Protein supplements are an external source of protein consumption and are gaining increasing acceptance amongst consumers of all age groups and gender owing to the benefits associated with regular and appropriate consumption of supplements. In today's modern age, where there is a growing prevalence of fast food consumption along with increasing intake of packaged food that is not considered as healthy as natural food items, sufficient and clean protein intake has decreased drastically in regular diet forms across cultures. It is one of the main reasons why healthcare professionals recommend people incorporate some form of protein in their meals throughout the day. However, natural sources may not be sufficient for the quantity of protein the body requires. In such cases, protein supplements are the preferred choice. Some of the main benefits associated with the consumption of appropriate amounts of proteins involve weight management. A report published in 2017, reported that consumption of whey protein could result in lowered total fat mass and body weight for people who are obese. It is considered one of the main resources for the body to recover post-exercise as it protects muscle from damage and its fast recovery.

Covid-19 impacted the global market cap during 2020 and the beginning of 2021. This was majorly driven by the issues concerning the transportation of protein supplements and their restricted availability. Since various sports units like gymnasiums, swimming centers, and recreational centers were closed for operation, many people switched to more natural sources for limited quantities of protein required when not working out intensively.
The global protein supplement market is projected to garner high revenue owing to the increasing trend of health-conscious people who visit recreational and gym centers regularly. People who undergo intensive physical training are required to increase their protein intake as compared to people who do not indulge in heavy workouts. Sufficient protein consumption prevents muscle damage while also aiding the building of strengthened muscles. Whey proteins are known to show fat-loss results when consumed in appropriate amounts and coupled with a regular physical workout. These factors greatly propel the global market cap size. The growing number of players in the market that are undertaking exhaustive marketing and advertising activities to reach a greater consumer segment may also lead to an increase in revenue in the next few years. Physicians and doctors recommend patients with external protein supplements to help patients maintain their vitals & body weight, and provide them with sufficient energy. Protein powders are known to prevent the occurrence of type-2 diabetes since it makes the consumer feel full for a longer time. All these factors combined are expected to deliver optimum results for the global market.
The health risks associated with the over-consumption of supplements may restrict the global market expansion while the increasing number of players is projected to provide excellent growth in consumers. Nonetheless, the prevalence of counterfeit products may challenge the global market growth trend.
