Plant-based Protein Market to be Worth $26.45 Billion by 2031

Plant-based Protein Market by Type (Soy Proteins, Wheat Proteins, Pea Proteins, Potato Proteins), Form (Solid, Liquid), Source Process (Conventional, Organic), and Application (Food and Beverages, Animal Feed, Nutritional Supplements) - Global Forecast to 2031


Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘Plant-based Proteins Market By Type (Soy Proteins, Wheat Proteins, Pea Proteins, Potato Proteins), Form (Solid, Liquid), Source Process (Conventional, Organic), and Application (Food and Beverages, Animal Feed, Nutritional Supplements) - Global Forecast to 2031.’

According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the plant-based proteins market is projected to reach $26.45 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2024–2031. The growth of the plant-based proteins market is mainly driven by the rising need for protein-rich diets, growing health and wellness trends, increasing consumer focus on meat alternatives, rising demand from the food & beverage industry, and advancements in ingredient technologies, such as microencapsulation. However, the consumer preference for animal-based products and fluctuating raw material prices are expected to hinder the growth of this market.

Furthermore, consumers’ increasing inclination toward plant-based diets, emerging economies, and rising prevalence of intolerance to animal proteins are expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in the plant-based proteins market.

Key Players

The key players operating in the global plant-based proteins market are Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (U.S.), Cargill, Incorporated (U.S.), Roquette Frères (France), Ingredion Incorporated (U.S.), Kerry Group plc (Ireland), International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. (IFF) (U.S.), Now Health Group, Inc. (U.S.), Tate & Lyle Plc (U.K.), Axiom Foods Inc. (U.S.), AMCO Protein (U.S.), Burcon NutraScience Corporation (Canada), BENEO GmbH (A Part of Südzucker AG) (Germany), Glico Nutrition Co., Ltd (Japan), Glanbia Plc (Ireland), Cosucra Groupe Warcoing SA (Belgium), Sotexpro (France), Farbest-Tallman Foods Corporation (U.S.), Crespel & Deiters GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), Wilmar International (Singapore), and CHS Inc. (U.S.).

The global plant-based proteins market is segmented by type, form, source process, application, and geography.

Based on type, the global plant-based proteins market is segmented into soy proteins, wheat proteins, pea proteins, canola proteins, potato proteins, rice proteins, corn proteins, and other types. In 2024, the soy proteins segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global plant-based proteins market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to its easy availability, lower price of soy protein than other protein sources, increased demand for meat protein alternatives, a wide range of applications in various products, greater consumer awareness, and multiple health benefits.

Based on form, the global plant-based proteins market is categorized into solid (dry) and liquid. In 2024, the solid segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global plant-based proteins market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing demand for powdered plant-based protein due to its benefits, such as ease of handling and transport, comparatively lower costs, low chances of formulation errors, and ingredient stability. This segment is also expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on source process, the global plant-based proteins market is broadly segmented into conventional plant-based protein ingredients and organic plant-based protein ingredients. In 2024, the conventional plant-based protein ingredients segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global plant-based proteins market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the widespread availability of crops cultivated through traditional harvesting methods (utilizing chemical fertilizers), the easy accessibility to cost-effective conventional plant-based protein ingredients, the extended shelf life of these proteins, and the availability of a diverse range of crop varieties.

Based on application, the global plant-based proteins market is segmented into food & beverage, animal feed, nutrition & health supplements, pharmaceuticals, and other applications. In 2024, the food & beverage segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global plant-based proteins market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to increasing consumer preference for plant-based foods and ingredients, growing awareness and demand for protein-rich food products, plant-based proteins' versatile functionality and compatibility with vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, and the rising clean-label trend.

Based on region, the global plant-based proteins market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the global plant-based proteins market. The leading position of this region is primarily attributed to the well-established food and beverage industry, rising concerns over animal products and protein, increasing vegan population, growing preference for meat alternatives, and increasing demand for healthy & nutritional products and health & wellness trends.
