Our analysis shows that Animal protein/Dairy protein facilitates the recovery of cells that are damaged and supports the overall body development. The widening range of application and increasing recognition of the health value of dairy protein in emerging markets offer manufacturers good growth opportunities. These are likely to increase animal protein market demand and drive the whole animal protein industry's expansion. Vegans, however, will shun dairy protein due to it being an animal source. Consequently, the demand for plant protein among the vegan population will surge at a high pace. This will negatively affect the animal protein business. Additionally, the fluctuating raw material costs of dairy protein will be a major setback for the top players in the animal protein market. These constraints can restrict market growth in the next few years to some extent.
