蛋白質水解物市場機會、成長動力、產業趨勢分析及 2025 - 2034 年預測

2024年，全球蛋白質水解物市場規模達35億美元，預計2034年將以4.9%的複合年成長率成長至57億美元。各行各業對功能性、易消化營養成分的需求日益成長，推動了該市場的擴張。蛋白質水解物來自植物、乳製品、動物和海洋蛋白等，因其高生物利用度和功能多樣性而備受推崇。其快速吸收的特性使其在運動營養領域尤為重要，而嬰兒營養領域則由於對低致敏性和易消化配方的需求不斷成長而持續穩步成長。這些蛋白質也廣泛應用於醫療營養、個人護理產品、醫藥級配方、動物飼料和寵物營養等領域。在眾多生產技術中，酵素水解仍是主流方法，因其高效、能夠生產高品質水解物且副產物較少而備受青睞。

儘管化學和微生物水解方法在生產具有特定功能或營養特性的客製化蛋白質水解物方面仍然發揮著重要作用，但它們往往受到副產物生成和反應環境控制較差的限制。熱處理等物理方法雖然應用較少，但正在被重新審視，並採用新技術來減少蛋白質分解並提高反應效率。生物技術、精準發酵和膜分離領域的最新突破，使製造商能夠在分子層面上微調水解物的成分。這些進步正在推動下一代水解物的開發，這些水解物將針對醫療營養、植物性運動恢復、個人化補充劑甚至化妝品配方等特定領域進行最佳化。

2024年，乳基蛋白水解物細分市場銷售額達14億美元，佔40%。這些產品因其優異的吸收性和功能特性，主要用於嬰兒配方奶粉、醫療營養和運動恢復產品。乳清和酪蛋白衍生物憑藉其卓越的營養特性，成為此細分市場表現的核心。此細分市場的優勢源自於其高營養品質以及人們對蛋白質在各個生命階段功效的日益重視。

2024年，嬰兒營養品市場佔據19.9%的市場佔有率，這得益於對傳統乳蛋白敏感或過敏的嬰兒對安全易消化的蛋白質來源的需求日益成長。由於消費者越來越關注無過敏原且腸道友善的替代品，嬰兒配方奶粉中水解蛋白的使用持續成長。這個市場不僅受到監管政策的影響，也受到知情父母對注重健康的嬰兒解決方案的強烈需求的影響。

2024年，美國蛋白質水解物市場佔據80.1%的市場佔有率，貢獻了10億美元的市場規模。由於消費者對健康、科學食品的偏好，美國已成為蛋白質水解物領域成熟且創新驅動的市場。消化健康、肌肉恢復和免疫功能的日益成長趨勢，進一步推動了不同蛋白質形式的發展。此外，人們對清潔標籤的期望值不斷上升，以及人們對植物性替代品的興趣日益濃厚，促使生產商在乳製品以外的領域進行創新。製造商正在推出更永續、生物可利用的蛋白質成分，以符合不斷變化的消費者價值觀。

全球蛋白質水解物市場的主要領導者包括嘉吉公司、戴維斯科食品國際公司、阿徹丹尼爾斯米德蘭公司、恆天然合作社和愛氏晨曦食品配料公司。各大製造商正在利用研發投入，設計針對免疫支持、腸道健康和運動恢復等特定健康功能的水解物配方。與臨床研究人員和配方專家的策略合作，使品牌能夠增強生物活性，並針對目標應用客製化胜肽譜。領先的企業正在擴展其產品組合，推出不含乳製品和低過敏原的產品，以滿足日益成長的清潔標籤和植物性趨勢。此外，各公司正在透過增加本地採購、提高可追溯性和投資製程創新來增強供應鏈的韌性，以確保在已開發市場和新興市場中產品品質始終如一，並實現具有成本效益的可擴展性。

The Global Protein Hydrolysates Market was valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% to reach USD 5.7 billion by 2034. The growing demand for functional and easily digestible nutritional components across diverse sectors is fueling the expansion of this market. Protein hydrolysates are produced from sources such as plant, dairy, animal, and marine proteins, and are prized for their enhanced bioavailability and functional versatility. Their rapid absorption makes them especially valuable in sports nutrition, while the infant nutrition segment continues to grow steadily due to increasing demand for hypoallergenic and easily digestible formulas. These proteins are also widely used in areas like medical nutrition, personal care products, pharmaceutical-grade formulations, animal feeds, and pet nutrition. Among the various production techniques, enzymatic hydrolysis remains the dominant method, appreciated for its efficiency and ability to yield high-quality hydrolysates with fewer unwanted by-products.

Although chemical and microbial hydrolysis methods continue to play a role in producing customized protein hydrolysates with specific functional or nutritional attributes, they are often limited by by-product formation and less-controlled reaction environments. Physical methods such as thermal processing, while less widely adopted, are being revisited with new techniques that reduce protein degradation and improve reaction efficiency. Recent breakthroughs in biotechnology, precision fermentation, and membrane separation are now enabling manufacturers to fine-tune hydrolysate composition at a molecular level. These advances are driving the development of next-generation hydrolysates optimized for specialized sectors like medical nutrition, plant-based sports recovery, personalized supplements, and even cosmetic formulations.

The dairy-based protein hydrolysates segment generated USD 1.4 billion in 2024 and comprising 40% share. These products are primarily used in infant formulations, medical nutrition, and athletic recovery products due to their excellent absorption and functional characteristics. With their superior nutritional profile, whey and casein derivatives are central to the segment's performance. The segment's strength stems from high nutritional quality and increasing awareness around protein efficacy in various life stages.

The infant nutrition segment held 19.9% share in 2024, driven by the increasing need for protein sources that are both safe and digestible for infants with sensitivities or allergies to traditional milk proteins. The use of hydrolyzed proteins in baby formulas continues to grow due to heightened consumer focus on allergen-free and gut-friendly alternatives. This segment is shaped not only by regulatory policies but also by a stronger demand for health-conscious infant solutions from well-informed parents.

United States Protein Hydrolysates Market held 80.1% share in 2024, contributing USD 1 billion. The country has established itself as a mature and innovation-driven landscape for protein hydrolysates, supported by consumer preference for health-forward, science-backed food products. Growing trends in digestive health, muscle recovery, and immune function are further pushing development across different protein formats. Additionally, the rise in clean-label expectations and interest in plant-based alternatives is prompting producers to innovate beyond dairy-sourced proteins. Manufacturers are introducing more sustainable, bioavailable protein ingredients that align with evolving consumer values.

Key players leading the Global Protein Hydrolysates Market include Cargill, Incorporated, Davisco Foods International, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Fonterra Co-operative, and Arla Foods Ingredients. Major manufacturers are leveraging R&D investments to design hydrolysate formulations tailored to niche health functions such as immune support, gut health, and sports recovery. Strategic collaboration with clinical researchers and formulation specialists is allowing brands to enhance bioactivity and tailor peptide profiles for targeted applications. Leading players are expanding their product portfolios with dairy-free and allergen-reduced options to meet rising clean-label and plant-based trends. Additionally, companies are strengthening supply chain resilience by increasing local sourcing, improving traceability, and investing in processing innovation to ensure consistent product quality and cost-effective scalability in both developed and emerging markets.
