Lactose intolerance is characterized by a reduced capacity to digest lactose, a sugar present in milk and other dairy products. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), lactose intolerance affects around 65% of the adult human population. Lactose intolerance causes bloating, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, prompting many to seek lactose-free dairy alternatives in the market. The increased concern about lactose intolerance in adults drives the market demand for vegan protein powder products. The competition in the vegan protein powder market is intense, therefore, market players are focusing on strong branding and improved advertisements to attract consumers’ interest. Branding and advertisements play a vital role to gain consumer cognizance regarding the products. As a result, players are venturing into lucrative marketing campaigns to attract consumers. For instance, in January 2020, Premier Protein, a supplement company, announced the launch of a creative advertisement campaign with the tagline Too Good to be Good to be advertised on television, YouTube, and other social media sites.
The campaign was created to attract consumers and present a perspective that vegan proteins are unique. Thus, the use of social media, strong branding, and advertisement tactics help in increasing popularity and the sale of products, which, in turn, notably contribute to the growth of the global vegan protein powder market. Advancements in science and technology have helped to bring out solutions to different problems. In recent times, the global population is concerned about maintaining proper health conditions; therefore, the need for weight management and calorie management in individuals has increased. Vegan protein products are suitable substitute for a complete meal of an individual, and these products assist in managing calorie portions and fulfill the protein requirement. However, vegan protein products incur a high manufacturing cost due to the involvement of additional manufacturing processes, usage of advanced technology, and high-class raw materials to improve the nutritional value of the product. High manufacturing costs further force manufacturers to reflect a higher sales price of vegan protein powder. Consumers in developed economies have moved to protein products to improve their overall health due to rise in health concerns and changing lifestyles. On the contrary, in developing economies, consumers are price-sensitive; hence, the chance of opting for high-priced vegan protein products is low. Thus, the decline in sales of vegan protein powders in developing and weaker economic countries hinders the growth of the vegan protein powder market.
