Market Growth Factors
Health-conscious consumers along with a healthy diet are the factors leading the Brazil whey protein market. The Pan American Health Organization published the report on 13 October 2024 and stated that 63% of people aged 15 and older in Brazil were overweight or obese in 2022 and therefore demanded more nutritional supplements like whey protein in the country. Public health expenditure also highlights that people's health is important. In 2021, public health expenditure was 4.5% of GDP (Gross domestic product) and 10.94% of total public expenditure in the country. The rise in gym culture and sporting activities continues to support the whey protein market.

In Brazil, growth in disposable income has led to higher demand for health and wellness products purchased by consumers, including protein supplements and high-priced proteins, increased opportunities to purchase whey protein from different sales channels, including e-commerce, and increases in consumer interest in fitness and heath products fueled by social media. In addition, advancements in flavoring and formulation have made whey protein products more palatable and versatile, supporting the growth of the market.

Novel processing techniques such as ultrasound, high-pressure processing and pulsed electric fields improved functional properties such as solubility, emulsification and gelation of whey protein, which provide an added value for the quality and health benefits of food products and opens new product development opportunities in the food product and nutritional supplement industry. Consumers demanding ethically sourced and organic whey protein, a growing sustainable production practice, are fostering loyalty towards whey protein brands and increasing the market in Brazil.
