Growth Drivers
Growing Demand for Protein Supplements – Protein supplements have become the prime ingredient in the diets of muscle-builders and gym freaks. Every 2 in five Americans often eat protein beverages and smoothies, that account for 46% of the population. Moreover, most Americans consume twice as much protein as they need.
Rising use of Collagen-based Products – Collagen is frequently used in cosmetics with the goal of minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, cellulite and enhancing the flexibility of the skin. Most of the collagen is extracted from beef and fish. Cellulite is likely to affect 80 to 90 percent of females, and it usually affects the thighs and glutes.
Rising Production of Meat – Growing production of meat is expected to create lucrative opportunities for animal proteins. According to the reported data, in comparison to fifty years ago, the world currently produces more than three times as much beef. About 340 million tons were produced in 2018.
Rise in the Number of Cattle – Higher population of livestock and aquaculture is likely to give a major boost to the production of animal-based products. In 2021, there were around 996 million cattle in the world, which further increased to nearly 1 billion in the year 2022.
Higher Consumption of Baby Formula – Infant formula milk are very important for the healthy growth of the baby, it provides essential nutrients and vitamins. Baby formula contains different types of animal proteins, such as whey protein, cow’s milk, goat’s milk, milk protein isolate, and others. Over the course of the first month, newborns steadily eat more baby formula and eventually reach a feeding size of 3 to 4 ounces (90 to 120 ml) per feeding, or 32 ounces per day.
Challenges
The global animal protein market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into food & beverages, pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals, cosmetics & personal care, and feed. Out of the four application of animal protein, the food & beverages segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising use of animal proteins, such as dairy, egg protein, and gelatin in the food and beverage industry owing to their high nutritional value. Moreover, higher consumption of ice cream is also expected to boost the segment growth. Ice creams are made with gelatin, which serves as an emulsifier. Moreover, it maintains the freshness of the ice cream and provides it texture. With a yearly intake of around 28 liters per person, New Zealand is the country with the highest ice cream consumption in the world. Moreover, during the Australian summer, ice cream consumption surges, around 3% of grocery customers buy ice cream cartons weekly while nearly 19% consume them monthly. In addition to this, every two to three months, about 21% of consumers buy ice cream tubs.
The global animal protein market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product into egg protein, dairy protein, fish protein, and gelatin. Amongst these four segments, the dairy protein segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. The growth of the segment is primarily ascribed to the rising production of milk. The amount of milk produced globally in 2019 increased by around 1% to 852 million tons, out of which around 81% consisted primarily of cow milk, nearly 15% buffalo milk, and goat, sheep, and camel milk had a share of approximately 4%.
