The market research analysis categorizes the global soy and milk protein ingredients market into four major application segments:
- Food and beverages
- Infant formula
- Personal care and cosmetics
- Animal feed
Food and beverages
Soy and milk protein ingredients have a wide range of use in the food and beverage industry. In 2016, the overall protein ingredients market grew by around 7.5% and is expected to grow at a similar rate over the next five years. The use of proteins in beverages grew by around 10% in the last year.
Food manufacturers are developing new beverages using soy proteins that have many nutritional benefits and better taste. Hence, soy beverages such as protein drinks, yogurts, and smoothies are gaining popularity. Milk protein ingredients are commonly found in bakery products, desserts, protein bars, and others.
Infant formula
One of the major applications of soy and milk protein ingredients is in infant formulas. Soy proteins are consumed by 30% of infants in the US. These are available in powdered, liquid concentrated, and liquid ready-to-feed (RTF) forms. However, some infants are intolerant to soy products due to the presence of allergic proteins. Soy proteins have high phytoestrogen content, which can cause allergic reactions in babies.
“Milk protein ingredients are common in infant formulas. Whey milk protein is mainly given to newborns, as the whey milk derived from cow's milk has similar protein ratio to that of human milk,” says Manjunath.
Personal care and cosmetics
The use of soy and milk protein ingredients has extended to the personal care and cosmetics industry as well. Soy protein is useful due to its gelling and emulsifying properties. Hydrolyzed soy protein is usually rich in amino acids that are good for both skin and hair. The soy protein used in skin care products enhances the ability of the skin to hydrate and provides anti-aging benefits by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. Similarly, soy protein when used in hair care products helps in preventing hair damage. Milk protein is also used extensively to develop skin care products due to its skin care benefits. Milk hydrolysate is also recommended for hair repair.
Animal feed
Soy-based meal continues to remain the main source of protein in animal feed. Soy protein concentrate (SPC) has a protein content of 60% and a high percentage of amino acids. It has uses in aquaculture, acts as starter feeds for pigs and poultry, and can be a suitable milk substitute for calves. For instance, Selecta's SPC and AlphaSoy Premium POULTRY are used as animal feed. Similarly, SupOpta uses genetically modified organism (GMO)-free soy to provide an organic high-protein soybean meal.
