India's Growing Protein Market and the Importance of Diverse Protein Sources
Protein has become a prominent topic in India, shifting from a niche gym focus to a broader national conversation. The protein supplements market, valued at Rs 7,461 crore in 2024, is rapidly growing, especially in Tier 2 and 3 cities. Cultural factors have historically influenced protein consumption, with some sources like eggs and meat being socially contested. Health experts recommend rotating protein sources such as quinoa, dal, tofu, and eggs to ensure a diverse intake of nutrients beyond just quantity.
