Moreover, companies using plant-based proteins are growing, as a huge number of populations within the region are low lactose-intolerant.
Oryzenin Market Drivers
The growing adaptation of vegan protein has been a key driver for Oryzenin ingredient usage
Plant-based proteins have been gaining immense market traction over the last two years and a half. Product innovations, strategic alignment, marketing campaigns were some of the prominent methods which were adopted by the key market players. The said strategies have directly aided the overall usage of Oryzenin amongst the masses. Another important factor that has helped the ingredients is that the raw material or rice has been highly regulated, and its production hasn’t significantly taken a blow even during the pandemic which has readily translated into healthy adoption in product innovations. As per the Plant-Based Association, the plant-based alternative segment registered a revenue of $7 billion in 2020. Furthermore, the results were the needed push from the pandemic. Google Trends has now shown that veganism as a trend is twice as popular as it was just five years ago, and the tell-tale signs only opine positive industry results.

Additionally, the consumers have soared in to only partake healthy items which are obtained from cruelty-free manners and ways. Bovine-based milk has reported having been using antibiotics and other elements which increases the overall by-products. However, plant-based protein or in this scenario rice protein are generally free from such cruel practices, and consumers' prime reason for adopting such proteins is that they provide no deterrent effect on the environment.
Oryzenin Market Challenges
Low market penetration owing to insignificant ingredient knowledge and overall low usage of rice protein in terms of dairy alternatives has impeded the market growth
Consumers are still wary of using plant-based alternatives for their protein intake. The said statement didn’t stand true a year back when the entire world was preferring vegan over meat protein. However, vaccinations and the opening of economies have put the entire surge of plant protein in question, as the latter is observing a declining revenue from their category segment. Moreover, protein from rice stands significantly at a lower podium when compared with other alternatives within the plant-based. Additionally, predominant product innovations were noticed in almond, oat, and other nut alternatives owing to their high protein content. Furthermore, for example, Pure Almond Milk serving of 8 ounces provides around 5grams of protein, however, rice milk provides no such contribution in terms of protein. Owing to such factors, the overall market growth has been impeded.

- In June 2021, the University of Westminster found that plant-based protein drinks may be a more viable alternative to milk-based whey protein shakes. The study was published in the journal- Nutrients. During the study, the blood metabolic response of participants was measured after drinking potato, rice, and a whey protein shake. Appetite was also monitored in the following three hours to understand how these drinks may affect the participants' hunger and their desire to eat. The protein found that the rice protein led to overall lower levels of insulin rise, which in turn makes it a favorite ingredient for the sports and nutrition category.
- In January 2021, No Cow Protein Bar launched its Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The said product has its key ingredient as brown rice protein. While each serving would induce 190 calories, with 0 calories. Additionally, dietary fiber would be provided in the proportion of 16 grams, which readily suffices up to 57% of RDV, thereby helping the diabetic population to introduce the said in their diet. Moreover, 21 grams of plant-based proteins can be provided with each serving.
