Soy protein concentrates segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022

The soy protein concentrates segment accounted for a significant global market share in 2022 and is likely to retain its position throughout the forecast period. The growth of the segment market can be mainly attributed to a negligible amount of cholesterol and saturated fats in soy concentrates, which further provides a nutrient-dense and high-quality protein that can be used alone or in combination with any other protein source. In addition, the growing prevalence and demand for soy protein concentrate in the animal feed and meat industries are also expected to fuel the segment's revenue growth.

The soy protein isolates segment is expected to grow at a considerable growth rate over the coming years on account of the high presence of protein content, very low-fat content, and no cholesterol, along with the growing awareness regarding its capabilities for lowering the risk of heart disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.

Dry segment held the largest market revenue share in 2022

The dry segment held a significant market revenue share in 2022, mainly accelerated by its lower chances of formulation errors, capability to effectively maintain the ingredient stability, ease of handling and transport, and lower operational costs. Moreover, dry soy protein contains all the essential amino acid types, making it a complete and high-quality protein. Along with this, various kinds of dry soy protein food ingredients, including tofu, edamame, and tempeh, might benefit from breast cancer and prostate cancer, which in turn, fuel the growth of the segment market over the coming years.

Functional foods segment is expected to witness highest growth over the anticipated period

The functional foods segment is projected to grow at a considerable CAGR over the anticipated period due to increasing consumer inclinations towards high-protein-rich food products and the widespread adoption of soy protein to minimize fat, improve baking properties, and enhance the overall product quality. In addition, the extensive growth and adoption of veganism have led to a significant increase in the food industry and a rising number of health-conscious consumers worldwide, which are also expected to stimulate market growth in the near future.

The meat alternatives segment is further projected to grow considerably and account for a healthy market share in 2022. Increasing prevalence among consumers to incorporate plant-based diets instead of meat products, as high consumption of red meats can result in type-2 diabetes and even cause esophagus cancer, the key factors influencing segment growth.

The North America region dominated the market in 2022

North America dominated the global market in 2022 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The regional market growth can be largely attributed to increased consumer awareness regarding the availability and benefits of plant-based products and ongoing research activities for introducing more improved soy protein-enriched products. In addition, the growing entry of new market players and start-ups in the regional market and the exponential growth of the nutraceuticals industry, especially in countries like the US, Canada, and Mexico, are pushing the market growth forward.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region in the global market over the coming years. The emerging trend of veganism and the shift in consumer preferences from meat-based products to plant-based products due to their wide range of health and environmental benefits, mainly in countries like India, China, and Indonesia, is one of the key factors propelling the demand and growth for soy protein ingredients in the region.
