Opportunities: Growing potential for plant-based proteins due to increased affinity for sustainable food sources

Consumers these days look out for terms such as “natural”, “organic”, and “GMO-free” in order to make instant purchase decisions. As a result, plant-based protein products remain the more preferable choice, to rely on growth opportunities. The demand for plant-based proteins such as soy proteins, potato proteins, wheat proteins, pea proteins, etc., are projected to grow due to the positioning of these plant-based proteins as a sustainable food source. Furthermore, the cost advantage, and a certain level of awareness regarding the authenticity of naturally-sourced products, act as few reasons as to why the popularity of this market has been growing.

By application, pet food segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market during the forecast period.

The growing expenditure on pet food products along with pet humanization in economies such as India and the US is expected to drive the market growth in the pet food segment. Changing consumer preferences driven by awareness toward meat sourcing practices, its ecological impact, and animal-borne diseases have led to more consumers opting out of meat consumption. The resulting change has led to consumer demand shifting from conventional animal-based proteins to plant-based alternatives.
