plant-based meat market in North America
Plant-based proteins are highly versatile and can be used in applications such as meat analogs and meat extenders. According to research conducted by key players in the market and government surveys, it has been recorded that consumers are demanding meat alternatives to reduce their meat consumption. This has resulted in a decrease in the demand for meat. For instance, pea proteins are used by processed meat manufacturers as a replacement, thus making them more economical.
Key Market Players
The key players in this market include Cargill (US), Archer Daniels Midland Company (US), DowDuPont (US), Glanbia Plc (Ireland), Kerry Group (Ireland), Tate & Lyle PLC (UK), Ingredion Incorporated (US), Burcon NutraScience Corporation (Canada), Royal DSM N.V, (Netherlands), Sotexpro S.A. (France), Axiom Foods (US), and The Scoular Company (US).
ADM (US) and DuPont Danisco (US) are the top two players in the global market. These companies have adopted expansion and investments as a key strategy to expand their presence in the plant-based protein market. For instance, in January 2019, ADM expanded its presence in Brazil with the construction of a new soy protein production complex in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, at a value of USD 250 million. The complex would manufacture a range of functional protein concentrates and isolates for ADMs current product line
