Tofu is one of the world’s most concentrated source of high-quality vegetable protein. Tofu, also called bean curd, has gained popularity over the years especially as a vegetarian- and vegan-approved source of protein. It is a soft, cheese-like food, made out of Soya milk that is curdled with a coagulant and generally used to blend with other food types because it easily absorbs their flavor. It has a subtle flavor and can be used in sweet and salty dishes. Tofu is a naturally gluten-free and low-calorie food which contains no cholesterol. As per the research findings, the growing awareness among consumers about the health benefits of such nutrients has led to the increasing growth of the soy protein ingredients market.

Moreover, the report segments the market on the basis of product type, which covers processed and unprocessed tofu market. Amongst, processed tofu segment is expected to dominate the market in the coming years. Also, in terms of geography APAC region is the major revenue contributor, mainly due to the increasing demand for nutritional diet and the rising disposable income in this region.
