Globally, consumers are growing more aware of food nutrition and achieving better health management, especially paying more attention to vitamins, minerals, proteins, and probiotics which are fundamental, as well as low-calorie, low-sugar, and high-protein solutions to improve intestinal, sleep, psychology health as well as sports nutrition.
The protein sources for most of the population in the Asia-Pacific region are mainly eggs, lean meat, and fish, as well as yogurt, protein ready-to-drink beverages, protein bars, and protein powders. Australia has the world’s largest market for high-protein yogurt reaching 47 million USD in scale, South Korea has 63 percent of the protein bar market share amounting to 7.2 million USD, while Thailand’s market for read-to-drink protein beverages and protein snacks totals 4 million USD.
Yeast proteins can meet the growing consumer demand for health foods with high nutritional values and excellent functionality, and Angel Yeast is committed to leading the development of a healthy and sustainable food industry.
