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.
