Agriculturists around the world are increasingly encouraging usage of plant-derived organic fertilizers. This is largely in response to concerns over soil degradation while using single use synthetic fertilizers. Besides chances of contamination of surrounding underground water and increase in toxic salts, they eliminate useful microorganisms for plant nutrition.
While deploying organic fertilizers, soil microorganisms themselves degrade them until they become water soluble compounds that plants take advantage from. Another valuable feature is that they stimulate bacterial and fungal activity which benefits the soil in general. Moreover, organic fertilizers help proliferate growth of microorganisms.
Based on these properties, deployment of soybean protein hydrolysate fertilizers is augmenting on a large-scale. Several small-scale and medium-scale manufacturers are active in this domain. For instance, Qingdao Future Group manufactures the AmiStar® 800 soybean hydrolysate fertilizer, obtained from soybean cake and completely water soluble. Furthermore, it provides organic nitrogen in free amino acid form which can be directly used in the crop. It is highly adherent to leaves, attributed to its high viscocity.

The U.S soy protein hydrolysate industry is gaining momentum and is predicted to remain the most lucrative across North America, attributed to a mushrooming vegetarian and vegan population in recent years. According to VeganNews, the number of Americans following plant-based diets is around 10 million, or nearly 3% of the population. This is almost a 300% increase over the last 15 years.
According to Fact.MR, the market for soy protein hydrolysate in the U.S is expected to capture 33% of global revenue. Furthermore, the most commonly used cooking oil in the U.S is soybean oil, which is typically labelled as vegetable oil. The Soy Nutrition Institute also says that about 7% of the calories consumed by Americans come from soybean oil. Soy protein is primarily utilized by the food industry for functional purposes, such as moisture retention, instead of nutritional reasons.
Taking into account the aforementioned trends, it is unsurprising to find prominent manufacturers vying for a significant presence. For instance, Archer Dainels Midland Company (ADM) offers the Pro-Fam® 974 Isolated Soy Protein, a soluble, dispersible product developed for use in food systems requiring highly functional proteins, and is used in processed meats, emulsified meats, and sausage-type meats. Likewise, CHS Inc. offers a broad range of soy protein isolates for ready-to-drink and dry blended beverages.
According to China Dialogue, over the last 25 years, soy imports have increased 25% annually on average, reaching almost 100 million tons in 2020. A key expansion driver for the East Asian giant is the flourishing livestock industry. Between 2008 and 2020, the amount of soybean meal used in China rose from 31.67 million to 76.83 million tons.
The Chinese government is also making efforts to balance out consumption of plant and animal proteins, which is also widening growth prospects for soy protein hydrolysates across the country. Soy protein contains eight out of nine essential amino acids required by the human body. Also, extensive reliance on soy protein as animal fodder has led to wastage of resources. For obtaining 1 kg of animal protein, 2-4 kg of soy protein is used.
Hence, using soy protein for human consumption could reduce this wastage by 2-4 tons. Also, efforts are also being made to curb food wastage from commercial sectors, mostly from restaurants. About 34-36 million tons of food is wasted annually by Chinese cities, as per a report published by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee. Hence, cutting this waste in half would enable saving of up to 60 million tons of food every year, while also free up land for soy cultivation. Based on aforementioned trends, the market for China is slated to account for 45% of global soy protein hydrolysate demand.
Dry soy protein hydrolysate will continue to outsell the liquid variant throughout the assessment period. As per Fact.MR, the segment currently commands 84% market share. By 2031, over US$ 1.5 Bn worth of dry soy protein hydrolysate is expected to be consumed worldwide.
This elevated share of dry soy protein hydrolysate stems from the fact that it is easily incorporated across a variety of food applications. Key manufacturers, such as DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences, are active in the dry soy protein domain. The company offers soy protein alternatives for meat applications (RESPONSE®), meat alternatives (SUPRO® and ALPHA®), nutrition bars, snacks & cereals and animal feed.
Consumption of soy protein hydrolysate through functional food is expected to remain significantly high in the forthcoming years. According to Fact.MR, the segment was valued at US$ 261.4 Mn as of 2020. Increasing demand for additional protein intake is spurring demand.
Soy flour, more specifically, highly purified soy proteins, contain various constituents that prove useful in combating numerous diseases. For instance, soy isoflavones may help prevent diseases associated with post-menopausal women, such as osteoporosis and coronary heart disease.
According to Fact.MR, the fulfillment of nutrients is the most prominent function of soy protein hydrolysates, and is likely to account for a CAGR of 5% across the 2021-2031 assessment period. Demand is especially high, as consumers increase their intake of plant-based protein hydrolysates.
Moreover, plant-derived hydrolysates act as effective plant bio-stimulants, attributed to their potential to enhance germination, productivity and quality of a wide range of horticultural and agronomic crops. Also, soy-based protein hydrolysates are said to possess anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer effects.
