Global Wheat Gluten Market
The Global wheat market was valued at US$ 12.8 Billion by 2021 which is expected to reach USD 3,209.50 million by 2027 at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2022-2027.
Wheat gluten is also known as seitan, wheat meat, gluten meat, or gluten. Wheat gluten is a protein that occurs naturally in wheat or wheat flour. To make it, wheat flour dough is washed in water until all the starch granules are removed. Wheat gluten powder is made by moistening durum wheat flour to activate the gluten. The hydrated pulp is then processed to remove the starch, leaving behind the gluten. Finally, the gluten is dried and ground into a powder. Some gluten varieties have chewy or chewy texture that resembles meat
Market Drivers
Growing Vegan Population and Growing Demand for Meat Alternatives.
Gluten is a protein found naturally in certain grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. Wheat glutens consist of protein fractions of gliadins and glutenin. Gliadins contain a single polypeptide chain connected by hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds, and intramolecular disulphide interactions, while glutenin’s contain intermolecular disulphide interactions. Wheat gluten and wheat starch are economically significant by-products that occur during the wet processing of wheat flour. Wheat gluten is a food ingredient and is mainly used in baked goods and processed meat. It has unique properties, such as when hydrated and mixed, it forms a very tight, flexible structure that matches the gas-holding capacity of bread dough. It can be used with wheat flour and other additives to create a soy-free textured product.
The number of vegans is increasing worldwide and so is the demand for meat alternatives. People are becoming more aware of the health benefits of plant proteins and are switching to a vegan lifestyle where wheat gluten can be a meat alternative for them. Increasing consumer preference for high-protein diets Most consumers prefer a high-protein diet for several reasons. Some of them are: protein is the building material of the human body and muscles; it is important for the functioning of the body and brain; it is important for a healthy and active lifestyle. Gluten is one of the high-protein foods that can be extracted from wheat. Gluten has a high protein content as well as vitamins and minerals such as antioxidants, fibers, vitamin B, vitamin E, magnesium, iron, folic acid, and others.
In addition, protein-rich diets and products have had a real impact on nutrition in recent years and have changed consumer attitudes towards protein in food, as adequate nutrition is an important part of a healthy lifestyle for all people. Various studies have shown the health benefits of plant proteins and public awareness has increased. Therefore, consumers prefer a high-protein diet. An increasing number of RandD functions for the discovery of new plant proteins
Market Restraints
Rising Production and Manufacturing Costs Wheat gluten has opened the door to improving and supporting health, which plays an important role in the food and beverage industry. But on the other hand, it resulted in high production and production costs. In some countries around the world, wheat gluten is considered the solution to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, there are many challenges in its manufacturing and production, such as personnel-intensive work, increasing amounts of raw materials, and the need for faster production due to increased demand. These requirements must be met effectively and efficiently. Wheat gluten requires a large capital investment to maintain RandD. New machines and equipment imply a lot of functional tests, which lead to large capital investments for small and medium-sized companies. Hereditary and chronic diseases resulting from gluten intolerance are increasing. Gluten is a type of protein extracted from wheat and other grains. There are so many cases where gluten intolerance has been found. There are several causes of gluten intolerance, including celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy. All three forms of gluten intolerance can cause widespread symptoms. Celiac disease is the most severe form of gluten intolerance. It is an autoimmune disease that affects about 1% of the population and can cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including skin problems, digestive problems, mood swings, and more. Common non-celiac symptoms include bloating, headache, abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, and constipation. Also, symptoms associated with wheat allergy include rash, indigestion, nasal congestion, and anaphylaxis.
