Long-Term Forecast Highlights Strong Market Potential
Looking ahead, the hydrolyzed vegetable proteins market is anticipated to reach $2.63 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.7%.

Key trends expected to shape the market include increased use of plant-based flavor enhancers, growing demand for clean-label ingredients, wider adoption in meat substitute formulations, diversification of hydrolyzed protein applications, and a stronger emphasis on optimizing umami flavor.
Understanding Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteins and Their Role
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteins (HVP) are proteins derived from vegetables that have been broken down into amino acids through a hydrolysis process. They are commonly used as flavor enhancers in various processed foods such as soups, sauces, and seasonings. HVP contributes a savory and umami taste that enhances the overall flavor profile of these products.

Rising Popularity of Plant-Based Diets Driving Market Demand
One of the main factors propelling the hydrolyzed vegetable proteins market is the increasing popularity of vegetarian and vegan diets. These diets exclude all animal-derived foods and thus create a need for versatile and sustainable protein alternatives from plant sources. For example, Veganuary, a UK-based nonprofit promoting vegan lifestyles, reported a rise in its official campaign participants from 629,000 in 2022 to 706,965 in 2023, indicating growing consumer interest. This surge supports higher demand for hydrolyzed vegetable proteins as a suitable protein source for plant-based consumers.
Health Awareness Acting as a Key Growth Catalyst in the Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteins Market
Consumers’ growing health consciousness is another powerful driver behind the hydrolyzed vegetable protein market’s expansion. Health consciousness involves individuals or groups being proactive about maintaining and improving their well-being. Many consumers now view hydrolyzed vegetable proteins as healthier alternatives to animal proteins. For instance, in June 2024, the International Food Information Council (IFIC) reported that 54% of Americans followed a specific diet or eating pattern in the past year, with protein intake interest climbing steadily from 59% in 2022 to 71% in 2024. Additionally, around half of consumers aimed to increase fresh food consumption, reinforcing the trend toward healthier eating habits. All these factors contribute to the rising demand for hydrolyzed vegetable proteins.
Regional Market Leadership and Growth Projections
In 2025, North America emerged as the largest market for hydrolyzed vegetable proteins. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. The market report covers several key regions, including Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East and Africa, providing a comprehensive view of global market dynamics.
