Plant Protein Market in Germany | Recent Industry Developments, Growth Factors and Market Size | Demand Gap Analysis by Product Category | Detailed Ingredient Analysis and Key Plant Protein Brands

The food and beverage industry is undergoing a substantial change in Germany. Consumer interest in alternative proteins, non-animal-based food products is increasing, whereas the food industry is constantly innovating new ingredients and products to satisfy consumer demand.

Germany has emerged as the leading force in the European vegan-revolution. The country has one of the highest rates of vegetarians as compared to any other European country. According to ConsumerIntel360’s Q4 2020 Global Plant Protein Survey, 14% of the German population is vegetarian. Moreover, about 76% of the people in Germany are looking to reduce their meat consumption. This reiterates the fact that a rising number of flexitarians and an increasing number of vegetarians are supporting the growth of the plant protein industry in Germany. In addition to this, similar nutrition, taste, and texture of plant-based products are other factors that are supporting the market growth.

Because of the changing food habits of consumers in Germany, businesses are innovating and launching new vegan products as a substitute for animal-based products. This is reflected in the fact that the number of vegan product launches in the country has more than doubled in the last few years. This represents the rise of a flexitarian diet among the consumers in Germany, thus opening new opportunities for plant-based food innovation.

Among the other factors that are promoting the growth of the plant protein market - is the rising health and environmental concern in Germany. The anti-livestock narrative among the German population has triggered a movement towards meat-free products. In addition to the changing consumer preferences, easier availability of plant-based products in retail stores across Germany is also supporting the growth of the market. To meet the changing consumer demand, large food processing companies and startups are launching their plant-based products in retail stores and supermarkets across Germany.

In the last decade, the plant-based industry has seen an increasing number of big and small businesses offering their own private label plant protein solutions in Germany. With several supermarket chains and retailers joining the band-wagon of plant-based products, the startup ecosystem in Germany is also supporting the growth of the plant protein industry. Through their innovation in ingredients and product development, these companies are able to create more interest from consumers towards plant-based products.

Moreover, people in Germany are looking to buy products that are more sustainable and eco-friendlier. One of the biggest meat giants in the country, Rügenwalder Mühle, has launched its plant-based product line. The company plans to significantly increase its market share over the next 8-12 quarters.
The plant protein market in Germany has recorded a strong growth with a CAGR of 23.1% during 2018-2020. According to ConsumerIntel360’s Q4 2020 Global Plant Protein Survey, Germany is witnessing a growing demand for plant-based protein diets, driven by the flexitarian consumer and the growing vegetarian, vegan community.

This shift from animal-based protein to plant-based protein is driven by the adoption of healthier food choices, availability of alternatives to animal-protein based diets, sustainability, and environmental concerns. Moreover, COVID-19 has reinforced the demand for plant-based products especially, plant-based meats, thereby inducing competition in the market.

Plant protein industry is expected to continue to grow in Germany over the forecast period. It is expected to record a CAGR of 15.9% during 2021-2027. The plant protein consumption in the country will increase from US$ 1073.2 million in 2020 to reach US$ 3130.9 million by 2027.
