The global Food-waste Derived Proteins Market size was valued at USD 186.40 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 290.43 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period.
The market growth is primarily driven by increasing awareness of sustainable food practices and the growing emphasis on reducing food waste, which is encouraging the extraction of proteins from food by-products.
Moreover, rising demand from the food, beverage, and animal feed industries for cost-effective, high-nutrient protein sources is positioning food-waste derived proteins as a preferred alternative to conventional protein sources. These converging factors are accelerating market adoption, thereby significantly propelling the industry’s growth.
