Market Overview

Soy protein ingredients are made by processing soymeal in order to get higher protein quantities that can be used as a protein source in a variety of agricultural and food applications. The global soy protein ingredients market is a rapidly growing industry driven by increasing demand for plant-based proteins in food and beverage products. Soy protein ingredients are derived from soybeans and are commonly used as a source of protein in various applications such as meat alternatives, dairy alternatives, baked goods, and nutritional supplements. The market is expected to continue to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period due to several factors, including the increasing health consciousness among consumers, the rise in vegan and vegetarian diets, and the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly products.

 

Soy protein isolate is the most commonly used soy protein ingredient due to its high protein content and functional properties. However, soy protein concentrate and textured soy protein are also used in various applications.

 

The market is highly competitive, with key players including ADM, International Flavours & Fragrances Inc., Cargill, DuPont, Wilmar International, and Kerry Group. These companies are constantly investing in research and development to innovate new products and enhance their production capabilities to meet the growing demand for soy protein ingredients.

 

For instance, in November 2022, Supro Tex, a soy-based plant protein ingredient, was introduced by International Flavours & Fragrances Inc. The ingredient contains 80% protein, giving it a protein profile similar to that of animal meat. It is the most recent addition to IFF's Reimagine-Protein Programme, which began in 2017. The debut will assist IFF in expanding its product portfolio in this group of soy protein ingredients.

Driving Factors

The food and beverage industry is one of the largest consumers of soy protein ingredients. Soy protein ingredients are used in a wide range of food and beverage products such as meat alternatives, dairy alternatives, baked goods, and nutritional supplements. The increasing demand for these products is driving the growth of the soy protein ingredients market. There is a significant increase in the number of consumers adopting vegan and vegetarian diets. Soy protein ingredients provide an excellent source of protein for these diets, as they are plant-based and offer a complete amino acid profile.

 

The development of new and improved production processes for soy protein ingredients has made it easier and more cost-effective to produce high-quality soy protein ingredients. This has increased the availability of soy protein ingredients in the market and has contributed to its growth. There is growing concern about the environmental impact of animal-based protein production. Soy protein ingredients offer a sustainable alternative that is environmentally friendly, as they require less water and land to produce than animal-based proteins.

 

 Restraining Factors

The production of crops that have undergone genetic modification is prohibited in developed regions such as Europe, where some European Union member states have passed laws against it. Scientists have linked genetically modified (GM) soybeans to risks to human health and the environment. As an outcome, particular agricultural producers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan are requesting non-GMO soybeans. The global soy protein ingredients market is subject to various regulations related to food safety, labeling, and import/export restrictions. These regulations can be complex and can impact the availability and pricing of soy protein ingredients in different regions, which could restrain market growth.

 

Soy protein ingredients offer many benefits, there are other plant-based protein sources that can be used as an alternative. For example, pea protein, rice protein, and hemp protein are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. This could limit the demand for soy protein ingredients in the future.

 

Market Segmentation

 

The Global Soy Protein Ingredients Market share is classified into type, application, and form.

• The soy protein isolates segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global soy protein ingredients market during the forecast period.

Based on the type, the global soy protein ingredients market is segmented into soy protein isolates, soy protein concentrates, textured soy protein, and soy flours. Among these, the soy protein isolates segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global soy protein ingredients market during the forecast period. The reason for this growth is that soy protein isolates are utilized not merely to enhance the appearance of meat-based goods, but also to increase protein content, improve retention of moisture, and emulsify. The expansion can be attributed to their high protein content, versatility in a variety of applications, and rising demand for high-protein products. Soy protein isolates are a highly purified form of soy protein that contains at least 90% protein. They offer a high protein content, low fat and carbohydrate content, and a neutral flavor profile.
