Executive Summary
According to this report, the pea protein market was valued at $94.60 million in 2022, and is estimated to reach $227.1 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2023 to 2032.Pea protein comes from from green and yellow peas and is used to make protein powders and nutritious meals. Pea protein includes all of the necessary amino acids for proper physiological function. It aids in weight control, circulatory health and intake of calcium, muscular maintenance, metabolic enhancement, and blood sugar regulation. The protein found in peas contains lactose-free and suitable for persons who are intolerant or sensitive to dairy or eggs. As a consequence, vegetarians and vegans prefer pea protein powder to dairy protein supplements such as casein, whey proteins, eggs, or meat.
The global pea protein market is strongly driven by growth in demand for plant-based proteins from vegan population. Rise in health consciousness, soaring multiple health benefits, and increase in demand for meat protein alternatives have increased the demand for pea protein among consumers. In addition, due to diversity in countries, meat protein is not acceptable by all the customers, and they have been looking for healthy and sustainable meat protein alternatives. In that case, pea protein becomes the best replacement for them as it is natural, easily available, and affordable source of protein, thereby driving the pea protein market.
The use of pea protein as an alternative for other protein & non-protein ingredients in numerous applications, such as dietary & nutritional supplements, meat alternatives & extenders, snacks, beverages, and other bakery & confectionery goods by food industries, drives the global sales of pea protein. Other factors, such as increase in living standards, surge in demand for healthy & nutritional products, growth in economy, and rise in urbanization, are indirectly influencing the growth of the global pea protein market in a positive way. However, low consumer awareness about the pea protein-based products and market penetration of animal protein and other plant-based proteins, such as soy, rice, and wheat, hampers the growth of this market to some extent. Formulation challenges in pea protein products is further a major factor hindering the growth of the pea protein market. Pea protein is a great source of iron and lysine, which help support muscle growth and a healthy immune system. Further, it contains amino acids essential for healthy body function, and it is easily digestible. Most of the pet/domesticated animal owners ensure that their pets are fed on nutritious feed to avoid diseases and prevent nutrition deficiency. Inclusion of pea proteins as an alternative protein source for pet foods has been an area of focus for most of the pet feed manufacturers, which is expected to provide ample of opportunities for the pea protein industry.
The use of plant proteins in food products is expected to increase substantially in the future, due to increase in awareness toward protein-rich diet, rise in health consciousness, growth in economy, rapid urbanization, and presence of large base of vegan population. To cater to the emerging consumer trends, the food industry is continually seeking for cheaper and healthier protein ingredients to replace those derived from animal sources such as whey, casein, gelatin, and ovalbumin- & gluten-based proteins. Pea protein has a neutral taste and possesses a typical amino acid profile, making it a feasible choice for the food industry.
Although pea protein is a rich source of numerous nutrients such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, it still lacks few nutrients and thus cannot replace protein sources such as whey, soy, casein, and others. Moreover, animal-based proteins dominate the protein ingredients industry, thus restraining the growth of the pea protein market. Animal-based proteins are the superior source of protein as they contain all the essential amino acids required for healthy body functioning as compared to plant-based proteins. Furthermore, new technologies and advancements in food industries have enabled the manufacturers to introduce wide range of superior animal-based protein products that are dominating protein ingredients market, thus restraining pea protein market growth. After animal-based protein, consumer prefer other plant-based proteins such as soy and rice; thus, inclination of consumer toward pea protein is low affecting the growth of market. The pea protein industry is still at its nascent stage, and is expected to take longer to retain its place among wide assortment of other proteins. In addition, strong marketing & positioning strategies adopted by leading companies are anticipated to create barriers for pea protein manufacturers to sustain the competition, thereby restraining the growth of the market.
Pea protein has been more popular around the globe due to its versatility as a functional food ingredient and protein supplement. Pea protein was developed in response to the constantly evolving and growing demand for wholesome, delicious food. Pea protein is now widely used as a notable protein substitute in industrialized nations of North America and Europe. The market for pea protein is expanding in the Asia-Pacific and LAMEA regions due to other factors such as rise in disposable income, a steady expansion in the food & beverages sectors, increase in demand for organic foods, and advancements in protein-based products.
