Pea Protein Market to Grow with a CAGR of 11.46% through 2030

Technological & Functional Innovation is expected to drive the Global Pea Protein Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030

According to TechSci Research report, “Pea Protein Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Pea Protein Market stood at USD 2.82 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 5.42 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 11.46% during the forecast period Advancements in processing technologies have significantly boosted the appeal and performance of pea protein, positioning it as a competitive alternative to traditional animal and plant proteins. Innovations such as wet fractionation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and membrane filtration have enhanced the purity, solubility, and taste profile of pea protein isolates. These methods allow for the extraction of high-protein content while minimizing off-flavors traditionally associated with legumes. Flavor-masking technologies and clean-label formulation techniques have further improved the sensory experience, enabling smoother integration into a wide range of food and beverage products from protein powders to dairy alternatives and ready-to-drink nutrition shakes.

Functionally, pea protein has become more adaptable across diverse product categories due to these innovations. Improved emulsifying, foaming, and water-binding capabilities have expanded its use in meat analogues, bakery items, sauces, and nutritional bars. Manufacturers are also experimenting with blending pea protein with other plant proteins like rice and chickpea to create complete amino acid profiles and enhance texture. These innovations not only address consumer demands for healthier, plant-based foods but also meet formulation needs for high-protein, allergen-free, and shelf-stable products. As food tech continues to evolve, functional breakthroughs will play a critical role in driving widespread adoption of pea protein in mainstream and specialized nutrition markets.
