Dublin, March 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Protein Alternatives Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2020-2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global protein alternatives market is projected to grow with a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period (2020-2025).
The market studied has witnessed a significant growth due to the increasing intolerance toward animal protein, thereby leading to the shift in preference of the meat-consuming population toward meat substitutes made of vegan protein, therefore, driving the market studied.
Consumers in developing regions, like Asia-Pacific and Africa, have started to incorporate more protein in their daily diets. Many companies operating in the market place have started to initiate awareness programs and campaigns, which can be directed to make the consumers understand the benefits of alternative proteins and establish popularity among consumers.
Increasing Demand for Vegan-Protein
The protein alternatives market is witnessing a shift in consumer demand from animal protein to plant protein. This inclination toward a plant-based diet is associated with different factors, such as sustainability issues, health awareness, ethical or religious views, and environmental and animal rights. According to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 12.2 million people are suffering from a food allergy, of which two-thirds is associated with egg allergy. Also, according to the reference list of allergen data collection, the allergen from chicken meat ranges from 0.5-5% in Southern Europe. Consumers around the world are inclining toward plant-based protein diets. Around 33% of Canadians and around 17% of Australians have turned into flexitarians.
North America to Dominate the Global Market
The United States dominates the North American protein alternatives market by more than 60%. While there is still a strong dominance of animal protein among the US population, plant protein, such as soy, lentils, beans, etc., has been gaining high traction from the past few years. This is due to the high penetration of vegan protein-based products in the retail market and increased consumer awareness on the health benefits associated with it, along with weight management. With the existing business opportunities in the protein alternatives market, many companies are strategical, including business expansion plans, specifically in the plant protein category.
Competitive Landscape

Cargill leads the market among the major players in the protein alternatives market. These companies, in order to retain their position within the market or gain an advantage over its competitors, have set their focus on research and development.
