Seed protein supplements are nutritional products obtained from the protein found in various seeds, including hemp, pumpkin, sunflower, and watermelon. They offer a concentrated source of plant-based protein to support general health, muscle upkeep, and overall wellness. These supplements are commonly added to diets to increase protein intake while encouraging sustainable and natural nutrition.
The main types of seed protein supplements include hemp, pumpkin, sunflower, and others. Hemp seeds come from Cannabis sativa and are nutrient-dense, providing complete plant protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, which support overall health and wellness. They are offered in various forms such as powder, protein bars, ready-to-drink shakes, and others, and are distributed through multiple channels, including online or e-commerce, chemists or pharmacies, hypermarkets and supermarkets, health food shops, and others, and are utilized for various end uses, including sports nutrition and supplement nutrition.
Tariffs are impacting the seed protein supplements market by increasing costs of imported raw seeds, protein isolates, processing enzymes, and packaging materials used across powder, bar, and ready-to-drink formats. North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported specialty seeds and processing inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressures in export-oriented supplement manufacturing. These tariffs are raising product prices and compressing margins for manufacturers. However, they are also encouraging local sourcing of seeds, regional processing investments, and development of vertically integrated plant protein supply chains.

The seed protein supplements market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.91 billion in 2025 to $2.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising consumer awareness of plant-based nutrition, increasing prevalence of fitness-focused lifestyles, expansion of vegan and vegetarian populations, improved availability of seed protein raw materials, growth of sports nutrition consumption.
The seed protein supplements market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable protein sources, rising interest in personalized nutrition, expansion of e-commerce supplement sales, growing focus on environmentally responsible food products, increasing innovation in plant protein extraction technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for plant-based protein alternatives, rising adoption of clean-label nutrition products, growing popularity of sustainable protein sources, expansion of functional protein supplement formulations, enhanced focus on allergen-free protein products.
The rising popularity of veganism and plant-based diets is expected to drive the growth of the seed protein supplements market in the coming years. Veganism and plant-based diets are dietary patterns that exclude or substantially limit animal products while focusing on foods derived from plants, including seeds, nuts, legumes, and grains. These diets are becoming more common due to growing health awareness, as consumers increasingly recognize the potential benefits of plant-based nutrition in lowering the risk of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The growing adoption of plant-based diets is significantly boosting the demand for seed protein supplements, as individuals transitioning to or following these diets actively seek concentrated, high-quality plant protein sources to meet their nutritional needs and maintain sufficient protein intake. For example, in February 2023, according to Veganuary, a UK-based nonprofit organization that promotes vegan lifestyles through its annual January campaign, the number of official campaign participants increased from 629,000 in 2022 to 706,965 in 2023, indicating a rise in participation. Thus, the growth of veganism and plant-based diets is propelling the expansion of the seed protein supplements market.
Major companies operating in the seed protein supplements market are emphasizing the development of innovative products such as high-bioavailability plant-based proteins to address rising consumer demand for sustainable, easily digestible, and nutrient-dense protein sources. High-bioavailability plant-based proteins are derived from plants and designed for optimal absorption and efficient utilization of amino acids in the body, supporting improved muscle recovery, energy levels, and overall nutrition compared to standard plant proteins. For example, in August 2025, NNB Nutrition Co., Ltd., a China-based manufacturing company, introduced TruSeed P and TruSeed W, next-generation protein powders sourced from pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds, respectively. These proteins are created using proprietary extraction and filtration methods that retain essential nutrients while enhancing digestibility and amino acid uptake. TruSeed P and W are allergen-free, aid muscle recovery, promote gut-friendly digestion, and provide sustained energy, making them suitable for sports nutrition, functional foods, and wellness supplements. By providing a clean-label, sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources, they address the increasing consumer preference for high-quality, plant-based nutrition.
In April 2023, Avril SA, a France-based food and agricultural manufacturing company, acquired Sunbloom Proteins GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Avril SA intends to reinforce its presence in the plant-based protein market, broaden its portfolio of innovative plant-based ingredients, improve its research and development capabilities, and accelerate the development and commercialization of high value-added sunflower proteins for various food applications.
