Growing lactose-intolerant population in the country and increasing protein consumption need is driving the use of rice protein
- Rice proteins witnessed maximum demand in the food and beverage segment, majorly led by meat/poultry/seafood and meat alternative products. In 2022, the sub-segment claimed more than 83% of rice proteins consumed in the country. Rice protein satiates multiple consumer demands, such as vegan, gluten-free, and high-protein food products. Rice proteins were used as meat extenders at different concentration levels (3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%) for the development of chicken nuggets. The segment for baking supplies and baking mixes may have extremely high demand as a result of the protein trend, which is only expected to intensify. To meet the growing demand for vegan bakery products, food producers are using rice protein to create protein-rich bakery items.
- The ingredient is gaining popularity for being hypoallergenic and a nutritious alternative for people dealing with lactose intolerance. The number of lactose-intolerant people in the country is around 30 million, leading to high demand for alternative proteins, including rice protein. Especially rice-based formulas have been used as a better alternative than soy milk for children with cow's milk allergy, as the human digestibility of polished rice protein is as high as 86-90%.
- In terms of growth, the personal care and cosmetics segment is set to outpace major categories in terms of growth, with a projected CAGR of 6.18% by value during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the rising demand for synthetic ingredients in beauty products. Consumers are increasingly embracing plant-based substitutes such as rice proteins, thus leading to market expansion.

United States Rice Protein Market Trends
Plant protein consumption growth fuels opportunities for key players in the ingredients sector
- The per capita consumption rate of plant proteins is increasing at a considerable rate in the United States, supported by investments and innovations, resulting in a consumption rate of 40.28 grams per day, primarily due to a rising number of consumers turning vegan to promote animal welfare. This is because factory farming, where animals are maltreated, is a norm in the United States. Most Americans eat less meat and animal products, but they do not eliminate their consumption entirely. They also tend to be more flexitarian than vegan or vegetarian. Nearly 12% of consumers in the country prefer a plant-based diet, whereas 7% of consumers follow a flexitarian diet. Although consumers of all generations in the United States are interested in plant-based meals, individuals in their 20s and 30s are the keenest to adopt plant-based diets.
- There is a constant rise in the per capita consumption of pea protein due to its wide applications in different food products, like meat, poultry, and bakery products. Around 41% of consumers are interested in plant-based food derived from pea protein. The usage of pea protein is mainly observed in sports nutrition and meat alternatives. A typical serving of pea protein powder is 30 grams, with 25 grams of protein. Athletes usually use one serving per day but may take as many as three servings per day.
- Soy and whey proteins are used primarily in the food and beverage, supplement, and sports nutrition industries. In 2021, around 36% of consumers were familiar with soy protein and had consumed the same, whereas 31% of individuals consumed whey protein in the U.S. Similarly, the consumption of soy-based food and beverages favorably increased by 12.9% during 2014-2019, and it is likely to remain consistent throughout the forecast period.

Increase in rice production to support rice protein processors
- Functional foods, particularly dietary supplements, are emerging as one of the largest application areas of rice protein, as manufacturers are embracing the blending approach for plant protein-based products. Arkansas Grand Prairie, Mississippi Delta, Gulf Coast, Sacramento Valley of California are four regions producing almost the entire U.S. rice crop. Each of these regions normally specializes in a specific type of rice, referred to in the United States by length of grain, i.e., long, medium, and short. In general, long-grain production accounts for approximately 75 % of U.S. rice production, medium-grain production accounts for about 24%, and short-grain accounts for the remaining approximate 1%.
- In 2021, the United States produced 191.6 million hundredweight (cwt) of rough rice, down 16% from 2020 but still slightly above the 2019 crop. The 2022 rice crop of 160.4 million cwt was also 16% below a year earlier, with drought in California a major factor behind declining U.S. rice production in both 2021 and 2022.
- U.S. long-grain rice production is concentrated in the South (e.g., Arkansas typically grows 56–58% of the U.S. long-grain crop.) California is the main producer of medium-grain rice, typically growing 70–77% of the crop, although Arkansas grows a substantial amount of medium-grain rice, especially in years when California is experiencing drought.
- The United States is a consistent, timely supplier of high-quality rice in both the long- and combined medium- and short-grain global markets. Although the United States accounts for less than 2% of global rice production, it ships almost 5% of global exports and was the fifth-largest exporter as of 2023.
