Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 4.08 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.66% from 2025-2033. North America currently dominates the market, holding a market share of over 35.8% in 2024. The textured soy protein market share is expanding, driven by the growing consumption of plant-based food products among the masses, increasing occurrence of chronic diseases, and rising popularity of vegan diets.
Textured soy protein is processed from defatted soy flour mixture and used as a meat extender or substitute in tacos, meatloaf, chili, sloppy joes, and seafood. It can also be utilized for adding a unique texture and mild flavor to commercially made vegetarian and vegan food products, such as sauces, plant-based chili mixes, and veggie burgers. It is low in calories and contains several essential nutrients, including fiber, copper, folate, magnesium, and thiamin. It is also rich in folate, which is a water-soluble vitamin that assists in producing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the body. Presently, textured soy protein is widely available in flavored and unflavored varieties and different sizes, from large chunks to small flakes.
Textured soy protein offers numerous health benefits, such as tissue repair, wound healing, muscle growth, and reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The rising awareness among individuals about these benefits, along with a considerable shift in consumer preference towards vegetarian and vegan diets, represents one of the key factors increasing the consumption of textured soy protein worldwide. This is further supported by the rising health consciousness among the masses and the growing uptake of meat substitutes. Besides this, it is added to healthy bars, salads, cereals, baked potatoes, and stuffing as a protein additive. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for protein-based recipes on account of the emerging fitness culture, is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, manufacturers are introducing non-genetically modified organisms (non-GMO) and gluten-free variants in various shapes, colors, and textures to cater to diversified customer needs. As these products are readily available through online channels, the thriving e-commerce industry is anticipated to drive the market.
