Protein Hydrolysate Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Protein Hydrolysate Market Analysis

The Protein Hydrolysate Market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.29 % during the forecast period.

The demand for protein hydrolysates has been growing in recent years due to the increasing popularity of sports nutrition products, as well as the rising awareness among consumers about the health benefits of protein. Protein hydrolysates are commonly used as ingredients in sports drinks, protein bars, and supplements, as they are highly bioavailable and can help to support muscle growth and recovery.

Additionally, it is also driven by the increasing demand for infant nutrition owing to its overall nutrition enhancement, reduce risk of allergies, and improved protein digestibility. Hydrolyzed milk protein digest faster than milk protein isolates. Owing to its easy digestibility, hydrolyzed milk protein is the most used ingredient by infant food manufacturers. Thereby, the growing demand for hydrolyzed milk protein in the nutraceutical industries is further driving the growth of the market. The milk proteins are hydrolyzed using enzymes to decrease the allergenicity, increase adsorption and improve the functional properties of proteins for their end-use application. In line with this, hydrolyzed milk protein has been used in nutritional beverages owing to its increased rate of absorption. Similarly, it is used in the production of cheese and yogurts as it helps to improve the gel strength of the product. Hence, the growing consumption of hydrolyzed milk protein in the dairy product industry is accelerating the growth of the market.

Furthermore, the high purity, bioavailability, and digestibility of protein hydrolysate, as compared to other forms of protein, i.e., isolates and concentrates, are among the significant properties that boost their demand. Consumers who exercise seriously have a positive perception of protein hydrolysates and a sound awareness of their benefits. This is popularizing the protein hydrolysate ingredients.
