Company references (major suppliers — with values / public context)

• Roquette (NUTRALYS®) — one of the largest global pea-protein ingredient suppliers; Roquette group turnover €4.495 billion (2024) — pea protein is a major plant-protein line for the group.

• Ingredion — global ingredients group that launched a new pea-protein isolate (VITESSENCE Pea 200 D) as part of an expanded plant-protein portfolio; group sales ≈ USD 7.4B (2024).

• AGT Food & Ingredients — large pulse/pea processor and ingredient supplier (company cited as generating over USD 3 billion in annual revenue). 

• Cosucra / COSUCRA — specialist European pea-ingredient producer; raised €45M (Jun 2023) for capacity / energy transition and scaling pea/chicory ingredient lines.

• PURIS — leading North American pea-protein producer (sustainability/impact reporting and active capacity announcements).

Note: most ingredient firms report corporate/group revenue rather than a line item exclusively labelled “pea protein.” Use vendor reports or company disclosures when you need supplier share estimates.

Market-size snapshot (representative estimates)

• USD 2.12B (2023) → USD 4.71B by 2030 (CAGR ~12.1%).

• USD 2.1B (2024) → USD 3.7B by 2029 (CAGR ~12.0%).

Bottom line: most mid-2020s reports cluster around USD ~2.0–2.4B today with forecasted ~~12% CAGR — reaching roughly USD 3.5–4.7B by 2030 depending on scope (isolates/concentrates vs broader ingredient definitions).

Recent developments (selected, 2023–2025)

• Capacity & financing moves: EIB provided a €50M loan to Lantmännen to build a new pea-protein isolate factory in Sweden (2025) — example of regionalization of capacity in Europe.

• New product launches & supplier innovation: Roquette extended its NUTRALYS® functional pea range (2024 product launches); Ingredion introduced a new pea-protein isolate for beverages (2024).

• Trade & sourcing shifts: Changes in global pea flows (e.g., Russia growing as a large pea exporter to China in 2023/24) and trade actions (U.S. AD/CVD measures on some imports) have materially affected supply economics and sourcing patterns.

Drivers

• Rapid consumer shift to plant-based proteins (meat/dairy alternatives, sports nutrition, high-protein foods).

• Allergen-friendly & non-GMO positioning (pea vs soy/dairy) and strong sustainability credentials.

• Ingredient R&D improvements—neutral-flavor isolates, textured pea proteins and enhanced functionality expanding applications.

Restraints

• Price and functional performance vs whey/soy in some formulations (pea still premium for certain grades).

• Supply volatility & crop concentration (seasonality, a small number of large processors) can cause price and availability swings.

• Flavor / mouthfeel formulation challenges (bitterness, texture) that sometimes require blends or masking.

Regional segmentation analysis

• Europe — fast capacity expansion and policy support for local protein supply (EIB/Lantmännen loan); strong demand for plant-based foods.

• North America — leading in product innovation and many new lines (PURIS, Ingredion, others); subject to trade/tariff dynamics.

• Asia-Pacific — key growth runway (China, India) for demand and processing; China plays a big role as a pea-protein producer (and importer of peas).

Emerging trends

• Texturized pea proteins & high-moisture extrusion for next-gen meat analogs.

• Regionalization / near-shoring of processing capacity to reduce dependency on long import chains (EU & NA capacity projects).

• Vertical integration by large pulse processors and ingredient groups moving into finished pea-protein lines.

Top use cases

1. Meat analogs & textured vegetable protein (burgers, nuggets).

2. Protein beverages / RTDs & nutrition powders.

3. Bakery, bars & fortification (high-protein foods).

4. Sports / performance nutrition (protein powders, shakes).

Major challenges

• Scaling cost-competitive, neutral-flavor isolates at commodity prices.

• Supply chain resilience amid crop/geo shifts and tariffs.

• Competition from other proteins (soy, whey) and emerging alternatives (fermentation-derived proteins, single-cell proteins).

Attractive opportunities

• Texturization (high-moisture extruded pea) for realistic meat analogs — large TAM if cost/function parity is achieved.

• Regional isolate facilities (EU/NA) to capture premium, shorten lead times and secure offtakes (Lantmännen example).

• Ingredient blends & co-processing (pea + other plant proteins / fermentation proteins) to improve taste, nutrition and cost competitiveness.

Key factors of market expansion

• Pace of plant-based food adoption (retail & foodservice) and formulation wins by leading brands.

• Investment in processing capacity & regional plants (public/private financing for isolate factories).

• Breakthroughs in flavor-masking, extrusion & texturization that expand high-value use cases.
