FUNCTIONAL PROTEINS I Report I February 2022
Increased nutritional and environmental awareness among consumers is boosting demand for alternative and plant-based protein sources and driving market innovation.
Supplying the world's growing population with high-quality, protein-rich foods is rapidly emerging as a global challenge that can only be met through constant innovation.
The human body consists of about 20% protein, which is essential for all cellular activities and thus involved in all basic bodily functions. Proteins are primarily derived from animal sources, but plant-based and other innovative protein sources are also experiencing steadily increasing growth. This trend is not surprising given the constant increase in the world's population. To continue to meet humanity's protein needs and avoid food shortages, the market relies on tremendous innovation from the food industry. On the M&A market, the demand for innovative and often internationally oriented target companies from the sector remains high, which is why the valuation multiples achieved in the past generally correlated with the target’s degree of innovation.
