Hexane-free Protein Market

How the Historical and Future Outlook for Hexane-free Protein Market Match Up?

The world is becoming more populated, and people are consuming more protein as a result of increasing awareness regarding health and wellness. The demand for protein, however, is in flux. An increasing people are eating meat, poultry, and milk as developed countries become more affluent. Simultaneously, the world is becoming more aware of the environmental stresses that these food choices are putting on the planet. As a result they are searching for ways to integrate plant-based foods into their diets.

Although there is a shift toward more plant-based products, most customers will not completely remove animal protein. In reality, the so-called "flexitarian" diet is gaining popularity because it provides customers with more choices for making a positive impact on the environment and their own health by eating a well-balanced, varied diet.

Leading health organizations including the American Heart Association and the American Institute for Cancer Research are constantly advising people to eat more plant-based products. Consumers tend to be paying attention, as an increasing number of people believe protein is essential for good health. Due to the increasing demand for organic plant-based protein with a hexane-free claim, manufacturers are using greener solvents to extract oil from oilseeds.

Governments and various companies around the world are looking for ways to minimize carbon dioxide emissions and their reliance on oil-based goods, and green solvent is one way to do so. Rising environmental issues, as well as support from manufacturers of paints and coatings, cosmetics, and other products, have given green solvents a boost in recent years.

According to FMI’s analysis, spurred by aforementioned factors the hexane-free protein sales have grown at 7.9% CAGR between 2016 and 2020.

Increasing knowledge and disposable income have influenced them to choose health-friendly goods, prompting manufacturers to release a slew of hexane-free proteins. Over the last few years, there has been an increase in demand for hexane-free protein due to rising health concerns. Hexane-free protein manufacturing firms have also shown an interest in increasing production capability or expanding their operations by developing new products. Hexane-free protein producers are concentrating their efforts on developing new technologies and acquiring companies with high technological capabilities.

For instance: Nutiva's MCT expanded its product portfolio in 2021 with the introduction of a new Organic MCT Protein. There is no harsh aftertaste since the Nutiva Organic MCT portfolio is hexane-free and manufactured without any additives or filler oils.

FMI expects the global hexane-free protein market to grow with a CAGR of 9.6% over the forecast period 2021-2031.

This movement is supported by a slew of food industry behemoths, who collectively advocate the expansion of all meat substitute products. With the aid of advanced food technology, manufacturers are creating dairy-free products that have the same taste and texture as meat.
