Pea protein refers to a type of high-quality protein which is extracted from peas (Pisum sativum). This 100% vegan and hypoallergenic food product comes with several health benefits such as improved heart health and great muscle growth. In addition, it can help control cholesterol, obesity, and blood pressure. Hence, the increasing demand for pea protein products among the health-conscious population is driving the pea protein market growth.

Additionally, pea protein is a rich source of iron which is further propelling its demand among people suffering from iron deficiency. It also contains essential amino acids which a body cannot make on its own. Moreover, the amount of methionine is insignificant in pea protein due to which pea protein can complement methionine-rich foods such as boiled egg, fish curry, beef steak, and brown rice, among others.

Over the forecast period, the market for pea protein is expected to witness a heightened demand among the working population, owing to insufficient protein intake infused by hectic schedules and high stress. Body builders and athletes also prefer pea protein to meet their natural protein requirements which is invigorating the market growth.

The rapid transition from animal-based food products towards plant-based food products, owing to the increasing awareness about animal cruelty and favourable policies of various governments to shrink their environment footprint, is a crucial driving factor of the pea protein market. Pea protein is a versatile and healthy plant-based protein that is well suited for vegan and plant-based diets, and is commonly used in bakery and confectionary and functional foods and beverages.

The thriving e-commerce sector is a crucial trend accelerating the sale of clean labelled pea protein products. The anticipated increase in sale of pea protein products with innovative flavours and attractive packaging is expected to add value to the global pea protein market. Over the forecast period, the market is expected to be impacted positively by the rising purchasing power, increasing awareness about healthy food products, and improved accessibility of pea protein.
