COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The Coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on production across the globe, with many countries shutting down production. This has reduced output, manufacturing, and transport of goods in these major economies. But unlike other industries, food and beverage and pharmaceutical companies have seen minimal effects to date. Most of the markets for dietary supplements are concentrated in North America and European countries. This has led to the growing demand for immune-boosting supplements in various channels, such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, food stores, and pharmacies.
Global Protein Supplement Market Dynamics
The factors driving the growth of the global protein supplements market include the rising number of health and fitness centers along with consumer health consciousness. Advancement in protein-based supplements in various forms, growing popularity among millennial, and multiple health benefits offered by protein supplements further drives the growth.
Drivers
⮚    Increasing Availability of Protein Supplements
The growing availability of protein supplements in retail stores is a significant factor driving the growth of the protein supplement market. Earlier, protein supplements were available only at a few select outlets, which include fitness stores, drug stores, and specific retail outlets. The consistently increasing customer base has prompted retail stores such as hypermarkets and supermarkets to stock protein supplements abundantly, thereby increasing sales. In addition to this, the easy availability of protein supplements online has also contributed to the growth of the protein supplements market considerably. The growing demand for protein supplements is due to increasing health awareness and changing demographic factors surging the youth population in countries such as the US, China, India, and Indonesia, among many others. Due to this factor, manufacturers have reinvented sports nutrition by fortifying their products with ingredients, which facilitate good health, fitness, and overall wellness. Therefore, the easy availability of protein supplements is a major factor responsible for driving the growth of the protein supplements market.
Restraint:
- Increasing Raw Material Prices are Threatening the Ability of Manufacturing Operations
Due to the volatility of prices of raw materials such as soybean and milk because of supply and demand constraints, there is a projected increase in protein supplement prices. Milk is a major resource for whey and casein proteins. Milk can be compared to crude oil as it goes into refineries and ends up as various goods traded around the world. Milk prices are expected to explode or plunge depending on political and economic factors. Furthermore, milk supply is subject to seasonal patterns – its production is higher during the spring because of cows’ calving habits. Consumers also follow a seasonal pattern in terms of their consumption, with the demand for fluid milk typically peaking in the fall when children return to school. However, political events can have a significant effect on prices, so it’s difficult to predict the volatility of fluid milk prices

Thus, the numerous health benefits drive the growth of the protein supplements market.
