Report Description
Africa Wheat Protein Market Outlook 2031
The Africa Wheat Protein Market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising production and consumption of wheat in the region. Wheat proteins are plant-based proteins that are derived primarily by digesting wheat with various enzymes.
These proteins are a form of insoluble functional protein with specific visco-elastic properties that give the product elasticity and extensibility. They are widely utilized in a variety of end-use applications such as baking & confectionery, animal feed, nutrition supplements, cosmetics & personal care, and others as a viable alternative to animal-based protein.
Consumers choose food items that offer numerous advantages, and wheat protein is used as a functional component in almost all food applications, fueling the worldwide wheat protein market's development. Wheat protein is an important source of protein since it contains 75-90 per cent protein and provides health advantages such as stronger muscles, better digestion, and more.
The pandemic of COVID-19 has had a significant influence on the wheat protein market. As customers became more aware of the pandemic's influence on meat supply, they began to choose plant-based alternatives instead. Meat substitute brands saw a 500% increase in sales as a result of this. As people shift toward a healthy lifestyle, the epidemic has affected sales of plant-based snacks, dairy substitutes, and vitamins.
Manufacturers are producing baked goods with additional proteins in response to the rising demand for bakery items with different proteins. South African manufacturers are continuously adopting innovation in order to obtain cost-leadership and secure fixed suppliers throughout the early stages of growth.
