Organic Rice Protein Market Segmentation Analysis- By Type
The Organic Rice Protein market based on type can be further segmented into Isolates, Concentrates, and Others. Isolates held a dominant market share in the year 2021. Organic Rice Protein Isolates are vegan protein isolates that are being adopted as an alternative to the whey and soy protein isolates. Rice protein isolate consumption decreases fat mass and increases lean body mass and skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Moreover, various enzymes were being used to treat protein-enriched rice flours for protein isolates production.
However, Organic Rice Protein Concentrates is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 13.4% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. It is owing to their property of not impacting the product taste to which they are added. Rice protein concentrates offer food makers a non-allergenic alternative to whey and soy proteins that are better absorbed by the body than other vegetable-derived and dietary proteins, which is further propelling the demand for rice protein concentrates. Soy has been considered in the top eight most common food allergens in the world. As per estimates around 0.3% of the population has some form of soy allergy.
Organic Rice Protein Market Segmentation Analysis- By Application
The Organic Rice Protein market based on the application can be further segmented into Bakery & Confectionery, Meat Analogues and Extenders, Sports & Energy Nutrition, Dairy Alternatives, and Others.

Organic Rice Protein Market Drivers
A rising inclination towards plant protein ingredients has readily aided the market growth.
According to the survey by the International Food Information Council, 28 percent of people have reported eating more protein from plant sources in 2020. The growing consumer awareness of the health and sustainability benefits are driving the demand for plant-based proteins. Rice protein provides the body with amino acids and protects the body from high sugar in the blood. Moreover, Foods that are rich in rice protein powder create a thermic effect where the body burns more calories for hours. Rice protein has also proved to increase strength and boost muscle mass. Researchers have found that rice protein can reduce the hunger hormone and speed up metabolism. It is also found that rice protein can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the glycemic response, which is one of the major factors propelling the growth of the organic rice protein market.
The growing demand for protein ingredients that have high functional properties has enhanced the consumption of rice protein as an ingredient.
According to Euromonitor International’s Health and Nutrition Survey 2020, 50% of the consumers and respondents selected food over pills as their source of nutrients and vitamins, and even half of the consumers who are in favor of medical drugs for prevention and treatment have accepted functional foods as a source of vitamins and nutrients.
