For instance, in November 2023, Singaporean plant-based protein food firm Relsus launched its premium range of plant-based protein powders across India. This shift is due to the increased awareness of the health benefits associated with plant consumption, including improved cardiovascular health and weight management.
 

Potato protein, being a superior protein source, allergen-free, and easy to digest, is especially popular with health-conscious consumers, vegetarians, and those with dietary restrictions, such as gluten intolerance. The growing inclination towards cleaner non-GMO labels is further driving the product demand, as it matches these preferences perfectly whilst providing a natural and minimally processed protein substitute.
 

The extensive usage of potato protein in various industries, such as food & beverages (F&B), animal feed, and pharmaceuticals is fueling the market growth. In the food sector, it is used to enhance the nutritional value of plant-based meat products, dairy substitutes, and protein supplements. In September 2023, Avebe offered cheese options that use potato ingredients. Strong developments in extraction and processing technologies are further improving the efficiency and quality of potato protein production, making it a viable option for a wide variety of applications.
 

However, the lack of advanced technology and capital to produce high-quality potato protein, which can be very valuable compared to other plant-based proteins, may limit the market expansion to a certain degree. Limited access of raw materials and changes in potato crop production can also cause disruptions in the supply chain due to weather conditions.
 

Potato Protein Market Trends

The demand for allergen-free and gluten-free protein alternatives is rising, as consumers with dietary restrictions are seeking safe and nutritious options. Potato protein is preferred due to its low environmental impact and efficient use of by-products from potato processing, namely economic principles. Advancements in extraction technology are increasing the functionality of potato protein, making it more suitable for a wide range of applications from sports nutrition to plant-based meat. To illustrate, in September 2023, the U.K.’s biggest potato supplier, Branston revealed that it would begin production at its new facility for potato protein extraction in early 2024.
