What is driving the growth of the potato protein market?

Consumer concerns regarding food allergens in food products

Intolerance and allergenic reactions are common health concerns globally, particularly in regions such as North America and Europe. According to the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), in the US, nearly 200,000 people each year require emergency medical care due to allergic reactions to food, which cost about USD 25 billion annually. In the EU, according to The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), currently, around 150 million citizens suffer from chronic allergic diseases, and by 2025, it is estimated that more than 50% of all Europeans will suffer from allergies.

As a result of the growing concerns regarding allergies, an increasing emphasis is placed on accurate labeling of food products in order to help customers identify the presence of allergens. Manufacturers in the food industry have responded accordingly by introducing allergen-free products, labeling them as ‘gluten-free,’ ‘lactose-free,’ or by providing disclaimers on food products such as ‘this product is processed in a factory that also processes soy, wheat, peanuts, and eggs, among others’, in order to create product awareness and prevent allergen concerns among consumers through cross-contamination.

Therefore, consumers in the European and North American regions prefer allergen-free proteins such as potato proteins in food products. This has resulted in an increasing focus of food manufacturers on the identification of alternate sources of protein that are allergen-free, such as potato proteins. Consequently, this has resulted in increasing industrial investments in R&D for the use of potato protein in food applications.

Untapped regional markets are creating opportunities for potato protein

The market for potato protein is currently at a nascent stage of its life cycle, and its production is largely concentrated in the European region, followed by the North American region. Moreover, the production of potation protein for use in both food and feed applications is significantly low in regions such as the Asia Pacific and South America. As a result, any industrial demand in these regions has to be met with imports from the European and North American regions, which significantly adds to the cost of procurement, and thereby production, translating into higher prices of the final products. This provides an opportunity for investments in potato protein production facilities in emerging economies that would enable easy procurement of potential potato protein for industrial users.
