The growing nutritional trend towards protein-rich foods has resulted in an eight percent boost in the market between 2013 and 2018.

The inflating disposable incomes are behind this demand. In addition, the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and rising awareness among consumers on health and wellness.

Soy protein ingredients are also rich in iron, fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B, lecithin and polyunsaturated fats. Thus, they are rapidly substituting meat and eggs in the preparation of various food products. In turn, this is strengthening the demand for these ingredients.

Sports and fitness enthusiasts have increasingly participated in boosting the demand on milk protein ingredients.
