Key Market Trends

Increased Utilization of Whey Protein in Drinks

Whey protein isolate (WPI) which is used in many fortified drinks is one of the best forms of protein containing the essential amino acids required by the body. Beyond muscle health, however, many are consuming higher levels of protein also because of its anti-aging properties and how it helps improve their physical appearances. The glutathione found in whey protein helps delay signs of aging, and amino acids provide skin with elasticity and firmness. Whey protein also helps promote a healthy scalp and strengthens hair follicles. Whey protein concentrate in beverages also provides added advantages such as fat loss, stress reduction and decreased cravings and thus increasing the market growth of ready to drink protein beverages.

While awareness of the need and benefits of protein is increasing, so is the demand for convenience. An increasingly larger number of consumers are eating on-the-go and looking to supplement their diets with protein beverages. While the traditional protein smoothie or shake is a popular option, many are choosing refreshing and thirst-quenching clear protein drinks. Naturally-derived sweeteners such as stevia are increasingly being found in protein beverage applications.
