The soy segment accounted for the largest share in the feed plant-based protein market

Based on sources, soy dominated the market. Soy protein products are used in feed and pet food to increase water and fat retention and improve nutritional values. It has been a substitute for traditional chemical-based feed ingredients, and soy proteins have rapid dispersibility and excellent suspension properties. Moreover, soy concentrates consist of approximately 70% protein and are highly digestible with low antigenicity. Due to these factors, soy protein is estimated to account for most of the share in the market.

The ruminants segment is projected to grow at the highest growth rate in the feed plant-based protein market during the forecast period

Based on livestock, ruminants accounted for the fastest-growing segment in the market. The rising demand for dairy dairy-based products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter in both the developed and developing countries is projected to drive the growth of the nutritional feed ingredients for the consumption of ruminants. Plant-based protein ingredients, besides increasing the production of end products obtained from ruminants, also improve their health and immune systems. Owing to these factors, the segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR.

The isolates segment is projected to grow at a significant growth rate in the feed plant-based protein market during the forecast period

By type, the market is segmented into concentrates, isolates, and other types such as textured protein and hydrolyzed protein. Protein isolates are believed to have played a major role in the development of new varieties of formulated feed ingredients. It has a high concentration of protein, with the advantage of color, flavor, and functional properties, making it an ideal raw ingredient to be used in pet food and feed for ruminants, swine, poultry, and aqua feed. Key companies such as Roquette Frères (France) are among the major producers of protein isolates and have strong product lines that cater to their customer base.
