Corn-Based Protein Market

Market Overview

Corn-based protein are comprised of zeins. Corn-based protein as a coating agent has improved the colour, texture and fragrance of food products associated to other plant-based coatings used.

The growing value of corn-based protein as a coating commodity largely contributes to the growing sales revenue of the corn-based protein industry. The properties of corn-based protein to form shiny, durable and hydrophobic grease-proof coatings, which are resistant to microbial attacks, have made the product commercially popular.

Corn-based protein is also currently used for the coating of sweets such as jelly beans and chocolates, dried fruit, almonds, nutmeg, sweetener encapsulation and flavourings.

At present, the food and pharmaceutical industries have also established commercial interests in corn-based protein. Corn-based protein has seen immense growth in the last few years as a result of growth in the plant-based protein industry.

Significant research and development has taken place in this market, where customer preference is shifting to opt for clean-label products across the globe. Presently, a significant percentage of the world's population chooses protein products as a substitute to dairy and meat proteins, which is projected to have a positive effect on the corn-based protein market.

Increasing Demand for Natural and Organic Products

Growing demand for natural and organic products is generating a higher global market for corn-based protein. Regionally, the corn-based protein market is growing, with a substantial value-added growth rate contributing to a large rise in sales for corn-based protein suppliers. As a consequence, the product penetration of corn-based protein with its variability is high.

Corn-based protein provides an incredibly smooth surface and needs just a few grams of the substance. The properties of corn-based proteins are also flexible in the healthcare industry as they are plant proteins and are not vulnerable to danger or viruses, unlike animal proteins.

Chewing gum producers often tend to use corn-based protein in the processing of their products. Nowadays, it is often found to be used in the cosmetics industry but on a lower scale as it can be used in serums and skin creams as it tends to regenerate the skin.

Corn-based protein is also used as a rather good alternative to meat-derived proteins. Moreover, the growing trend in organic products is contributing to an increase in nutritious food choices, which has an indirect effect on demand for the corn-based protein industry.
