If you take a look at what people in Germany are eating for breakfast, it quickly becomes clear that vegan products are becoming increasingly popular. This change shows that plant-based alternatives are no longer just a passing trend. With growing awareness of health, sustainability, and ethical consumption, demand for high-quality plant-based alternatives is also on the rise. Pea and soy protein in particular are driving this trend.

Pea protein

While soy protein has been used as a plant-based protein in countless products for decades, pea protein is currently experiencing a real boom. It is considered a low-allergen, gluten-free, and GMO-free alternative to soy.
Thanks to its neutral taste and versatility, whether in meat substitutes, protein shakes, baked goods, or vegan snacks, pea protein has become a product in high demand in the food industry. Market analyses underscore this trend, showing that global consumption will increase by approximately 20% in 2023 alone.

But why is pea protein so popular? It’s not just the health benefits, such as its lower allergenic potential, that are driving the hype. It’s the combination of different advantages that makes the difference. Sustainability, regionality, and clean label. Partial regional cultivation shortens supply chains, creates jobs, and reduces CO2 emissions. This is also because less water is used to grow peas. In Europe and North America in particular, manufacturers are therefore increasingly turning to pea protein isolates and concentrates to offer a contemporary alternative to conventional soy protein.
