In 2018, the chocolate segment is estimated to account for the largest share, by type, in the food inclusions market, in terms of value. Chocolate is among the most preferred and popular flavors among consumers, worldwide, and is a major factor that is expected to drive significant consumption of chocolate inclusions in the food & beverage industry. The use of chocolate inclusions adds gloss and enhances the taste of products, while also enhancing other organoleptic properties. Thus, the use of chocolate inclusions in varieties of food applications such as confectionery, ice cream, bakery, dairy, beverages, frozen desserts, and cereal products is expected to drive the market.

Cereal products, snacks, and bars are estimated to form the major application in which food inclusions are most widely used. The consumption of various types of food inclusions in this application is largely attributed to the multiple benefits these inclusions add to the products in this category, such as addition of required flavors (fruit, chocolate, caramel, and nut), enhancement in product appearance in terms of color and visibility, and provision of required textures to products. Further, the use of inclusions enhanced the product value, both in terms of nutritional aspects as well as consumer requirements that drive the use of food inclusions in this segment.

The European market is estimated to account for the largest share in 2018. This can primarily be attributed to factors such as the region’s large-scale production and domestic consumption of food inclusions, which is fueled by food & beverage manufacturers’ urge for product innovation with the use of novel ingredients to cater to consumer indulgence. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, owing to the rise in consumption of inclusions and their innovative usage in line with the flavor profile and other consumer requirements, along with the Westernization of diets. The resultant increase in the final price of end products acts as a restraint for the growth of this market.

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. Further, a rise in demand for healthy food products having a high nutritional value such as soy, wheat, and vegetable protein is driving the market in this region.

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.


This report includes a study of development strategies, along with the product portfolios of the leading companies in the oryzenin market. The key companies profiled are Axiom Foods, Inc. (U.S.), AIDP Inc. (U.S.), RiceBran Technologies (U.S.), Kerry Group plc (Ireland), and BENEO GmbH (Germany). The other players of the oryzenin market are Ribus, Inc.
