OPPORTUNITY: The growing potential of dairy and plant proteins

There is a huge potential for the growing protein ingredients market in the near future, especially dairy and plant proteins. Dairy protein suppliers can continue to benefit from the trend towards more functional products, and the increased consumer interest in the nutritional value of products. Dairy proteins are known to possess a wide range of functional properties, including thickening & emulsification, gelling, foaming, heat stabilization, and flavor/color development. Their high nutritional quality and versatile, functional properties enable their usage in dairy desserts, nutritional beverages, ice cream, yogurt, spreads, confectionery, and baked goods.

CHALLENGE: Demand-based price fluctuations in cropping pattern

Even though the prices of soy proteins are comparatively lower than most of the proteins, the supply can prove to be a significant factor in price escalation. The raw material for soy protein ingredients is soy meal, which is also highly demanded by the feed industry. Unless there is no drop in the cultivation area under soybeans, the supply is expected to remain unfazed for both feed and protein manufacturers.

The Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the global protein ingredients market. The market in the region is driven by an increase in population growth, especially in countries such as China and India.

Oryzenin Market: Growth Opportunities and Recent Developments

The report Oryzenin Market by Type (Isolates, Concentrates), Application (Bakery & Confectionery, Meat Analogs & Extenders, Sports & Energy Nutrition, Dairy Alternatives, Beverages), Form (Dry, Liquid), and Region – Global Forecast to 2022″, is estimated at USD 88.2 Million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 198.2 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. The market is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for rice protein due to its functional properties, growth in consumption of plant protein, cost-effectiveness of plant protein as compared to animal protein, and the increasing awareness among consumers towards the importance of protein.

On the basis of application, the oryzenin market was led by sports & energy nutrition, followed by beverages, in 2015. Sports & energy nutrition was the leading segment, owing to the increase in the consumption of sports & energy drinks due to the trend of healthy living among consumers. The application of oryzenin in sports & energy nutrition is attributed to its high amino acid profile and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are essential for athletes and bodybuilders for muscle recovery. Oryzenin increased lean body mass skeletal muscle hypertrophy, power, and strength similar to whey protein. This segment has potential for growth in the near future, with increasing application of oryzenin as a nutrition enhancer in food products.


On the basis of form, the dry segment accounted for a larger market share in 2015. The dry form dominated the oryzenin market as it is easy to handle and can be transported easily with lower expenses, which has increased the demand for dry oryzenin powder. In addition, the liquid form needs further processing to be extracted from the dry form, thus increasing the investment.

The rapid growth of economies in Europe has led to the increase in demand for protein. This factor has resulted in the growth of low-cost protein sources such as vegetable proteins that can be used as substitutes for other protein ingredients. European consumers are emphasizing more on healthier lifestyles; hence, protein product manufacturers need to focus on reducing consumer fears concerning its allergies and safety issues. Gluten is found to cause allergies and it has been estimated that up to 90% of protein in wheat is gluten. Amongst northern European consumers, 30% carry genes for gluten intolerance. This creates tremendous opportunity for other sources of proteins which are free from gluten such as rice protein.
