COVID-19 impact on Wheat Protein market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the wheat protein market. Given the growing consumer awareness of the impact of the pandemic on meat production, consumers began adopting plant-based alternatives instead. This resulted in a sales surge of over 500% for meat alternative brands. The pandemic has also influenced the sales of plant-based snacks, dairy alternatives, and supplements, as consumers move towards a healthier lifestyle.

Driver: Nutritional benefits for lactose intolerant and health- & fitness-conscious consumers

The Lactose intolerance is defined as a condition whereby, the body cannot easily digest lactose, which is a type of natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Although some people having a lactose intolerance issue are able to digest whey protein isolates, without any severe repercussions, others find it easier to digest only plant-based proteins. Although whey protein isolates are further processed and filtered to help eliminate more lactose in comparison to whey protein concentrates, any individual with even a mild intolerance towards lactose should avoid the consumption of these products. In such cases, plant-based alternatives stand as the most suitable option, for those looking to increase protein intake, for health or training purposes. A number of plant-based alternatives, which could be used in place of whey proteins include pea protein isolates, brown rice protein, or wheat protein.

While related industries like those of whey protein and the market for gluten-free products are expected to invest substantially in research & development activities to develop better, convenient, and more consumer-suitable products, technological advancements in case of wheat proteins remain stunted. For example, FrieslandCampina DMV recently launched a new product called the Nutri Whey Hydro during Fi Europe 2017. This product was created by working on a specific and unique protein hydrolyzation process that was gentle in nature and helped optimize the taste and nutrition of the product simultaneously. Although the hydrolyzed protein market is expected to be gaining traction during the forecast period, one of the major challenges that the market faces, is its bitter and unpleasant taste. By advancing in new technological methods to optimize tastes and nutritional capabilities, the company has now successfully mitigated that challenge.

By product, wheat gluten segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

The wheat protein market has been segmented into wheat gluten, wheat protein isolate, textured wheat protein, and hydrolyzed wheat protein. Wheat gluten dominated the global market, in terms of both, value and volume. The wide range of functionalities of wheat gluten such as viscoelasticity, texturing, foaming, emulsification, and binding leads to its wide-scale usage in bakery products. Its role as an excellent meat alternative for consumers preferring vegetarian food products is expected to drive its demand during the forecast period.

Pheromones are target-specific, and hence, target one species during its period of application. In an apple farm, when codling moths are targeted through monitoring and trapping; other secondary pests such as stink bugs can remain unnoticed, which can lead to higher pest outbreaks and increased pesticide application. This subsequently increases the production costs of the growers. To solve the problem of secondary pest management, it is necessary to develop a product that would target more than one species at the same time. The development of multi-target pest pheromone dispensers is a challenge for many integrated pest management companies.

By mode of application, the dispensers segment dominated the market in 2020, due to the ease of handling and low cost

Dispensers are utilized for the application of insect pheromones in specified amounts to different types of crops. The dispensers should be placed at a particular height to be an effective source. Dispensers are most commonly utilized to monitor insect populations in arable crops, stored products, and forest ecosystems. An ideal dispenser should be renewable and should be made of cheap organic materials alongside being economically inexpensive and toxicologically inert. Pheromone-based devices are able to ensure the successful control of pests, such as codling moths, tomato pinworm, pink bollworm, and oriental fruit moth. Pheromone dispensers are of different types, such as passive pheromone dispensers, retrievable polymeric pheromone dispensers, hollow fibers, and high emission dispensers.
