Global Alternative Protein Market size worth over USD 193.75 Billion by 2028

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., Alternative Protein Market size is set to surpass USD 193.75 billion by the end of 2028.
 

Plant based proteins are environment friendly, more nutritious, healthy, and easy to digest. Plant based protein includes soy protein concentrates, duckweed protein, soy protein isolates, fermented soy protein, and others. Insect protein can be used as a part of daily food intake as insects are the major source of essential fats, vitamins, minerals such as iron and calcium. Insect-based proteins are obtained from edible insects which are safe for protein production.
 

Locusts, meal worms, black soldier fly and crickets are mostly used insects for protein production. Microbial proteins provide a feasible and healthy alternative to long-established animal and plant-based proteins. Microbial protein is fabricated from microbial cell culture, such as algae, yeast, and bacteria. It is alternative inception of high?quality protein that can substitute animal protein, such as fishmeal in aquaculture feed, livestock feed, and nutrition.
 

Rapid movement toward sustainability along with a focus on animal welfare is driving the demand for plant-based protein

Global plant-based alternative protein market is likely to surpass USD 139.15 billion in 2028. The increasing consumer inclination toward plant-based diets owing to an array of nutritional benefits is expected to augment the demand for plant-based proteins for a variety of food applications. High-protein sources from plants include lentils, tempeh, nuts, seeds, and quinoa, offering a range of amino acids which are used in a variety of food products.
 

The plant-based proteins offer a variety of health benefits including weight loss, providing healthy muscles and tissues owing to which they are widely used in food products. Increasing consumer preference toward vegan and vegetarian diets should increase the demand for plant-based protein food products. Also, consumers with flexitarian diets promote the consumption of plant-based proteins due to their high fiber, essential nutrients, and benefits of low fat & calories, which is expected to positively impact the demand for plant-based proteins.
 

Increasing use of plant-based proteins in meat-free balls, burgers, and sausages along with product use in food & beverages, such as smoothies, puddings, and baked goods with a variety of added flavors, is likely to proliferate the alternative protein demand. Increasing consumer shift toward vegan diets, sustainable sources, and high nutritional diets are a few factors that are expected to create ample opportunities for alternative protein market growth.
