Summary
The global protein market is growing and is projected to reach $24.5 billion by 2015 with a focus on plant-based proteins. Rising costs, sustainability concerns and the ever growing consumer desire to eat clean are the reasons behind the nondairy, meat-free shift.
Editor's Take
Rising-costs of animal-based proteins and consumer interest in a more plant-centric diet are spurring development of a wider range of vegetable sources such as soy, pea, canola and even algal proteins that deliver nutrition and functionality.
