Plasma Powder Market Report 2026

The plasma powder market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.17 billion in 2025 to $3.34 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in industrial livestock farming, increasing use of animal protein in feed formulations, rising pet ownership globally, proven benefits of plasma proteins in animal health, expansion of commercial feed manufacturing.

The plasma powder market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand for high-performance animal nutrition, growth of premium and functional pet food, increasing focus on feed efficiency and gut health, expansion of aquaculture feed markets, innovation in animal-derived protein processing. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use of plasma powder in premium pet nutrition, increasing adoption in young animal and weaning diets, growing preference for functional protein ingredients, expansion of plasma powder applications in aqua feed, demand for improved feed palatability and digestibility.

The rising rate of pet adoption is expected to drive the growth of the plasma powder market in the coming years. Pet adoption refers to the act of providing a permanent home and care to an animal, most often through animal shelters or rescue organizations. Plasma powder is utilized in pet food as a premium protein ingredient derived from blood plasma. When incorporated into pet food formulations, it supplies essential amino acids and nutrients, supporting the overall nutritional value and health of pets. For instance, in March 2025, according to the American Pet Products Association, a US-based non-profit organization, approximately 94 million households in the United States owned at least one pet, up from 82 million households in 2023. Therefore, the growing trend of pet adoption is contributing to the expansion of the plasma powder market.

Key companies operating in the plasma powder market are focusing on the development of new pilot spray dryers to strengthen their competitive position. Pilot spray dryers are smaller-scale versions of industrial spray dryers that are used to produce powdered or granulated products from liquid or slurry feedstocks. For example, in April 2023, RELCO LLC, a US-based food processing equipment company, introduced the Parvus pilot spray dryer for a range of food applications. The system is offered in two configurations: the Parvus Nomad, a single-stage dryer suited for trial batches and smaller production volumes, and the Parvus Multi-Stage, which features a wide-body design to support larger output volumes. This pilot spray dryer provides flexibility for early-stage testing and scalability, allowing integration with other pilot technologies for full-scale production planning. It offers moisture control and powder-handling capabilities comparable to full-scale systems while addressing small-batch and trial requirements. Additionally, the system is designed for straightforward setup and dismantling, with a compact footprint that supports space and transportation efficiency. The pilot spray dryer also targets emerging opportunities in areas such as plant protein, fermentation, and collagen.

In June 2024, Grifols S.A., a Spain-based provider of plasma-derived medicines, finalized the sale of a 20% equity stake in Shanghai RAAS and entered into a strategic alliance with China’s Haier Group to broaden access to plasma-derived products across China. Through this agreement, Grifols seeks to strengthen its footprint in the Chinese plasma-derived products market by leveraging Haier’s healthcare infrastructure to expand plasma collection, processing, and distribution operations. Shanghai RAAS is a China-based biopharmaceutical company focused on plasma-derived therapies, including albumin, immunoglobulins, and other plasma-based products.

Major companies operating in the plasma powder market are Takeda, CSL Behring, Darling Ingredients, Grifols, Octapharma, Valley Proteins Inc., Proliant Biologicals, Veos Group, Uruguayan Animal Proteins, Haripro SpA, Lihme Protein Solutions, Saria SE & Co. KG, Acontex GmbH, APC Inc., British Aqua Feeds, Shenzhen Taier Biotechnology Co. Ltd, Animix LLC, Kraeber & Co GmbH, Rocky Mountain Biologicals, MB Sugars & Pharmaceuticals Limited.

North America was the largest region in the plasma powder market in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the plasma powder market report are Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the plasma powder market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Tariffs have created cost and supply-side challenges for the plasma powder market by increasing duties on animal-derived raw materials, cross-border plasma trade, and spray-drying equipment. These tariffs have raised production costs and impacted pricing across pet food, pig feed, and poultry feed segments, with regions such as asia-pacific, europe, and north america most affected due to their reliance on global sourcing networks. Small and mid-sized feed manufacturers face margin pressure, while multinational players are restructuring supply chains. On the positive side, tariffs are encouraging localized plasma sourcing, regional processing facilities, and investments in domestic animal protein production, supporting long-term market resilience.

Plasma powder is a protein-rich ingredient obtained through the spray-drying of plasma and is widely used to improve nutritional value and support growth in animal diets. In addition to benefiting the health and well-being of pets as a high-quality protein source, it helps maintain the juiciness, elasticity, and softness of chunks and pâté products.

The main sources of plasma powder include bovine, porcine, ovine, and others. Bovine refers to anything related to cattle, including their traits and characteristics, and plasma powder derived from cattle is commonly used in food and pharmaceutical applications due to its nutritional and functional benefits. Plasma powder is produced in various forms such as dry and wet and is distributed through both online and offline sales channels for use in pet food, pig feed, poultry feed, aqua feed, ruminant feed, human food, and other applications.
