The global wheat protein market size is expected to reach USD 9.28 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing consumer preference for meat-free diets globally, and increasing product applications in various end-use industries, are the major factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, increasing cases of lactose intolerance have increased the demand for whey protein. The demand for food products that promote better health, particularly those that are low in fat and cholesterol, high in protein, and useful for weight management, has increased owing to rising consumers' health awareness. The number of food products that contain plant-based protein has consequently increased significantly over the past few years. Furthermore, the increasing popularity of trends such as all-natural and clean-label products is anticipated to boost demand for wheat protein. Wheat protein is widely used in the food and beverage industry, mainly in nutritional supplements, sports foods, dairy products, confectioneries, and baked goods, among other applications. Two insoluble protein groups that can be found in wheat protein are glutenin and gliadin. It is used in the manufacturing of noodles and bread as wheat protein permits a high level of dough strength by creating an elastic texture. The use of these products in the food and cosmetic industries is expected to increase due to changing consumer perceptions of wheat proteins and FDA approval for use in food products during the estimated period. The small intestine is damaged by gluten intolerance or celiac disease, an autoimmune condition that prevents the body from absorbing nutrients from food. This harm is primarily a response to eating foods containing gluten, a form of wheat protein also found in barley, oats, and rye. However, some people may still feel uncomfortable in their stomachs even though they do not suffer from Celiac disease. This factor might limit market expansion in the coming years.
