[Research Report] The pea protein market was valued at US$ 363.1 million in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ 1,112.2 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.9% during 2019-2027.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

The pea protein is available in three different types, including pea protein isolates, pea protein concentrates, and textured pea protein. The genotype of the pea plants affects the properties of the protein. Pea protein is a food additive with a neutral taste and is utilized in dairy alternatives such as cheeses and yogurt. The pea protein is mainly extracted from the yellow pea. Consumers are focusing a lot of attention on the protein content of the packed food products; pea protein offers a healthy alternative. Traditional methods to boost protein might have elaborate larger meat portions; however, evidence is resilient that excess red and treated meats increase risk of cancer and other long-lasting diseases. Increasing interest in plant-based and vegetarian diets is anticipated to promote the pea protein market to a greater extent. Proteins are generally made of amino acids and there are nearly nine amino acids that are essential in our diets. Hence, different types of pea protein such as pea protein isolates, pea protein concentrates, and textured pea protein are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period and are anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the manufacturers in the future.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Burgeoning vegan population base and growing popularity of plant-based protein has been driving the global pea protein market growth. The trend of veganism has seen a substantial rise in the recent years owing to a number of factors including general anxiety about the ill-effects of the meat industry on the environment, unethical treatment of farm animals, and the deleterious effects of meat products on the human health. 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 turned towards pea protein supplements owing to their various health benefits over other plant based proteins. Some plant-based protein sources such as grains, nuts, and seeds are incomplete sources of protein which do not contain all nine essential amino acids. However, pea protein is one of the few plant-based protein sources which is a complete protein replete with all the essential amino acids. The growing health consciousness has resulted in a significant population base adopt healthy eating habits by choosing vegetarianism and veganism as a way of life. Besides, the vegan and vegetarian population, a significant proportion of meat eaters also have started to include vegan and vegetarian meals in their diet regiment to gain the benefits of plant based diets. The growing inclination towards plant-based meals has necessitated the consumption of plant-based pea proteins in the form of pea protein supplements and powders.

Pea protein is generally well tolerated and has very few side effects while being considerably safe for consumption. Furthermore, pea protein is gluten-free, lactose-free, and hypoallergenic making it even more popular among consumers afflicted with allergies and food intolerance. A number of premium pea protein isolate products are marketed as having the potential to 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 repair and supporting the health of bones, tissues, and muscles has aroused the curiosity of a wider consumer base and contributed towards 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. Though the trend of veganism is catching up rapidly, a significant proportion of consumers still rely on animal based proteins to meet their daily protein requirements. This has led to lower demands for pea proteins in comparison to proteins derived from other sources. A number of plant-based and animal-based protein manufacturers have flooded the market with inexpensive protein powder and supplements. The deluge of other protein products coupled with lack of awareness about the health benefits of pea proteins has hindered the penetration of pea proteins across the global markets. Furthermore, the high cost entailed in extracting and processing pea proteins coupled with low processing output has restricted pea protein manufacturers from producing pea protein powders at reasonable prices and gaining a traction and drives overall pea protein market growth.
