Introduction
Global demand for texturized vegetable proteins is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, 2018-2028, mainly reinforced by the escalating health trend worldwide. As awareness regarding healthy lifestyles increases, limited fat & carbohydrate content in food is becoming a major point of contention in diets across all age groups.

Texturized soy proteins are considered as one of the best substitutes for meat products, finding applications in meat analogues and extenders.
The rising preference for meat substitutes is therefore expected to directly influence consumption of texturized vegetable proteins, thereby supplementing growth of the market. As these food items deliver higher amount of nutrition, preference for meat substitutes in diet plans is rising, which is a promising avenue for higher sales of texturized vegetable proteins.
According to the report by Future Market Insights, the global texturized vegetable protein market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.9% during the period of forecast, 2018-2028.
