SSW 2018


Illustrating the rapid rise in interest of natural products, the plant-based market is on track to reach $5.2 billion by 2020, having increased by a staggering 20% in 2017 compared to a 2% growth for all foods.1 “Plant-based” is now a buzzword that transcends formerly narrow market segments, reaching a growing consortium of consumers who are concerned about their health, their weight, their mental and physical stamina, and the environment. Among all the rising stars of the natural products industry, one category stands out - introduction of plant-based protein products grew twice as fast as products with animal protein in 2014. With US sales of over $553 million in 2012, plant-based proteins are leading the pack as a fast, effective and increasingly delicious way for consumers to incorporate peak nutrition into their diet.2

Plant-based protein powders

At NP Nutra®, we’ve long believed that high quality, responsibly sourced, organic plant-based protein powders are the backbone of our product line. That’s why we’ve put so much time and energy into making sure we remain at the forefront of the industry, discovering new sources of plant proteins and formulating our own unique signature blends. This year, we’re proud to share with you a growing line of delicious and nutritious plant-based protein powders, which include:


In addition, we’re excited to introduce a range of new plant-based powders with applications in functional foods and beverages as well as cosmetics, dietary supplements, sports nutrition and pet foods:
