SOURCE: We Market Research

Protein derived from plants, such as grains (quinoa, wheat), legumes (beans, lentils), nuts, seeds, and soy products (tofu, tempeh), is referred to as plant-based protein. Plant-based proteins are appropriate for vegetarian, vegan, and health-conscious diets because they don't come from animal sources and usually have less saturated fat. They offer vital amino acids required for general health and muscle regeneration. In addition to being high in fibre, vitamins, and minerals, plant-based proteins also support a balanced diet. By including these sources, one can support environmental sustainability and animal welfare concerns while diversifying one's nutrient intake.

Growing consumer awareness of sustainability and ethical food choices, which has led to a rise in the popularity of vegetarian, vegan, and flexitarian diets, is driving the demand for plant-based proteins. Plant-based proteins are in greater demand due to health considerations like lowering cholesterol and saturated fat intake. Thanks to technological breakthroughs, a wider range of people looking for alternatives to traditional animal proteins can now enjoy meat-like substitutes made from plants. These elements work together to propel market expansion, increasing the range and accessibility of plant-based protein products around the globe.
