The Hydrolyzed Protein Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period of 2022-2027 to reach an estimated market size of $5,725 million by 2027. Hydrolyzed proteins are used as flavor enhancers in food
industries and act as a precursor to producing Monosodium glutamate (MSG). The chemical breakdown is
facilitated by proteases and the release of glutamic acid. Hydrolyzed proteins are
easier to digest. For example, cysteine is an amino acid that is found in the
digestive enzymes or cells of the immune system or skeletal and connective
tissues. The growing role of infant nutrition around the globe, supplemented by
a rising inclination of following a healthy lifestyle relying on protein
supplementation, would continue to boost the market.
Hydrolyzed Protein Market Drivers
The Substantiating Role of Infant Nutrition in Society:
Digestive function and gut health have been in the focus for some time, which has been reflected in the growing adoption of hydrolyzed protein. This type of protein modifies the allergenic properties of infant formula. Reducing the size of cow milk proteins in the formula makes it more suitable for consumption by babies suffering from milk protein intolerance. As per Nestle Health Science, 3 in every 100 babies develop Cow Milk Protein Allergy in the first year of life.
Growing Vegan Culture and Flexitarian Diets:
The vegan population has been increasing across the globe
which would promote the adoption of plant-derived hydrolyzed proteins. As per
a study conducted by Ipsos Retail Performance, between 2004 and 2019, there was
a 30-fold increase in vegans within the United States, from nearly 290,000 in
2004 to almost 10 million in 2019. Furthermore, the numbers have risen
subsequently after the pandemic in 2020. Additionally, there are various medicinal
benefits of using plant-derived hydrolyzed proteins that are
driving the market.
Product Launch and Acquisition
In February 2022, Kerry Group PLC acquired the share capital
of C-Lecta GMBH, a German Based Biotechnology company that specializes in
precision fermentation and optimized bio-processing, amongst others. In April
