大豆食品の市場規模、シェア、動向、予測：製品タイプ、カテゴリー、流通チャネル、最終用途、地域別、2025年～2033年

大豆食品の世界市場規模は2024年に514億4,000万米ドルとなりました。今後、IMARC Groupは、2033年には744億4,000万米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年にかけて3.98%のCAGRを示すと予測しています。現在、アジア太平洋地域が市場を独占しています。アジア太平洋地域の大豆食品市場シェアは、大豆の消費量の多さ、植物由来の食生活の伝統の強さ、食品加工産業の拡大、政府の支援、機能的でタンパク質が豊富な食品への需要の高まりによって拡大しています。

消費者は植物性栄養の利点について認識を深めており、大豆ベースの食品の消費量増加につながっています。大豆製品はタンパク質が豊富でコレステロールが低く、心臓の健康とホルモンバランスをサポートするイソフラボンのような有益な化合物を含んでいます。さらに、大豆食品はすべての必須アミノ酸を含む完全なタンパク質を提供するため、植物由来の栄養源として好まれています。さらに、大豆製品は乳糖を含まないため、乳糖不耐症の消費者にも理想的です。コレステロール低下作用があり、心臓の健康増進につながることから、病気の予防と健康全般を重視する消費者の間で人気が高まっています。これに加え、企業は味、食感、栄養プロファイルを改善することにより、大豆ベースの食品を継続的に強化しています。ビタミンとミネラルを添加した強化豆乳、味付け豆腐、高タンパク大豆スナックなどが人気を集めています。米国はこの市場において重要な役割を担っており、強化された食感改良法や風味の改善など、大豆食品加工の進歩に後押しされています。企業は、よりおいしく、遺伝子組み換えでない（GMO）、オーガニックの代替食品を開発するための研究開発に資金を提供しており、健康志向の顧客にアピールしています。さらに、植物性食品の表示に関する明確な規制が消費者の信頼を高め、不確実性を最小限に抑えています。統一されたラベリングは製品の透明性を高め、知識豊富な購買選択を促し、大豆ベースの選択肢の市場での存在感を高めて、小売業界と外食業界の両方での取り込みを後押しします。2025年、米国食品医薬品局（FDA）は、肉、卵、乳製品などの動物由来製品の植物性代替品の表示を明確にするためのガイダンス草案を発表しました。この勧告では、買い物客にとっての明確性と透明性を維持するために、「大豆由来チェダーチーズ」のように、主な植物成分を製品タイトルに組み込むことを提案しています。

大豆食品市場動向：

ベジタリアン人口の増加

世界のベジタリアン人口の増加が大豆ベースの食品の需要を牽引しています。世界動物基金（World Animal Foundation）によると、世界人口の22%がベジタリアンの食生活を実践しており、豆腐、豆乳、大豆ベースの代替肉などの植物性タンパク質源の強力な市場が形成されています。消費者が栄養価が高く、持続可能で倫理的な食品の選択を求める中、大豆製品は、特に動物由来のタンパク質を避ける人々にとって、不可欠なタンパク質の代用品としての役割を果たしています。植物性食生活の人気の高まりはベジタリアンにとどまらず、フレキシタリアンや健康志向の高い人々にも影響を与え、大豆ベースの食品を毎日の食事に取り入れています。ベジタリアンフレンドリーなレストラン、外食チェーン、小売店の拡大が市場の成長をさらに後押ししています。さらに、食品メーカーは味、食感、栄養プロファイルを向上させるために大豆ベースの製品を継続的に革新しており、消費者に広く受け入れられています。植物性栄養食品に対する意識の高まりに伴い、大豆食品製品に対する需要はさまざまな層や地域で伸びています。

豆腐への嗜好の高まり

豆腐の人気の高まりは、大豆食品市場を大いに刺激しています。その主な理由は、外観、色、風味、一貫性が肉に似ているからです。植物性タンパク質の選択肢を探している買い物客は、柔軟で栄養密度の高い代替品として豆腐を選ぶようになっています。IMARC Groupによると、世界の豆腐市場は2024年に29億7,000万米ドルを記録し、2025年から2033年にかけてCAGR 5.08％で拡大する見込みです。フレキシタリアンやビーガン市場の拡大が、特に肉の代用品やタンパク質が豊富な食事における豆腐の使用の増加をもたらしています。食品メーカーは新しい食感や風味を作り出し、主流の購買層に対する豆腐の魅力を高めています。さらに、小売店や飲食店での豆腐の入手しやすさが増していることと、植物ベースのミールキットやRTE（ready-to-eat）商品に豆腐が組み込まれていることが、市場の存在感をさらに高めています。

