US Soy Protein Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the US Soy Protein Market according to our research experts:
Food and Beverages is the largest segment by End User.
- The food and beverages sector registered the highest demand, with the overall sales value increasing by 49.7% in 2022 since 2016. Due to their functional and nutritional properties, they are utilized in a variety of food applications such as baking, confectionary, emulsion-type sausages, dairy replacers, functional beverages, nutritious bars, and breakfast cereals. These properties include fat and water absorption, emulsification, and whipping. Soy proteins are among the most preferred meat and dairy protein substitutes, which has helped food manufacturers control prices and enhance product profitability.
- As the most economical plant protein alternative for Americans consuming vegetarian diets, the demand for soy proteins spiked across the food and beverages sector. In the food and beverages sector, the demand for soy proteins is led by the meat/meat alternative industry, owing to its functionalities that mimic the muscle texture when layered into linear fibers. Consumers are increasingly opting for plant-based proteins like soy due to rising awareness of animal cruelty and the detrimental impacts that animal-based proteins have on the environment. Such factors are enhancing its usage for texturizing and protein fortification in alternative meat products, which grew by 50.6% in 2022 since 2016.
- The growth of supplements is aided by the sports and performance nutrition sub-segment, which was the fastest-growing sub-segment, recording a CAGR of 7.18% during the forecast period. Soy proteins are extensively preferred by female athletes, owing to their benefits in conditions such as Female Athlete Triad Syndrome (FATS). For female athletes, soy protein powder is frequently used as an ergogenic aid to enhance performance and speed up muscle recovery, which can help with osteoporosis.
