United States Protein Ingredients Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.20% through 2029

High-protein dietary trends, the growth of sports nutrition, and the rise of plant-based alternatives are expected to drive the United States Protein Ingredients Market growth in the forecast period, 2025-2029.

According to TechSci Research report, “United States Protein Ingredients Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2029F”, the United States Protein Ingredients Market was valued at USD 18.30 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to project impressive growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 6.20% through 2029. This growth can be attributed to ongoing innovation and product development within the protein ingredients sector. Innovation serves as a key driver for market expansion, with manufacturers consistently creating new protein-based products and enhancing existing offerings to align with consumer preferences. This innovation encompasses various aspects, including flavor profiles, textures, and packaging formats, thereby providing consumers with a diverse array of choices.

Additionally, the rise of e-commerce is poised to transform the distribution landscape for protein ingredients. Online platforms will continue to facilitate easy access for consumers to a broad selection of protein products, including niche and specialty items.

Key factors contributing to market growth include the increasing demand for protein-enriched functional foods, driven by the growing health awareness among the U.S. population and the rising popularity of sports nutrition products. Escalating concerns regarding environmental sustainability are prompting a shift towards plant-based and alternative protein sources. In response to the health and wellness trend in the U.S., food and beverage manufacturers are increasingly focusing on incorporating protein ingredients into dietary supplements and functional food products. The expanding health consciousness and the rising demand for protein formulations among the athletic community in the U.S. are expected to further propel market growth in the forecast period.

However, challenges remain regarding the flavor profiles of emerging protein sources, such as plant-based proteins, insects, and fermented proteins. Certain plant-derived proteins, like pea protein, are often associated with a beany taste, while others, such as soy protein isolates, may possess undesirable off-flavors. As a result, extensive research is being conducted to address these flavor challenges associated with plant-based protein sources.
