Clean-label environment with innovations in the sector drove the segmental growth
- The F&B segment remained the largest consumer of animal proteins in the Asia-Pacific animal protein market. It was highly driven by the snacks, beverages, and bakery sub-segments, which accounted for shares of 26.93%, 23.79%, and 20.5%, respectively, by volume in 2022. The bakery sub-segment is projected to record the fastest CAGR of 5.70% by value during the forecast period 2023-2029. The application of casein and caseinates is driving the bakery sub-segment in the region. Its ease of digestion has expanded its use in highly nutritious biscuits like Threptin Biscuits (Diskettes), where it can increase the protein value of the biscuit to 1.5 grams per biscuit, which can be consumed by both children and adults.
- The F&B segment recorded high demand for whey protein and gelatin. The market largely benefits from introducing new and improved protein offerings. For instance, in 2020, Arla Foods created its first clean-label environment yogurt concept, Nutrilac YO-4575, which contains 100% natural whey protein. Similarly, in May 2021, Darling Ingredients Inc.'s Rousselot brand expanded its range of purified, pharmaceutical-grade and modified gelatin with the launch of X-Pure® GelDAT – Gelatin Desaminotyrosine.
- The personal care and cosmetics segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 7.59% by value from 2023-2029. Owing to the rising consumption of collagen and gelatin-based beauty and personal care products, the personal care segment is recording increased protein applications due to its benefits, such as skin smoothing and hair conditioning. However, the rising disposable income and the growing women's working population are key drivers. For instance, in Asia-Pacific, women contributed around 35-40% of the region's GDP in 2021.

Growing demand from countries like China, India and rest of Asia-Pacific segments drive the segmental growth
- In the Asia-Pacific region, China recorded the largest share of the Asia-Pacific animal protein market in 2022, driven by the food and beverage sector, which held a significant share of 74.7% by volume, followed by the animal feed sector, with a share of 16.75% by volume. Beverages are the major sub-segment for applications of animal proteins in the food and beverages sector. This is due to improved solubility of animal proteins such as whey protein, milk protein, gelatin, collagen, and casein and caseinates. China, the second-largest beef- and veal-producing country, with a production of 7,125,000 ton in 2022, possesses a flourishing animal feed sector and is recording a significant influx of animal proteins in formulations.
- India is the fastest-growing country in the region and is projected to record a CAGR of 6.26% by value during the forecast period. During the review period, India saw the highest demand for gelatin protein, as it acts as a gelling agent, notably in soft gummy sweets, and acts as a stabilizer and whipping agent in marshmallows due to its thermo-reversible capabilities. Both new entrants and established businesses from other sectors may capitalize on the market's development potential by expanding their services in the country.
- Indonesia emerged as another growing country in the APAC animal protein market in 2022, driven by high protein consumption in the supplements segment because of the widespread attention that whey protein gained due to its functional benefits. It has become the choice of fitness-oriented Indonesian consumers, creating a demand for products containing whey in the country. As of August 2020, around 30% of consumers aged 18 or above had fitness club memberships. Such developments are boosting the market studied.
