The RTD segment is anticipated to register the fastest growth in terms of revenue from 2020 to 2027. Ready to drink protein supplements are pre-formulated drinks that are easily available. These drinks offer a high dose of protein that can be consumed pre-workout, post-workout, or on the go.

Online store segment held around 59.4% of the overall market share in 2019. The increasing number of internet users, ease of access, 24/7 availability, and lots of options to choose from are the factors driving online sales. Moreover, discussion portals, discounts and offers on products, and implementation of various promotion strategies will fuel online sales over the forecast period.

Trust of consumers plays a crucial role in determining the demand for a specific product, wherein the customer orders are largely reckoned through websites such as Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, wherein these e-commerce platforms focus on having brand follow-ups on a regular basis.
The animal-based segment held around 67.8% of the overall market share in terms of revenue in 2019. It consists of meat and dairy proteins including whey, casein, egg, beef, poultry, and fish.

Hence, the segment is anticipated to drive the growth of the overall market during the forecast period.
The plant-based product segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period, owing to the growing popularity among vegans, vegetarians, and people allergic to dairy and egg proteins.

Among these sources, soy and pea were some of the dominant segments. However, plant-based products are not considered to be complete sources, owing to the lack of one or more essential amino acids. So various plant-based products are often blended together to account for all the essential nutrients.
