The plant-based protein market — deep dive
In the past decade, products made with plant proteins have evolved to include a wide variety of flavors, textures and formats for every eating occasion. A broader range of consumers now seeks plant-based protein goods, particularly consumers under age 40 who eat meat but are incorporating other options. Dairy alternative, sports nutrition and snacks are some of the top categories for plant-protein products, drawing from sources such as soy, pea, lentil and ancient grains.

Takeaways for your business

• Taste is the top reason for eating plant proteins, far outranking concerns about environment or diet. 
• 46% of consumers surveyed believe plant-based proteins are healthier than animal-based counterparts.
• Convenience foods, prepared breakfast items, frozen prepared foods and entrées show great potential.
