Protein Hydrolysates is a mixture of oligopeptides, peptides, and free amino acids that are produced by partial or extensive hydrolysis. It is a highly pure form of protein and thus rapidly absorbed by the body. The protein hydrolysates market is expected to have a significant market growth as it is increasingly consumed in sports nutrition, clinical nutrition, infant nutrition, food& beverages, cosmetics, personal care and others. Rising health awareness leads to increasing consumption of dietary supplements which is expected to drive the market growth. However, stringent government regulations are expected to be a restraint for market growth. By application, sports nutrition segment is expected to have a considerable market share because its intake results in faster absorption of amino acids. By product, milk protein is expected to have considerable market share due to rising consumption of whey protein. By geography, the Asia Pacific segment is expected to have a significant growth rate due to rising health awareness and increasing spending on sports and infant nutrition.
