Plasma powder, obtained through the spray-drying process of plasma, serves as a protein-rich ingredient extensively utilized to enhance the nutritional value and foster growth in animal diets. Apart from contributing to the well-being of pets by providing ample protein, this ingredient plays a crucial role in ensuring the tenderness, elasticity, and moistness of both chunks and pate.
The primary sources of plasma powder encompass bovine (related to cattle), porcine (related to pigs), ovine (related to sheep), and other sources. Derived from cattle, bovine-based plasma powder finds applications in various sectors, including food and pharmaceuticals, prized for its nutritional benefits and functional attributes. Available in dry and wet forms, these products are distributed via diverse sales channels, both online and offline, and find utility in a wide array of uses, such as pet food, pig feed, poultry feed, aqua feed, ruminant feed, human food, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the pharmaceutical sector. Companies are grappling with higher costs on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), glass vials, and laboratory equipment-many of which have limited alternative sources. Generic drug manufacturers, already operating with minimal profit margins, are particularly affected, with some scaling back production of low-margin medications. Biotech firms are also experiencing delays in clinical trials due to shortages of specialized reagents linked to tariffs. In response, the industry is shifting API production to regions like India and Europe, building up inventory reserves, and advocating for tariff exemptions on essential medicines.
The plasma powder research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides plasma powder market statistics, including the plasma powder industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with an plasma powder market share, detailed plasma powder market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the plasma powder industry. This plasma powder market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The plasma powder market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.04 billion in 2024 to $3.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to material science advancements, rise in surface modification techniques, demand for advanced coatings, semiconductor and electronics industry, medical and biomedical innovations
The plasma powder market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging nanotechnology integration, exploration in catalytic applications, integration in smart materials, adoption in 3d printing, demand in biomedical engineering. Major trends in the forecast period include plasma-polymer composite materials, hybrid additive manufacturing processes, customizable smart coatings, bioresorbable implants and coatings, plasma powder for 5g technologies.
The forecast of 5.7% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to burden U.S. trauma centers by driving up the cost of lyophilized plasma products and hemostatic wound dressings sourced from Israel and Switzerland, exacerbating emergency care expenses and increasing battlefield medicine burdens. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising demand for high-quality protein feeds is expected to drive the growth of the plasma powder market in the future. This increase in demand refers to the growing consumption of nutritious, high-quality feed by pets and domestic livestock. Plasma powder serves as a vital ingredient in making animal feed healthier and more nutritious. For example, in January 2022, according to the American Feed Industry Association, a U.S.-based non-profit representing the animal feed industry, the U.S. animal feed market is projected to grow by approximately 2.5% annually, reaching around 254.6 million tons valued at approximately $48.8 billion by 2025. Therefore, the growing demand for high-quality protein feeds is fueling the growth of the plasma powder market.
The increase in pet adoption is expected to boost the growth of the plasma powder market in the coming years. Pet adoption involves providing a permanent home and care for animals, often from shelters or rescue organizations. Plasma powder is used as a high-quality protein source in pet food, derived from blood plasma, and provides essential amino acids and nutrients that enhance the nutritional profile and well-being of pets. For instance, in October 2023, according to the American Pet Products Association, a U.S.-based non-profit association, 86.9 million U.S. households owned a pet, representing 66% of all households, compared to 62% in 2022. Therefore, the rise in pet adoption is driving the growth of the plasma powder market.
Product innovation stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the plasma powder market, with companies actively launching new product lines to secure their market positions. A case in point is Octapharma AG, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company, which, in February 2023, secured European Union (EU) approval for its octaplasLG powder. This lyophilized (freeze-dried) form of their established plasma for transfusion represents a noteworthy line extension marketed in Europe as a powder and solvent solution for infusion. OctaplasLG powder, a pharmaceutical-grade human plasma product, ensures standardized quality and outstanding pathogen safety profiles, achieved through Octapharma's integrated pathogen elimination and inactivation concept. This innovation underscores the commitment of companies in the plasma powder market to elevate product offerings through advanced formulations and safety measures.
Major companies operating in the plasma powder market are investing in the development of new pilot spray dryers. These scaled-down versions of industrial spray dryers are instrumental in producing powdered or granulated materials from liquid or slurry feedstocks. Illustratively, in April 2023, RELCO LLC, a US-based food processing equipment company, introduced the Parvus pilot spray dryer tailored for various food applications. The Parvus Nomad, a single-stage dryer for trial batches and smaller production volumes, and the Parvus Multi-Stage, designed for larger production volumes, provide flexibility for initial testing and scalability. This innovation addresses emerging opportunities in markets such as plant protein, fermentation, and collagen. The compact design of the pilot spray dryer caters to space constraints and shipping considerations, making it an agile solution for small-scale and trial needs, showcasing a strategic approach to advancing technology in the plasma powder market.
In May 2022, Darling Ingredients Inc., a US-based sustainable natural ingredients provider, completed the acquisition of Valley Proteins for $1.1 billion. This strategic move by Darling Ingredients Inc. is aimed at strengthening its operations while expanding its range of feedstocks with reduced carbon intensity. Valley Proteins, the acquired company, is a US-based rendering company specializing in animal by-products, including protein meals and ingredients for pet food.
