Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Market Trends

• Increasing demand for processed & convenience foods and meat analogs is driving the market growth

Growing demand for processed and convenient foods as well as meat substitutes is anticipated to boost market growth over the forecast period as vegetarian and vegan diets gain popularity and consumers become more aware of the health benefits of plant-based proteins. Along with its powerful cleansing properties, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) also contains mineral salts and riboflavin, which is helping the market grow.

HVP has become well-known in the food industry due to its frequent use as a less expensive alternative to other protein sources. It is often used as a flavour enhancer and food additive in processed foods such soups, sauces, and snack foods. It is widely used as a replacement for meat-based ingredients in vegetarian and vegan foods due to its ability to provide umami flavour. The hydrolysis process used to generate HVP may produce bitter aromas and aftertaste because it releases free amino acids and peptides, which have a bitter flavour. To minimise the bitterness, certain producers may go through additional processing steps to get rid of or mask the bitter flavour.

HVP is used as a source of protein in several dietary supplements and protein powders. The rising use of protein hydrolysate products by athletes is likely to support market expansion over the forecast period. Protein hydrolysates, notably HVP, are being used more commonly in sports nutrition products because of their ability to provide a high-quality protein source that is easily digestible and absorbed by the body. HVP is a popular plant-based protein supplement for athletes and sports enthusiasts who follow vegetarian or vegan diets since it can help with muscle growth and recovery.

The use of hydrolysate vegetable protein in infant formula is projected to positively impact market growth since it enhances amino acid absorption and provides the maximum nutritional value of protein. When amino acids are hydrolyzed, they shrink in size, making them simpler for infants to digest and absorb. Because of this, developed countries including the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the U.K. have seen a significant increase in demand for hydrolysate protein for baby nutrition. As more parents pick infant formula to meet their newborns' nutritional needs, the market is expected to grow over the course of the projected period. The market is expanding as a result of rising HVP consumption, changing lifestyles, and increased demand for convenience foods. As a result, it is projected that growing consumer desire for food products with clean labels and natural ingredients that are high in protein will further fuel market growth.

Thus, driving the Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein market revenue.
