Rising number of vegan and flexitarian population with emerging indulgence towards natural products is making the segmental growth

  • By application, the food and beverage industry led the application sector for proteins in the region, accounting for a major volume share. The share was highly influenced by the dairy- and meat-alternative industries that accounted for 23% of the overall proteins consumed in the region. The share is primarily driven by the rising number of vegan and flexitarian consumers who increasingly rely on or are open to animal-free product offerings in the market. As of 2020, the number of vegans in Europe has doubled from 1.3 million to 2.6 million, representing 3.2% of the population. However, despite the largest share, the food and beverage market is yet to outpace its growth rate, and it is anticipated to register a volume CAGR of 4.17% during the forecast period.
  • It is followed by the animal feed segment, which is largely driven by the application of plant proteins, which is also anticipated to register the fastest growth rate of 4.28% during the forecast period. This is largely due to growing government initiatives in the plant protein segment. For instance, in 2022, EU member states joined forces to call for a continent-wide plant protein strategy, which they say is needed “more than ever” in light of the war in Ukraine. This European strategy would bolster the already existing commitment of the EU executive, which, in a 2018 report, called for the development of plant proteins in the European Union.
  • By value, among all the end-user segments, the personal care and cosmetics segment is anticipated to register the fastest growth rate of 5.04% during the forecast period. The emerging indulgence toward natural products with rising interest in the list of ingredients is highly driving growth. About 37% in Germany and 27% in France used a natural/organic cosmetic in 2021.
Europe Protein Market

growing demand for healthy food is driving the regional demand with demand dominated by Russia, France and rest of Europe segments

  • With the region's rising health consciousness, the Rest of Europe segment, which includes countries like Ukraine, Poland, Greece, Austria, Belgium, and Norway, dominates in terms of protein consumption. In 2021, healthy food consumed in eight of the European Union's member countries accounted for about 70% of the total. About one-third of the population in Belgium consumed vegetarian burgers in 2022. For the uninitiated, over 25.8% of residents in Austria were flexitarian in 2022, driving the consumption of protein foods.
  • Russia remained the largest protein consumer in the region, after the Rest of Europe segment. Heavy product developments, government initiatives, investments, and high demand from the food and beverage sector drove the demand. Among all protein types, the country's protein consumption is largely driven by plant protein types, with a market share of 61.3%, by value, in 2022. The market is witnessing high demand for animal-free protein alternatives, with a growing number of vegetarians in the country. Soy protein dominates consumption in the country, with a value share of 36%, by value, in 2022.
  • Among all the countries, France is anticipated to record the fastest growth rate during the forecast period, registering a CAGR of 5.02% by volume. The country's protein consumption is largely driven by the meat and meat alternatives segment, with the consumers growing preference for plant-based meat products. The country has a growing vegan and vegetarian population, largely driving the segmental growth. For instance, vegetarians and vegans represent 2% of the French population (about 1.3 million people) and 0.5% (about 340,000 people), respectively, while flexitarians represented nearly 23 million people in 2021.

Europe Protein Market Trends

Animal protein consumption growth fuels opportunities for key players in the ingredients sector

  • In U.K., during 2016-2019, the average daily protein intake of individuals aged 19-64 years was 76 g per person, which was more than the 64 g/day average adult daily requirement. This number was calculated by using a reference intake value of 0.83 g/kg of body weight per day. The average daily consumption of animal protein per person is projected to be 39.6 g, with 25.9 g coming from meat and meat products and 9.9 g from milk and milk products. Accordingly, the total domestic milk production has risen. Less than 7% of the domestic production is exported, thereby providing easy access to manufacturers.
  • The market for whey protein is mainly driven by the growing popularity of fitness centers and health clubs, which has led to a rise in whey consumption. The annual whey protein import increased exponentially by 15.09% in 2021 from 2019. However, with a great focus on overall health and consumers’ interest in clean-label products, the demand for natural ingredients has been growing in the sports nutrition sector. Ingredients, such as organic and grass-fed whey, have gained prominence due to both health as well ethical concerns.
  • Women are looking for sports nutrition supplements to seek a lean body, strength, and performance. Encouragement from nutritionists and other fitness experts is also boosting the market sentiment for sports nutrition in the region. Growing veganism, demand for plant-based products, and changing dietary preferences among consumers are being witnessed globally. The low inclination toward meat-based products is visible among consumers, which is a major restraining factor for the animal protein market. The number of vegans in Europe doubled from 1.3 million to 2.6 million, representing 3.2% of the population in 2021.
Europe Protein Market

Meat and milk production contributes majorly as raw material for plant protein ingredients manufacturers

  • The graph given depicts the production data for raw materials such as meat of cattle, pigs, and chicken (with bone, fresh or chilled), raw milk from cattle and goats, skim milk from cows, and dry whey powder. Germany is the leading producer of milk in the European Union, accounting for more than 21% of milk deliveries in the European Union in 2020. Although the country has been observing a decline in the count of cattle farms, the average size of the farms is witnessing an upsurge. The rise in milk production is attributed to the escalated volume of milk production per cow. Over the years, milk production has been concentrated in the grassland regions of northwestern and southern Germany.
  • Milk production is constantly rising in the U.K., despite the continuous decline in the number of dairy cows. As of December 2022, the total number of dairy cows in the UK greater than 12 months old stood at 2.66 million head. In the same year the production of milk per cow was amounted 8,169 liters per annum an increase of 3.5% compared to 7,893 liters in 2017.
  • In 2020, there were over 76 million cattle in the European Union (EU) and beef production reached 6.8 million tonnes – output that makes the EU the world's third largest producer, after the United States and Brazil. The sector is diverse in terms of herd size, farm structure and geographical distribution of farms between EU regions. Three Member States alone produce half of the EU's beef: France (21.2%), Germany (17.8%) and Italy (11.1%)

Europe Protein Industry Segmentation

Animal, Microbial, Plant are covered as segments by Source. Animal Feed, Food and Beverages, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Supplements are covered as segments by End User. Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom are covered as segments by Country.

  • By application, the food and beverage industry led the application sector for proteins in the region, accounting for a major volume share. The share was highly influenced by the dairy- and meat-alternative industries that accounted for 23% of the overall proteins consumed in the region. The share is primarily driven by the rising number of vegan and flexitarian consumers who increasingly rely on or are open to animal-free product offerings in the market. As of 2020, the number of vegans in Europe has doubled from 1.3 million to 2.6 million, representing 3.2% of the population. However, despite the largest share, the food and beverage market is yet to outpace its growth rate, and it is anticipated to register a volume CAGR of 4.17% during the forecast period.
  • It is followed by the animal feed segment, which is largely driven by the application of plant proteins, which is also anticipated to register the fastest growth rate of 4.28% during the forecast period. This is largely due to growing government initiatives in the plant protein segment. For instance, in 2022, EU member states joined forces to call for a continent-wide plant protein strategy, which they say is needed “more than ever” in light of the war in Ukraine. This European strategy would bolster the already existing commitment of the EU executive, which, in a 2018 report, called for the development of plant proteins in the European Union.
  • By value, among all the end-user segments, the personal care and cosmetics segment is anticipated to register the fastest growth rate of 5.04% during the forecast period. The emerging indulgence toward natural products with rising interest in the list of ingredients is highly driving growth. About 37% in Germany and 27% in France used a natural/organic cosmetic in 2021.
