Animal Protein Ingredients Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Product Type (Egg Protein, Dairy Protein, Fish Protein, Gelatin, Others), By Form (Solid, Liquid, Others), By Application (Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals, Animal Feed, Others), And By Geography – Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The animal protein ingredients market will grow at a CAGR of 4.29% to be valued at US$45.09 billion in 2030 from US$36.541 billion in 2025.

Animal protein ingredients refer to those types of ingredients that are derived from animal sources. The market is projected to witness healthy growth owing to the growing consumption of protein products in both developed and developing economies of the globe due to growing awareness among the millennials about a healthy and nutritious diet. Since protein is considered one of the most essential parts of the diet as it helps to build, repair, and maintain the body's structures. A human body possesses proteins throughout the body in muscles and organs to the bones, skin, and hair, however, the incapability of the body to store proteins unlike other macronutrients is a key factor for protein intake through the diet. Higher nutrition content in animal-based products is one of the major factors that has led to high demand for animal protein ingredients, thus playing a major role in amplifying the market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the wide applications of these products in the animal feed industry are anticipated to propel the business growth opportunities for the market players over the course of the next five years. Furthermore, increased consumption of dietary supplements due to health benefits associated with it particularly among the millennials and athletes to enhance their muscle building and performance is also supplementing the demand during the given time frame. The growing participation by food companies in the R&D investments for the launch of new and enhanced foods with high protein content coupled with the launch of the new and enhanced products by protein manufacturers further provides an impetus for market growth in the near future.

Rising Vegan Population Challenges Market Growth

The growing vegan population, particularly in developed economies, is expected to hinder the growth of the animal protein market. Government initiatives promoting vegan diets are further limiting the consumption of animal-based products. The increasing preference for plant-based proteins among vegans is likely to negatively impact the market in the long term. Additionally, many governments are working to reduce animal slaughter, thereby decreasing the demand for meat-based proteins and related products. For example, the Congress of Mexico City passed an agreement encouraging public institutions to prioritize plant-based meals to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases linked to high meat consumption. Similarly, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has been actively promoting plant-based diets through campaigns like 'Eat Right India,' launched in July 2018, which emphasizes 'Eat Healthy' and 'Eat Safe' to improve public health and well-being via online and offline channels.

Asia-Pacific to Maintain Significant Market Share

The Asia-Pacific region is projected to hold a substantial share of the animal protein market, driven by strong demand for these ingredients across various applications. High demand for animal feed in the region will further support market growth during the forecast period. China, a major consumer of food, beverages, and animal feed, is experiencing a shift in consumption patterns, increasing the need for animal protein. According to the International Institute of Applied System Analytics' CHINAGRO Model II, China will need to produce an additional 200 million pigs, 3 billion poultry, and billions of fish by 2030 to meet rising demand. This surge in animal husbandry is expected to significantly boost the demand for animal protein ingredients, positively impacting market growth in the region.
