The Europe functional proteins market is expected to grow from US$ 1,939.84 Mn in 2019 to US$ 3,233.68 Mn by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2020 to 2027.
Germany, France, United Kingdom, and Italy are major economies in Europe. The companies are continuously improving the overall business processes to meet the customers' demand for superior quality products and services in the best possible way. The western part of Europe is known for its better living standards, with people displaying a higher income level. It is one of the wealthiest regions on the European continent, with per capita Gross Domestic Product (G.D.P.) more than the other parts. The European market for functional protein is expanding due to the presence of consumers who wish to lead active lifestyles. Functional protein derived from plants is showing increased growth as the European consumers consider them to be healthier than animal-based proteins. The growth of plant-based functional protein is supported by the rising vegan population in the region. According to Kerry Group, more than 70% of consumers in Europe believe that plant-based proteins are healthier than animal-based proteins. Thus, to meet the customer demands, manufacturers operating in the region are looking at new sources of plant-based proteins to establish themselves on the functional protein market. European consumers consume health products to prevent diseases and to feel healthy and they take more responsibility for both their physical wellbeing and mental health. Rather than focusing on treating illness, consumers recognize health increasingly in terms of preventing illness, feeling good and looking radiant. Moreover, the aging population in the region is another factor contributing to the market expansion. With the new varieties and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe functional proteins market. The Europe functional proteins market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
