Pea protein is obtained from green and yellow split peas and is mostly used to make protein powder. It often serves as a base in packaged foods like veggie burgers, vegan mayo, and even replaces dairy in some ice creams and milk. Pea protein is an excellent source of iron. It is added in food products such as smoothies and shakes to increase the protein content and is also a great fit for almost all diet since it's naturally vegan and hypoallergenic. Pea protein contains nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce. North America held the largest share of the global pea protein market. Based on type, the global pea protein market has been segmented into pea protein isolates, pea protein concentrates, and textured pea protein. The pea protein isolates segment dominated the global pea protein market in 2018. Pea protein isolate is extracted from yellow peas, which is processed by means of a cold-water filtration method to decrease or eliminate much of the added fiber and starch content that is naturally-occurring within the pea. The resulting powder preserves a nutritional profile containing over 80% protein by volume that is equivalent to a standard whey protein concentrate. Pea protein isolate is rich in Arginine, Glutamine, Leucine, and other essential amino acids. Pea protein Isolate can be used to help enrich many dishes, including bread, pancakes, or muffins. Pea protein bears a good taste, particularly when mixed with one of the natural flavor systems.

The rising acceptance of veganism, surging interest in veganism, and innovations in vegan foods has fuelled the demand for plant based products including pea proteins. In a bid to meet the daily protein requirements from plant-based sources, a significant vegan and vegetarian population base has shifted toward pea protein supplements owing to their various health benefits over other plant based proteins. A number of premium pea protein isolate products are marketed as they have lower cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, and hemoglobin A1C levels as well avert the risks of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, the health benefits of pea proteins in muscle building and supporting the health of bones, tissues, and muscles has aroused the curiosity of a wider consumer base and contributed toward the popularity of pea proteins. Rising popularity and awareness about pea protein across the globe has considerably augmented the growth of the pea protein market.
