It is projected to increase from $3.48 billion in 2024 to $3.7 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.

Top Growth Drivers in the Wheat Protein Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The surge in the number of vegans is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the wheat protein market in the foreseeable future. People who abide by a vegan lifestyle, avoiding all products derived from animals such as meat, dairy products, eggs, and sometimes even honey, constitute the vegan population. The ethical treatment of animals, environmental sustainability, and health benefits are significant factors contributing to the escalating vegan population. Wheat protein, with its high protein value, comprehensive amino acid characteristics, and functional aspects suitable for different food uses like alternatives to meat and baking items, is a preferred choice among vegans. In an example from January 2024, Finder.com LLC, a USA-based personal finance comparison site, undertook a survey on the vegan population in the UK revealing an increase from 1.1 million from 2023 to 2.5 million in early 2024. Thus, the escalating number of vegans is a significant driver behind the wheat protein market's growth.

Leading enterprises in the wheat protein market are developing and launching advanced products like plant-based alternatives in response to a surge in consumer demand for healthier, sustainable food choices. Nestlé, a Swiss food company, for example, introduced plant-based alternatives in October 2023.
