Protein Enrichment: Boosting nutrition for health-conscious consumers
Discover how to enhance your solutions to meet the nutritional needs of health-conscious consumers.
Health and well-being drive food choices
Today’s consumers are more health-conscious than ever, prioritizing wellness in their food purchases. According to the Innova Lifestyle & Attitudes Food &Beverage Survey from 2025, 64% of consumers globally say that when considering health and wellbeing, the nutritional benefits of food and drink are important to them and 58% of consumers globally say that they actively include protein in their diet.
Challenge: Diversifying protein sources and meeting market demands
While most people today consume enough protein, the real challenge—and opportunity for innovation—lies in diversifying protein sources and integrating healthier options into daily diets. Western populations, for example, still derive approximately 60% of their protein intake from animal sources and only 40% from plants (FAOSTAT 2017).
Consumers are increasingly interested in plant-based proteins for reasons such as health, environmental sustainability, and ethical concerns.
However, food and beverage manufacturers face significant challenges when formulating products enriched with plant protein:
- Adjusting taste and texture to match consumer preferences
- Maintaining affordability and accessibility
- Ensuring nutritional profiles that meet wellness goals
- Overcoming consumer hesitations about taste or unfamiliar ingredients
