Regional Insights
The geographical breakdown includes: China, Japan, India, ASEAN, and Rest of Asia-Pacific.
China emerges as the dominant player, holding the largest market share and projected to continue leading through the forecast period. As domestic demand outpaces local production, China increasingly relies on imports to meet requirements.
India stands as the second-largest market in the region, driven by its large population, growing middle class, rising health consciousness, and increasing awareness of soybeans’ high-protein value.
Other markets in ASEAN and the rest of Asia‑Pacific contribute on a smaller scale but collectively form an important part of regional demand dynamics.
Thus, Asia-Pacific remains the epicenter of global soybean demand — both for food consumption and feed applications.
Market Highlights
The surge in health awareness, especially among younger consumers, is a major driver of increased demand for soybeans, on account of reputed health benefits such as improved heart health, cancer risk reduction, and high protein content.
Rising use of soybeans across diverse industries — not just as food but also in animal feed, dietary supplements, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals — is broadening the market base.
The dominance of soy‑meal as the leading product segment underlines how the feed industry fundamentally anchors the soybean market in Asia-Pacific; demand from livestock, aquaculture, and poultry sectors remains strong.
Growth in the organic-source segment signals changing consumer preferences toward healthier and chemical‑free produce — a trend likely to persist with rising disposable incomes and health consciousness in major Asian economies.
