Organic Soymeal Market Showing Prominent Growth In Present Year

 As per Market Research Future (MRFR) analysis, the organic soymeal market size has witnessed increased demand over the last few years and is expected to cross USD 623.31 million by CAGR of 17.98% from 2017 to 2022 (forecast period). High nutritional value of organic soymeal and major protein supplement applications due to high protein content are likely to drive the global organic soymeal market over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

The main drivers that affect demand for organic soybean on the global market are the growth of the organic food and feed industry. Increasing consumer perception of health benefits of organic foods as consumers strive for natural products with less chemicals and additives are key factors driving demand for organic soybean food products.

The demand for organic soya bean is also expected to increase in the feed industry due to the growing demand for organic chicken, as the market for organic soya bean is rising among feed manufacturers. Moreover, the increase of organic and natural food consumption is also on the rise, as health problems such as obesity, diabetes and blood pressure are pushing consumers to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Consumers are also more inclined to eat natural foods containing plant-based proteins, such as soya organic protein-based products. However, one of the big threats facing the organic soymeal market is grain price instability due to climate change. Irregularity in the environment and seasonal fluctuations have an effect on crop production due to crucial and irregular rainfall patterns and thus have a direct influence on organic soybean production.

Segmentation

Increasing awareness of the health benefits of organic food products is likely to have a positive effect on the development of this sector. The use of organic soybean dependent on animal feed is also projected to rise at a high rate during the forecast period.

Based on the end-product, the market is segmented by protein, oil, meal, and others.

Soybean meal is segmented across distribution networks as supermarkets, specialty shops, online stores and convenience stores.
