Market Analysis Report 2025–26
Global B2B Intelligence · Plant-Based Protein · India Export
Executive Summary
The global Moong (Mung Bean) Protein Isolate market has entered a transformative period in 2025. Valued at $665.5 million in 2025, it is projected to grow to $2,500 million by 2035, maintaining a robust CAGR of 14.2%. This growth is primarily driven by the “Clean-Label” movement and the protein’s unique functional role as the primary ingredient in plant-based egg and meat alternatives.
Strategic Market Insights (2025–26)
India’s Export Surge
India has successfully transitioned from a self-sufficient producer to a key global exporter. In 2025, production reached a record 3.8 million tons — a 20% YoY increase — providing a stable raw material cushion for global isolate manufacturers.
The “Egg” Gold Standard
Moong isolate’s high gelation and emulsification properties make it the “industry gold standard” for vegan liquid eggs (like those from Eat Just), outperforming pea and soy in texture and flavor.
Hypoallergenic Appeal
As consumers move away from soy (a major allergen) and gluten, Moong isolate is being marketed as the “stomach-friendly” protein for the digestive-health-conscious global population.
