Global Protein Hydrolysate Ingredients Market Size, Competition Landscape and Supply Chain Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Protein hydrolysate ingredients are partially digested proteins that have been broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids through enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis, making them more easily absorbed and utilized by the body. These ingredients are widely used in nutritional products such as infant formulas, medical nutrition, sports supplements, and functional foods due to their enhanced digestibility, reduced allergenicity, and rapid bioavailability. Depending on the source—such as whey, casein, soy, or plant proteins—protein hydrolysates can offer specific nutritional and functional benefits, including improved muscle recovery, support for gut health, and tailored nutrition for sensitive populations.

According to WENKH research statistics, the global Protein Hydrolysate Ingredients market size will reach 3,244.40 Million USD in 2025 and is projected to reach 4,760.42 Million USD by 2032, with a CAGR of 5.63% (2025-2032).
