Proteins are chains of polymers that are made from amino acids coupled with peptide bonds. During the digestion process, proteins break down in the stomach to create smaller polypeptide chains via protease and hydrochloric acid actions. This process is imperative for the absorption of vital amino acids, which cannot be biosynthesized by the human body.
Majority of the plant foods, with the exception of spinach, soy, and quinoa are usually low in one or two essential amino acids, but they can be obtained through the inclusion of a variety of whole plant foods in the diet. Demand for plant proteins expected to grow at a rapid pace due to the rising demand in food & beverage products such as bakery products, meat alternatives, cereals, snacks, and nutritional supplements among others.
Consumers are slowly becoming aware about preventive healthcare, which is fueled by rising number of online forums and magazines that offer lifestyle and diet advice and promotional offers about new products. This factor plays a key role in the development of the herbal supplements industry in U.S. Rising awareness regarding adverse effects of red meat, resulting in shift towards plant-based substitutes is driving the plant protein market.

Growing e-commerce industry is another key factor driving the sale of nutritional supplements, with retailers focusing more on improving the online shopping experience through targeted marketing and better online education, which in turn has increased the comfort level of the consumers for buying supplements online.
