Lentil Protein Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The lentil protein market is valued at US$151.363 million in 2025, which is expected to grow to US$190.394 million in 2030, with a CAGR of 4.70%.

The growing consumer interest in health-oriented food and beverage choices, increased awareness of the environmental impact of livestock farming, concerns regarding animal welfare, and a rising preference for plant-based protein sources are all contributing to the expansion of the lentil protein market globally. Additionally, the emergence of plant-based alternatives to meat and fish is a response to the demand for clean consumption - food products that are free from diseases, chemicals, and high levels of pollutants. The increasing dissemination of information about potential health risks associated with chemicals used in animal feed also encourages the incorporation of plant-based protein ingredients into animal feed. Furthermore, millennials, who are increasingly aligned with values that promote sustainability and health, are driving this trend. To achieve economies of scale, food processing companies are investing in product innovations that utilize plant-based proteins like lentil protein. These strategic initiatives not only allow for an expanded product portfolio but also enhance regional presence, further propelling the growth of the lentil protein market in the coming years.
Geographic Outlook of the Lentil Protein Market:The lentil protein market is segmented by geography into the Americas and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

• Americas: The lentil protein market in the Americas is experiencing significant growth due to increasing consumer demand for plant-based and sustainable protein sources. The United States and Canada are leading this growth with a health-conscious population seeking alternatives to animal-derived proteins. This trend is supported by a robust food and beverage industry that is rapidly incorporating lentil protein into products such as plant-based meats, protein bars, dairy alternatives, and functional beverages. Additionally, countries like Brazil and Argentina are contributing to market growth through enhanced lentil cultivation and innovative processing technologies that improve protein extraction and product quality.
• EMEA: The EMEA regions are also key players in the lentil protein market. Europe is particularly prominent in sustainability and clean-label ingredients, with countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and France being major adopters of lentil protein across various food applications. The growing vegetarian and vegan populations in these countries are driving demand for plant-based proteins. Furthermore, stringent regulations promoting sustainable agriculture and food safety are bolstering market growth. Although still developing in the Middle East and Africa, there is a gradual increase in the use of lentil protein in local cuisines and processed foods, supported by initiatives aimed at improving food security and diversifying protein sources.
• Asia Pacific: The Asia Pacific region is expected to experience the most significant growth in the lentil protein market due to population growth, rising income levels, and increasing health consciousness. Countries such as India, China, and Australia are at the forefront of this growth. In India, traditional dietary preferences for lentils form a strong foundation for accepting lentil protein. In China, demand is driven by a growing middle class shifting toward healthier and more sustainable food options. Australia is advancing agricultural practices with a focus on plant-based innovation.

Moreover, substantial investments in research and development aimed at enhancing the functionality and versatility of lentil protein are benefiting the APAC region. Government initiatives promoting plant-based diets and sustainable agricultural practices further contribute to market growth. The increasing presence of multinational food companies introducing lentil protein-based products tailored to local tastes is another crucial factor driving this market expansion. As demand for convenient ready-to-eat meals that incorporate lentil protein rises, Asia Pacific is poised to become a leading region in the global lentil protein market in the coming years.
