India's Plant-Based Protein Market Expected to Double to Rs 9,000 Crore in Five Years
India's plant-based protein ingredient market is projected to double to Rs 9,000 crore within five years, driven by a consumer shift from calorie-consciousness to targeted nutrition. The sector is growing at 18% annually, surpassing the global growth rate. Currently, about 90% of plant-protein ingredients are imported, highlighting opportunities for domestic manufacturers. Industry experts emphasize the role of plant-based foods in sustainable food systems and call for policy support to build local production and reduce import dependence.
