The global hydrolyzed vegetable protein market size is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for protein-based diet.

Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) is utilized for a long time to give meat-like texture to food items. The hydrolysis of protein prompts high level of glutamic acid. Acid or chemical hydrolysed vegetable protein are two types of (HVP). The former type uses hydrochloric acid at high temperature during the manufacturing process. This process leads to the formation of a potential cancer-causing compound, which reduces the amount of HVP in process flavouring. However, manufacturers with innovative manufacturing process can remove cancer causing substance effectively.
The two types of HVP have distinguished properties. The acidic HVP has a hazier shading and enhanced meaty flavor. On the other hand, the chemical HVP is lighter tone with a less meaty flavour. The issue of carcinogenic substance formation during the hydrolysis method, has encouraged Europe-based manufacturers are using yeast extract.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising consumer awareness regarding plant based nutritious protein is anticipated to drive the market growth.
- Increased adoption of hydrolyzed proteins by food manufacturers to enhance taste of food items such as soup and pasta is estimated to upheld the growth in the projected timeline.
- The presence of monosodium glutamate in hydrolyzed vegetable protein can induce chest pain and burning sensation on face. Such side effects can restrict the development of the market.
- Stringent government regulations on food quality can hamper the market growth.
- Growing demand for processed food products among consumers can create lucrative opportunity during the forecast period.
