Textured Soy Protein Market Outlook - 2026
The global textured soy protein market size was valued at $1.1 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $2.1 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 8.7% from 2019 to 2026. Textured soy protein (TSP), also known as textured vegetable protein, is produced from defatted soy flour. The defatted soy flour is made by grounding defatted soy flakes, which are obtain by extracting oil from soybeans. Textured soy protein is used as a meat analog or extender, which high protein content. The textured soy protein is available in dried, granular form in the market. It has a similar texture to beef meat or other meat products. Textured soy protein should be rehydrated in boiling water before use.
Consumers have limited the consumption of meat in their diet, due to increase in health concerns. This has shifted their preference toward plant-based proteins, which serve as ideal alternatives to meat products. This factor is anticipated to boost the demand for textured soy protein, which will fuel the growth of the global textured soy protein market in the forthcoming years. Moreover, increase in animal welfare and environmental awareness encourages consumers to seek for plant-based products to ensure animal well-being, which significantly contributes toward the growth of the global market.
In addition, textured soy protein as meat extender is considered to be economically more feasible as compared to other protein products, which fosters the textured soy protein market expansion. However, the availability of variety of other plant-based proteins such as chickpeas, chia, fava beans, and quinoa is anticipated to hamper the textured soy protein market growth.
Soy has been gaining high traction from various sectors in the food & beverages industry. However, in the past couple of years, the demand for various other types of plant-based proteins such as fava beans, chickpeas, chia, and quinoa has increased significantly, due to rise in number of vegan population. These plant-based proteins comprise of the same nutritional value as that of textured soy protein. As a result, these proteins pose as a potential threat to the global market.
Lactose intolerance is a clinical syndrome that occurs when the inability to digest lactose (sugar present in milk) results in gastrointestinal symptoms. Overall, nearly 70% of the global population experiences some or the other form of lactose deficiency. However, the deficiency rate among consumers differ according to regions. For instance, Northern Europe has lower rates of lactose deficiency, whereas in Asia, the lactose deficiency rates are as high as 60%. As a solution to this intolerance, consumers rely on lactose-free products for consumption. Thus, textured soy protein serve as an ideal substitute to dairy products, which sights immense opportunity in gaining traction among the lactose-intolerant consumers.
