Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient Market

Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Global Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient Market size was estimated at USD 684.31 million in 2024 and is expected to reach an over of USD 1014.82 million by the end of the assessment period 2029.

The Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient Market is expected to experience moderate growth to record a CAGR of 8.20% throughout the forecast period 2024 to 2029.

The ingredients of the protein hydrolysate are peptides derived from proteins. They are rich in protein and are easily absorbed compared to other proteins. The different types of protein hydrolysate ingredients are milk protein hydrolysate and meat protein hydrolysate. These protein hydrolysate ingredients have relatively weak antigenic properties. They also help improve the digestion process and also help reduce protein allergy in babies.

The protein hydrolysate ingredients market is expected to register high growth rates in the coming years due to the demand for growing protein hydrolysate ingredients among consumers because of the associated health and nutritional benefits. The high purity, bioavailability, and digestibility of hydrolysate, when compared with other forms of protein, namely isolates and concentrates, are among their properties that are boosting their demand in the protein ingredient market. However, the presence of other alternatives of protein ingredient forms such as isolates, concentrates is likely to hinder the growth of the market.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

The increasing reach of Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient, especially in the food industry, as well as the growing consumer interest in specialized nutrition, should fuel the growth of the global Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient market in the coming years.

In addition, the ever-increasing vegan population worldwide has increased the demand for vegan food products, as well as protein-rich ingredients, which are likely to remain the critical cause of ingredients in vegetable hydrolysate ingredients. The elements in protein hydrolysate are increasing the demand in clinical nutrition to reduce the viscosity of sips for the elderly. This factor has had a considerable impact on the growth of the Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient market, underpinned by increasing demographic aging and its concerns regarding a balanced diet. With the increasing incidence of lactose intolerance in infants and other gastrointestinal problems caused by consuming infant formula from cow's milk, concerned parents have turned to better alternatives in recent years.

The Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient formula is not only an acceptable alternative but also helps prevent or treat cow's milk side effects, including lactose intolerance and other associated conditions. This is one of the key factors accelerating the expansion of the global market for Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient.

Nutrition product manufacturers are focusing on the formulation and introduction of hydrolysate-based baby food products in their portfolio of baby products with or at high risk of cow's milk allergy (CMA). These enhancements are intended to provide babies with essential nutrition to control AMC and reduce the risk associated with such disorders. Therefore, a significant increase in the use of these ingredients in infant formula is likely to spur revenue growth in the Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient market.

The increasing awareness of a wide range of demographic groups on health and nutrition issues, especially in developed countries, which represent a rising number of wealthy consumers, has dramatically influenced the demand for healthy products such as hydrolysate ingredients. In addition, new trends in the consumption of functional foods for weight loss and weight management are expected to complement the future expansion of the global market for Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient. Use of easily absorbable protein-rich food products has been shown to cause an immediate increase in the number of plasma acids during body training. The ingredients of the Protein Hydrolysate have superior bioavailability and absorption properties than other whole proteins, which is very useful for muscle development and post-exercise recovery. These factors have led to an increased demand for sports nutrition applications, which should occupy the supreme position in the global market for Protein Hydrolysate Ingredient, which accounts for around 30% of the value share. However, the presence of other alternative forms of protein ingredients, such as isolates, concentrates, is likely to hamper the market growth.
