Europe Alternative Protein Market Size and YoY Growth (2025–2032)

The Europe Alternative Protein market was recorded at USD 5.99 Billion in 2025, driven by strong consumer interest in plant-based meat, dairy substitutes, and clean-label protein sources across Western and Northern Europe. In 2026, the market is estimated to reach USD 6.50 billion as food manufacturers expand their alternative protein portfolios and retailers increase shelf space for sustainable protein products, supporting higher sales volumes.
From 2027 onward, the European Alternative Protein market is projected to reach USD 7.07 billion and continue rising steadily through the forecast period, reaching USD 11.39 billion by 2032. This sustained growth is supported by rising investments in fermentation-based proteins, continuous product innovation, and growing acceptance of alternative protein products in mainstream diets, helping Europe strengthen its position as a major hub for sustainable food production.
