Market Highlights
Global Plant-Based Food Ingredients Market is projected to be valued at USD 21,351.9 Million by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 9.88% during the forecast period. Plant-based ingredients refer to ingredients that are sourced through plants and are used as a primary raw material in food and beverages that are marketed as plant-based. These ingredients include soy, rice, almond, cashew, coconut, and oats. They are either used in their raw form or further processed into flour, oil, and milk for their application in various food industries. The global market for plant-based food ingredients is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The rising health-conscious population and growing adoption of a healthy diet are factors that are driving the market growth. The growing prevalence of lactose intolerance among the population worldwide leads to an increased demand for non-dairy products. This has increased the sales of plant-based milk and derivatives. Additionally, the growing consumer preference for a vegan and vegetarian diet is driving the growth of the global plant-based food ingredients market. However, poor sensory properties and allergic reactions associated with certain plant protein sources are likely to hamper market growth.
Europe is anticipated to acquire the largest market share during the review period. There is a shift in consumer behavior towards plant-based food products owing to the growing popularity of international cuisines. Plant-based food products are becoming so mainstream in Europe that retailers are promoting plant-based food products on the same shelves, along with traditional dairy and other conventional food products. Additionally, increasing awareness for the reduction of animal product consumption coupled with consumer awareness towards environmental costs associated with intensive livestock production are some of the factors influencing the food manufacturers to introduce plant-based food products in Europe. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to register the highest CAGR during the study period. The scenarios are changing with increasing awareness for plant-based food products, increasing per capita disposable income, and rising health consciousness. Moreover, consumers are shifting towards a healthy lifestyle and adopting veganism. All these factors are anticipated to create substantial growth opportunities for plant-based food ingredients producers in the coming years
