Protein ingredients are in high demand, as over two thirds of people aim to consume moderate to high amounts of protein, according to a study by Datamonitor, and since 54% of people globally eat low or no-meat diets, vegetable proteins have taken a particularly strong role in the market. Now more than ever it is crucial to stay informed as new trends evolve.
