Feed Plant Based Protein Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.91% through 2030
Rising Demand for Sustainable Animal Nutrition is expected to drive the Global Feed Plant Based Protein Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.
According to TechSci Research report, “Feed Plant Based Protein Market
- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast,
2030”, Global Feed Plant Based Protein Market stood at USD 22.97 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.91% through 2030. A
significant factor fueling the growth of the Global Feed Plant Based Protein Market due to increasing
demand of plant-based protein source. Additionally, protein provide same
nutritional value as that of animal or synthetic protein, and they have less
impact on health as well as easily digestible and antiallergic which further
fuel the growth of Global Feed Plant Based Protein Market.
The rising demand for sustainable animal nutrition is one of the most influential drivers shaping the global feed plant-based protein market. With growing environmental awareness and pressure to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture, feed manufacturers are seeking alternatives to conventional protein sources such as fishmeal and animal by-products. Plant-based proteins—including soy, peas, lupin, and algae—offer significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced water usage, and less land depletion. These advantages make them attractive not only for their environmental credentials but also for their contribution to the circular economy. Livestock and aquaculture producers are increasingly aligning their practices with sustainability goals to meet regulatory requirements, retailer expectations, and evolving consumer values—further accelerating the shift toward eco-friendly feed formulations.
In addition to environmental concerns, the need for long-term resource efficiency and feed security is pushing the industry toward plant-derived proteins. Unlike fishmeal, which depends on limited wild fish stocks, or animal by-products that raise ethical and traceability issues, plant proteins can be cultivated at scale using existing agricultural infrastructure. Furthermore, advancements in crop genetics and agronomic practices are improving yields and protein content of feed crops, making them more viable and cost-effective. Feed manufacturers are also integrating sustainable sourcing practices, such as using locally grown legumes or repurposing by-products from the food industry. These developments reflect a broader shift in the agricultural value chain toward sustainability, where feed is no longer just a cost input—but a strategic lever for reducing the environmental impact of animal production systems.

Global Feed Plant Based Protein Market is segmented based on type, livestock,
source, regional distribution, and company.
Based on type, isolates are expected to grow at the fastest rate in the Global Feed Plant-Based Protein Market due to their high protein purity, superior digestibility, and functional versatility. Isolates typically contain over 90% protein, making them ideal for precision nutrition in high-performance livestock and aquaculture diets. Their low fiber and anti-nutritional factor content enhances nutrient absorption and improves feed efficiency. Additionally, isolates are increasingly used in specialized applications like weaning feeds, starter diets, and disease recovery formulas. As producers focus on improving animal health, growth rates, and feed conversion ratios, the demand for highly concentrated, clean-label protein ingredients like isolates is expected to surge, especially in intensive farming systems.
Based on region, Asia Pacific is growing exponentially in the Global Feed Plant-Based Protein Market due to several key factors. The region is experiencing rapid growth in livestock and aquaculture production, driven by rising demand for meat, dairy, and seafood in countries like China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. This surge is creating a strong need for sustainable, protein-rich, and cost-effective feed solutions. Additionally, increasing awareness of animal health, coupled with a shift toward environmentally responsible farming practices, is encouraging the adoption of plant-based feed ingredients such as soybean meal, rice bran, and pea protein. Government support for feed innovation, growing domestic production capabilities, and the presence of a large agricultural base further contribute to the region's exceptional growth trajectory, positioning Asia Pacific as a major force in shaping the future of sustainable animal nutrition.

“Europe is expected to dominate the market due
to increasing preference for
natural ingredients in the pet food and feed industry. Additionally, consumers are cutting back on the consumption of
meat for environmental, health, and animal welfare reasons creating lucrative
opportunities for market growth. Furthermore, in North America, expanding the
vegan population base, increasing awareness about the health benefits of
plant-based products, and an increasing number of new product launches create
huge prospects of market growth during the forecast period,” said Mr. Karan
Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based global
management consulting firm.
