US Plant-based Proteins Market Outlook
According to the report, The US plant-based proteins industry is witnessing steady expansion as consumers increasingly shift toward healthier and more sustainable dietary choices. The growing prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases has encouraged consumers to adopt plant-based diets rich in protein yet low in cholesterol. Rising environmental concerns and the growing popularity of flexitarian lifestyles further fuel market growth, with consumers seeking to reduce meat consumption without compromising nutritional value. Major food companies like Tyson Foods and Nestlé are investing heavily in plant-based product lines, signaling the mainstream acceptance of these alternatives.
The report also examines consumer preferences, regulatory impacts, and investment trends that will shape the market’s trajectory over the next decade.
US Plant-based Proteins Market Drivers:
Rising Health and Wellness Awareness among US Consumers
In 2024, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC), under the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), proposed reorganizing the “Protein Foods” group to place beans, peas, and lentils at the forefront. This recommendation emphasizes the nutritional superiority of plant-based proteins, known for being high in fiber and low in saturated fat. As more Americans seek foods that align with heart health and weight management goals, demand for plant-based protein products continues to surge. Consequently, major players such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods are expanding product portfolios with fortified, nutrient-dense offerings to cater to this growing segment.

US Plant-based Proteins Market Trends:
Functional and Hybrid Protein Products Gaining Traction
In the United States, plant-based protein products are evolving beyond simple substitutes to become functional and hybrid formulations combining plant and animal proteins. In 2025, the plant-based protein market will still emphasize pea and chickpea proteins for snacks and RTDs, with clean-label claims becoming central. Food manufacturers are launching hybrid meat-and-plant blends to deliver texture, nutrition, and familiar taste. This forces incumbents to innovate, reformulate, and scale production, thereby accelerating market growth while reshaping supply-chain partnerships and ingredient ecosystems.
