The Hydrolyzed Animal Protein (HAP) market, valued at USD 447.0 million in 2024, is experiencing significant growth, projected to reach USD 800.5 million by 2034. This expansion is driven by the increasing demand for HAP in various sectors, from food and nutrition to pet care and supplements.
In 2024, North America held a dominant market position, capturing more than a 49.3% share worth USD 220.3 million. Dairy proteins commanded a leading 42.7% share within this region. The sports and active-lifestyle segment significantly boosts demand for hydrolyzed proteins in North America, making them a popular choice for enhanced muscle maintenance and nutrition.
Powdered hydrolyzed proteins held a commanding 72.6% share of the HAP market in 2024. These powdered proteins are valued for their enhanced digestibility, solubility, and bioavailability, making them ideal for use in a wide range of products. In North America, HAP is used for enhanced flavor, improved texture, and fast digestibility in products like soups, sauces, ready meals, snacks, and fortified bakery goods.
Hydrolyzed proteins are also used in infant nutrition formulas to make them easy to digest and reduce allergy risks. In the pet food industry, HAP is used to improve gut health and coat shine, easing digestion for picky or sensitive pets.
