Protein ingredients are protein-rich materials used as ingredients in food, beverages, and feed products such as dietary supplements, sports nutrition products, bakery products, dairy products, ready meals, infant formula, and desserts. They are rich in nutrients with the correct amount of amino acids and they provide essential nutrients to humans and animals. They are also used for combatting nutritional deficiencies and to tackle problems such as cardiovascular diseases, weight management, and many other problems. Protein ingredients can be both animal-based (derived from products produced by animals) such as egg, whey, and casein, and plant-based (derived from plants) such as soy, wheat, and pea.

Bancassurance is a well-known distribution channel for insurance products.

With the growing success of the model, there are many new entrants in the market, which is intensifying the competition and encouraging the insurance companies to innovate and customize products for each of the client segments of banks.
