Bread and Rolls Lead the Way
Bread and rolls remain the backbone of bakery consumption in the CIS, and they are also leading the way in protein enrichment. By 2025, fortified breads and rolls are expected to contribute 71% of total demand, thanks to their familiarity, extended shelf stability, and seamless integration of pea protein isolates. These isolates, with their 80–90% protein content and neutral taste, are forecast to dominate the product landscape, capturing 50% of the market share in 2025.
While isolates take center stage, pea protein concentrates and textured formats are carving out niches in cost-sensitive and specialty bakery applications. Innovations in these formulations are expected to gain momentum, particularly as bakeries experiment with blends that optimize amino acid profiles and texture performance.
Supermarkets and Hypermarkets Remain Key Channels
On the distribution side, supermarkets and hypermarkets will continue to dominate with 48% of total sales in 2025. The widespread retail reach, coupled with the inclusion of fortified bakery products in mainstream assortments, makes them the preferred channel for urban families and fitness-oriented millennials.
However, the landscape is evolving rapidly. E-commerce platforms are becoming increasingly important for direct-to-consumer sales, while bakery specialty stores are drawing in health-focused shoppers with premium, protein-enriched offerings. Convenience stores are also expanding their share, reflecting the rise of grab-and-go lifestyles in urban centers.
Regional Dynamics: Kazakhstan and Ukraine Outpace Growth
Growth will not be uniform across the CIS. Kazakhstan and Ukraine are projected to be the fastest-growing markets, recording CAGRs of 8.4% and 8.0%, respectively, as modern retail expands and health awareness accelerates. Russia, already a mature market, will continue steady growth at 7.0% CAGR, while Belarus and Uzbekistan trail slightly behind with 6.8% and 6.7% growth rates.
By 2035, per capita pea protein bakery fortification consumption across leading CIS countries is expected to rise from 0.8–1.1 kilograms in 2025 to 1.4 kilograms, signaling broad consumer acceptance.
Shifting Consumer Profiles
The market is increasingly shaped by four consumer groups:
- Health-conscious urban families, driving mainstream adoption of fortified breads during regular grocery runs.
- Fitness-oriented millennials, seeking protein-rich options for active lifestyles.
- Elderly consumers, prioritizing digestible protein for wellness and age-related nutrition.
- Dietary restriction managers, including vegetarians and lactose-intolerant consumers, turning to pea protein as a reliable plant-based alternative.

Outlook: Innovation and Affordability to Drive Expansion
As the cost of pea protein fortification declines—falling from a 28% price premium in 2020 to 19% in 2025—affordability is no longer a major barrier. This shift, combined with expanding supply partnerships and improved processing technologies, is expected to make fortified bakery products accessible to a broader consumer base, especially mid-income households.
Looking ahead, innovation will be key. From blended protein formulations to functional bakery applications and digital-first distribution strategies, both established manufacturers and new entrants are positioning themselves to capitalize on the growing appetite for protein-enriched baked goods in the CIS.
