[186 Pages Report] The Wheat Protein Market size was estimated at USD 2.58 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 2.74 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.52% to reach USD 4.02 billion by 2030.
Wheat protein, often recognized under gluten, wheat gluten, or wheat protein isolate, is a high-quality plant protein primarily extracted and purified from the endosperm of wheat grains. It constitutes the core by-products derived from the processing and refinement of wheat. Wheat protein is composed mainly of two kinds of proteins: gliadins and glutenins. When combined with water, these two elements create a network of bonds, yielding a robust and elastic material known as gluten. Wheat protein is utilized across various sectors due to its high protein content and versatile functional properties. It encounters extensive application in the food and beverage industry, especially in bakery products, breakfast cereals, and nutritional bars, for its visco-elastic properties. Industries such as cosmetics and animal feed also harness the use of wheat protein, given its beneficial attributes.
Additionally, as a rich source of plant-based protein, wheat protein is increasingly incorporated in meat substitute products, contributing to the booming growth of the vegetarian and vegan market sectors. Several factors fuel the expansion of the global wheat protein market intricately linked to developments in the food and beverage industry. Rapid shift towards vegan and vegetarian diets, increasing health concerns among consumers, and focus on the high nutritional value of food contributes to the expansion of the wheat protein market. However, the prevalence of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity and volatility in prices of wheat used to extract proteins present a challenge to this market’s growth. On the other hand, technological advancements in the extraction of wheat protein and expanding adaption of wheat protein in the pet food industry are opening new avenues of application for the market in the coming years.
