The oryzenin market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.5%, to reach a value of USD 198.25 million by 2022 from an estimated USD 88.19 million in 2016. Oryzenin, a rice glutelin, is an important constituent of rice protein. Glutelin comprises the major protein fraction of the rice grain and constitutes up to 80% of the total protein. The global market is estimated at USD 88.2 million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 198.2 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. The primary factors that drive the oryzenin market are the functional properties of rice protein and growth in the consumption of plant protein.

On the basis of application, the oryzenin market was led by sports & energy nutrition, followed by beverages, in 2015. Sports & energy nutrition was the leading segment, owing to the increase in the consumption of sports & energy drinks due to the trend of healthy living among consumers. The application of oryzenin in sports & energy nutrition is attributed to its high amino acid profile and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are essential for athletes and bodybuilders for muscle recovery. Oryzenin increased lean body mass skeletal muscle hypertrophy, power, and strength similar to whey protein. This segment has potential for growth in the near future, with increasing application of oryzenin as a nutrition enhancer in food products.

On the basis of form, the dry segment accounted for a larger market share in 2015. The dry form dominated the oryzenin market as it is easy to handle and can be transported easily with lower expenses, which has increased the demand for dry oryzenin powder. In addition, the liquid form needs further processing to be extracted from the dry form, thus increasing the investment.

The North American region accounted for the major market share for oryzenin between 2016 and 2022. The rise in demand for processed food & beverage products and various nutraceutical products in the North American region is driving the oryzenin market, as it provides all the essential amino acids. The increase in the application of plant-based proteins in nutraceuticals, food & beverages, and health supplements is projected to fuel the market growth for oryzenin in the next few years.
