Plant protein sources such as soy, pea, and nuts are growing in popularity to meet ongoing demand for protein at a time when consumers are increasingly opting for meat-free or reduced-meat diets. Meat avoidance is growing for various health, financial, sustainability, and ethical reasons. At the same time, there is insatiable demand for protein, creating opportunities to incorporate plant-based sources into food and beverages in place of animal-derived ingredients.

Globally, the proportion of new food and drink product launches claiming to be ""high protein"" increased six percentage points between 2013 and 2015, from 2% to 8%. Consumers actively avoiding meat are most likely to give high priority to ""high protein"" claims when choosing food and drink products. Men are more likely to perceive most types of plant protein more positive for health than women, with the exception of pea protein.
