Plant Based Protein Market Size By Source (Soy, Wheat, Pea, Rice, Potato, Corn, Others), Type (Concentrates, Isolates, Textured), Form (Dry, Liquid), Application (Food & Beverages, Animal Feed, Nutritional Supplements), and Region Global Market Analysis And Forecast, 2022-2028

Market Overview

Plant-based Protein Market size is projected to reach USD 16.80 Billion by 2028 from an estimated USD 10.67 Billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% globally.

Protein serves as an imperious macronutrient in human health, nutrition and well-being. Owing to the socio-economic changes such as ageing populations, increasing income levels, rapidly growing urbanization and crucial transitions in dietary patterns, protein demand is increasing rapidly amongst the population. Further, due to such changes, consumers tend to choose plant-based protein diets and meals which provide high nutrition and maintain the human health. Plant-based proteins are simply termed as a meaningful source of food that are highly rich in protein and are obtained from plants. Major sources of plant-based protein include pulses, tofu, soya, seeds, nuts, tempeh, grains, seitan, peas and others. Rising concerns about animal-based products and environmental changes accelerate the market growth of plant-based protein food. The natural, allergen-free and environmental-friendly properties of plant-based proteins are the major factors that are propelling the rising demand for plant-based proteins across the globe.
