The functional proteins market was valued at USD 4.17 billion in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% to reach a value of 5.73 billion by 2022. The increasing pet population and pet adoption trends to improve the palatability of pet food are some of the key trends influencing the growth of the functional proteins market.

Based on type, the market has been segmented into hydrolysates, whey protein concentrates, whey protein isolates, casein & caseinates, soy protein, and others. The whey protein concentrates segment dominated the market in 2017. Whey protein is one of the major ingredients used for manufacturing several milk-based products and is used by many food & beverage manufacturers as a protein source for product innovation. They are commonly used as a source of protein in functional food & beverages, owing to their easy availability or ease of production and less cost, as compared to hydrolysates and isolates.

Increasing usage of functional protein by various end-user industries drives the demand close to USD 5.70 Billion

Functional proteins are used in various applications such as dietary supplements and food & beverages due to the rising demand for food products with improved functionalities. The ability of functional protein manufacturers to develop distinct isolates, concentrates, and other forms of protein ingredients for different food products, such as dairy products, beverages, dietary supplements, infant formula, bakery products, and confectionery products, is expected to drive the growth of the functional proteins market during the forecast period.

Regulations for animal-sourced proteins are major restraints for the market

The US-FDA (US Food & Drug Administration) has strict regulations regarding proteins sourced from mammalian tissues. For instance, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) of New Zealand prohibits the feeding of ruminant protein in any form, composition, or admixture to ruminants due to the risk of spreading Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease. As a result, the restriction has had an adverse effect on the supply of protein ingredients sourced from animals worldwide as it restricts the trade and availability of certain animal-based proteins meant for human consumption.

Whey protein is one of the major ingredients for manufacturing several milk-based products and is used by many food & beverage manufacturers as a protein source for product innovation. The major whey proteins are á-lactalbumin and â-lactoglobulin, which find significant demand from the processed food & beverage industry. The production of whey protein concentrates (WPCs) involves the processing of fluid whey through ultrafiltration to produce a variety of WPCs. WPCs are commonly used as a source of protein in functional food & beverages owing to their easy availability or ease of production and low cost as compared to hydrolysates and isolates.
