The market for whey protein components in Europe was greatly disrupted by the COVID-19 epidemic, which changed supply chains and consumption habits. Initially, whey protein was less readily available due to delays in dairy production and logistics, which had an impact on both producers and consumers. Protein-rich goods were in higher demand during the pandemic as people's health and well-being became more important, especially in the sports nutrition and dietary supplement sectors. Brands quickly created new formulations to satisfy shifting consumer demands as a result of this shift, which encouraged innovation.
