Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Insights

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market size was valued at USD 14.1 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 15 Billion in 2024 to USD 22.48 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

Proteins and amino acids are very important for animals to grow and stay healthy. Animals like calves, broilers, and pigs need amino acids to get the nutrition they need and to speed up their metabolism. The feed protein market is now being driven by changing trends and people who know how good plant-based protein is. Additionally, increasing inclination towards a vegan diet, emerging economies such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa, and increasing intolerance for animal proteins provide significant growth opportunities for plant-based protein manufacturers. It has been seen that vegans and vegetarians who own pets or animals are more likely to feed their pets or animals plant-based protein. Since there isn't a big difference between animal-based protein for feed and plant-based protein for feed, the use of and demand for plant-based protein for feed has grown a lot in recent times and will drive the feed plant-based protein market during the analysis period.

US Feed Plant-Based Protein Market  is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Regional Insights

In 2021, the European market accounted for the most significant plant-based protein market share globally. Soy, pea, and wheat are three of the most popular plant-based sources of protein for animal feed in Europe. Rising demand for organic materials in the pet food and feed sector is expected to boost sales of plant-based protein components in both North America and Europe. Nonetheless, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to continue seeing significant demand for feed plant-based protein due to factors such as the rising adoption of pets, the expansion of metropolitan areas, the rise of animal husbandry, and the expansion of the meat-eating population. As pet owners in China continue to favor prepackaged pet food over raw ingredients, the demand for plant-based protein in feed is expected to stay high.

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Dynamics

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Driver

The demand for vegetarian protein in the human population has led to a shift in the use of animal products in animal feed.

  • The demand for vegetarian protein in the human population has led to a shift in the use of animal products in animal feed. There is evidence that pets, including dogs and cats, share their owners' choice of a plant-based protein diet. Farm animal welfare and rights are the primary concern with meat-based pet food diets. Furthermore, most pet owners are animal enthusiasts, and as a result, they are more inclined to place a high value on the humane and ethical treatment of animals raised for food production. Strong growth drivers in recent years pushing plant-based pet food include an unhealthy impression of meat and environmental and sustainability concerns over animal protein manufacturing.

The increased Free-FORM MARKET.

  • The increased soy-free and gluten-free demands of the consumer is helping to drive the market. It quickly became the fastest-growing nutritional movement, gaining popularity for their health and therapeutic benefits.

Feed Plant-Based Protein Market Restraint

Increasing costs and strict regulation in some regions are the major restraints to market growth.

  • In contrast to the more relaxed controls imposed by government regulators in the Asia Pacific and South American regions, authorities in Europe and North America are very particular about what goes into the animal feed they approve. Varied countries have different rules about what can and cannot be included in pet food, including things like preservatives, ethoxyquin, and food coloring. The global trade of feed ingredients has been stifled by the absence of a unified regulatory framework. Feed ingredient businesses have lost a lot of money while investing heavily. This is because of any laws.
