Global Potato Protein Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Potato Protein market size is expected to reach $ 175 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Potato protein is recovered as a coproduct of potato‐starch processing from potato fruit juice and is valued for its foaming, emulsifying and gelling functionalities in food systems as well as for its high digestibility and amino acid profile in animal nutrition. Leading European suppliers highlight these properties in their portfolios: Avebe’s Solanic® line emphasizes superior emulsifying, foaming and gelling with a clean-label positioning, while Emsland’s Empet® range targets pet food and feed with high lysine and methionine content and excellent digestibility. AGRANA explicitly positions potato protein from its Gmünd starch mill as a high-value feed protein, and KMC is commercializing textured/structured potato protein for plant-based meat applications—an example of value-added forms that remain within the product’s “protein body” scope rather than hydrolysates.
In the current market, global production is around 35,295 MT, with an average selling price of about 3,425 USD per MT EXW basis. Supply is moderately concentrated around integrated starch–protein players in the EU. Based on public disclosures of capacities, product mix and market footprints, the Top 5 suppliers control approximately 43–61% of global revenue, and the Top 10 about 72–86% (value shares). The structure favors incumbents that operate large starch campaigns and continuous protein recovery, with process know-how and multi-year customer validations acting as barriers. Illustratively, Avebe announced a substantial expansion of Solanic® potato-protein production in 2021 to serve growing demand in higher-value food applications, while cooperatives such as AKV Langholt disclose steady annual protein outputs (~4,000 t), anchoring the feed side. Textured/structured innovations (e.g., KMC) add incremental value density on the food side but still map to the protein body defined in this study (not hydrolysates).
Demand is bifurcated between food ingredients and animal nutrition. In Europe, pet-food production remains substantial—≈9.9 million tonnes in 2023 per FEDIAF—supporting sustained consumption of potato protein in pet and livestock formulas; North America is another major sink driven by pet-food spend and premiumization. In the Asia–Pacific, the fastest growth vector is aquaculture: FAO’s 2024 SOFIA reports aquaculture output hitting new records with Asia harvesting 83.4 million tonnes of farmed aquatic animals in 2022; this underpins rising experimentation with alternative proteins in aquafeed, where potato protein serves as a partial fish-meal substitute in selected species and life stages. Looking to 2025–2031, we expect (i) incremental supply from EU incumbents and potential process upgrades; (ii) mix shift toward food-grade and textured forms that sustain higher ASPs; and (iii) continued animal-nutrition pull in Europe and North America with Asia’s aquaculture strengthening the long-tail. Key bottlenecks include raw-material seasonality tied to starch campaigns, certification and validation lead-times for food customers, and regional logistics that make EXW-to-delivered price spreads material.
