The escalating demand for vegan food is anticipated to drive the expansion of the soy flour market in the foreseeable future. Vegan food, characterized by the absence of any animal products or by-products, advocates for cruelty-free and sustainable alternatives. Soy flour, a highly versatile ingredient, is extensively utilized in a diverse array of vegan foods, offering a premium plant-based protein option. Notably, in March 2022, data from the Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA) and Good Food Institute (GFI) revealed a 6% growth in the US plant-based food industry in 2021, surpassing the overall food industry growth rate by threefold and reaching a total market size of $7.4 billion. Consequently, the surge in demand for vegan food is a key driver propelling the soy flour market.

The surging trend of health consciousness is poised to fuel the expansion of the soy flour market in the coming years. Health consciousness, indicative of an individual's active concern and efforts towards maintaining physical and mental well-being, is driving the preference for nutritious ingredients such as soy flour. With its adaptability and nutritional benefits, soy flour contributes to health promotion by aiding in cholesterol reduction, blood pressure management, and protection against heart disease. For instance, in January 2021, a survey conducted by Public Health England, an executive agency focused on public health in England, revealed that approximately 80% of adults over 18 have committed to adopting a healthy lifestyle, with 40% emphasizing a commitment to healthy eating. As a result, the escalating trend of health consciousness is a significant factor propelling the growth of the soy flour market.

The soy flour market is witnessing a prominent trend centered around product innovation, with key players dedicating substantial efforts to introduce novel products and fortify their market positions. A noteworthy example is the launch of Benson Hills' Truvail, a new soy protein ingredient portfolio, in February 2022. This portfolio encompasses high protein soy flour, a minimally processed variant of soy protein concentrate (SPC), and texturized proteins. TruVail products cater to both traditional soy protein applications and the rapidly expanding alternative plant-based protein markets. Notably, the portfolio emphasizes sustainability benefits, including a low carbon footprint achieved through regenerative agriculture practices and sustainable sourcing methods.

Major players in the soy flour sector are prioritizing collaboration and partnerships to enhance service reliability for customers. A strategic partnership example is the collaboration between Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM), a US-based food processing and commodities company, and Benson Hill in August 2022. This partnership aims to scale the production of innovative soy-based protein ingredients to meet the surging demand for plant-based proteins across diverse food and beverage markets. Under this exclusive licensing agreement in North America, ADM is slated to process and commercialize a portfolio of patented compounds derived from Benson Hill's Ultra-High Protein (UHP) soybeans.

In May 2022, Benson Hill, a prominent crop improvement company based in the United States, successfully completed the acquisition of ZFS Creston for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is poised to fortify Benson Hill's leadership position in the competitive plant-based protein industry and expedite the company's ongoing endeavors to establish more sustainable food systems. Additionally, the acquisition is expected to enhance Benson Hill's technological capabilities, enabling the company to leverage its advanced technology for the improvement of sustainability and nutritional aspects in the cultivation of corn and soybean crops. ZFS Creston, a US-based food-grade company specializing in white flake and soy flour manufacturing operations, aligns strategically with Benson Hill's objectives, contributing to the overall diversification and growth of the company's offerings in the dynamic plant-based protein sector. This acquisition underscores Benson Hill's commitment to driving innovation and sustainability within the food industry.
