The South America plant protein market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.21% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing usage of pea protein in the food industry.
Moreover, innovation in the technologies that are used for extraction of plant-based protein is driving the market growth. Proteins are essential nutrients that human body requires, which consist of amino acids. These proteins are known as plant proteins that are extracted from plant-based foods such as wheat and soy.
Many crops provide elevated protein content, including chickpeas, tofu, peanuts, lentils, almonds, quinoa, spirulina, and chia seed. Plant-based proteins have less calorie count. Thus, animal-based protein can be replaced with plant-based protein. Plant protein consists of different types of globular proteins where globulins forms the major fraction, containing legumin, vicilin, and convicilin, while the minor fractions include albumins and glutelins.
Soy products are among the richest sources of protein in a plant-based diet. Lentils are also a great source of protein that are added in the diet. They can be added to stews, curries, salads, or rice to give an extra portion of protein. Growing demand for dietary supplement products particularly among the young population and middle-aged people is positively influencing the market growth.
