Oryzenin Market

Global Oryzenin Market Size

The global oryzenin market was valued at USD 178.46 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 204.16 million in 2025 from USD 598.93 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 14.4% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033. 

Though rice is essentially a high-calorie food, it also has a protein content of about 7%. Oryzenin, a type of glutelin, is the major protein present in rice grains. Rice protein has a higher nutritional value than that of other cereals, such as wheat and maize. Glutenin found in rice proteins does not trigger celiac disease, unlike that of glutelins found in wheat or barley. This is because the glutelin present in rice is low molecular weight glutelin, whereas high molecular weight glutelin might trigger celiac disease. They exist as macromolecular complexes and are hydrophobic. They are soluble in acid and alkaline solutions and are processed into polypeptides to be stored in vacuolar compartments of the cells.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

With the increase in demand for rice protein in the market, oryzenin has become an essential ingredient in the food and beverage industries due to its high protein content and gelling properties. Texturing and emulsifying properties of oryzenin are also one of the major reasons for increasing the demand for rice protein. Increasing health awareness among consumers, increasing R&D activities, and increasing demand for sources of protein that are lactose and gluten-free are driving the oryzenin market. However, stringent government regulations and the availability of alternative protein sources are restraining market growth.