個別化栄養への需要の高まり

特定の食事ニーズを満たすためのオーダーメイド栄養に対する消費者の関心の高まりが、大豆食品市場の成長を後押ししています。2023年に実施された調査では、80%の人が自分の食事要件を満たす食品を積極的に探していることが明らかになり、前年比3%増となりました。こうした個別化された食事オプションの動向は、高品質のタンパク質、必要なアミノ酸、健康上の利点を提供する大豆製品に対する需要を喚起しています。心臓にやさしく、高タンパクで、乳糖を含まず、低コレステロールの選択肢を求める買い物客は、豆腐、豆乳、分離大豆タンパクのような大豆製品を選んでいます。生産者は、大豆製品にカルシウム、ビタミン、プロバイオティクスなどの栄養素を加え、特定の食事ニーズを満たすよう対応しています。機能性食品に対する認識の高まりと、さまざまな栄養学的目標を満たすことを目的とした大豆由来のアイテムの種類の増加が、複数の人口層にわたる市場拡大の原動力となっています。

The global soy food market size was valued at USD 51.44 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 74.44 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.98% from 2025-2033. Asia Pacific currently dominates the market. The soy food market share in the Asia Pacific region is growing due to high soy consumption, strong plant-based dietary traditions, expanding food processing industries, government support, and increasing demand for functional and protein-rich foods.

Consumers are becoming more aware about the advantages of plant-based nutrition, leading to higher consumption of soy-based foods. Soy products are rich in protein, low in cholesterol, and contain beneficial compounds like isoflavones, which support heart health and hormonal balance. Moreover, soy foods offer complete protein with all essential amino acids, making them a preferred source of plant-based nutrition. Additionally, soy products are lactose-free, making them ideal for consumers with lactose intolerance. Their cholesterol-lowering properties and association with improved heart health further contribute to their growing popularity among individuals focusing on disease prevention and overall well-being. Besides this, companies are continuously enhancing soy-based foods by improving taste, texture, and nutritional profiles. Fortified soy milk with added vitamins and minerals, flavored tofu, and high-protein soy snacks are gaining traction. The United States plays a vital role in the market, propelled by advancements in soy food processing, including enhanced texturization methods and flavor improvements. Businesses are funding research to develop tastier, non-genetically modified organism (GMO), and organic soy food alternatives, appealing to health-focused customers. Moreover, clear regulations on labeling plant-based foods are boosting consumer confidence and minimizing uncertainty. Uniform labeling enhances product clarity, promotes knowledgeable buying choices, and bolsters market presence for soy-based options, boosting uptake in both retail and foodservice industries. In 2025, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued draft guidance to clarify labels for plant-based substitutes for animal-derived products like meat, eggs, and dairy. The recommendation suggests incorporating the main plant ingredient in product titles, like "soy-derived cheddar cheese," to maintain clarity and transparency for shoppers.

Soy Food Market Trends:

Rising Vegetarian Population

The growing global vegetarian population is driving the demand for soy-based foods. According to the World Animal Foundation, 22% of the world's population follows vegetarian diets, creating a strong market for plant-based protein sources like tofu, soy milk, and soy-based meat alternatives. As consumers seek nutritious, sustainable, and ethical food choices, soy products serve as essential protein substitutes, particularly for those avoiding animal-derived proteins. The increasing popularity of plant-based diets extends beyond vegetarians, influencing flexitarians and health-conscious individuals who are integrating soy-based foods into their daily meals. The expansion of vegetarian-friendly restaurants, foodservice chains, and retail offerings further supports the market growth. Additionally, food manufacturers are continuously innovating soy-based products to enhance taste, texture, and nutritional profiles, ensuring wider consumer acceptance. With rising awareness about plant-based nutrition, the demand for soy food products is witnessing growth across various demographics and regions.

Growing Preference for Tofu

The increasing popularity of tofu significantly fuels the soy food market, primarily because of its similarity to meat in appearance, color, flavor, and consistency. Shoppers looking for plant-based protein options are progressively choosing tofu as a flexible and nutrient-dense replacement. The IMARC Group states that the worldwide tofu market hit USD 2.97 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.08% from 2025 to 2033. The growing flexitarian and vegan market is leading to an increase in tofu use, especially in meat substitutes and protein-rich diets. Food producers are creating new textures and flavors, enhancing the appeal of tofu to mainstream buyers. Moreover, the increasing accessibility of tofu in retail stores and dining establishments, coupled with its incorporation in plant-based meal kits and ready-to-eat (RTE) items, is further enhancing its market presence.

Increasing Demand for Personalized Nutrition

The rising consumer interest in tailored nutrition to meet specific dietary needs is propelling the soy food market growth. A survey conducted in 2023 revealed that 80% of people actively look for foods that meet their dietary requirements, showing a 3% rise from the year before. This trend of personalized diet options is catalyzing the demand for soy products, which provide high-quality protein, necessary amino acids, and health advantages. Shoppers seeking options that are heart-healthy, high in protein, lactose-free, or low in cholesterol are opting for soy products like tofu, soy milk, and soy protein isolates. Producers are reacting by enhancing soy products with extra nutrients like calcium, vitamins, and probiotics to meet particular dietary needs. The increasing recognition of functional foods, along with the growing variety of soy-derived items aimed at fulfilling different nutritional objectives, is driving the market expansion across multiple demographics.
