The price hike is especially pronounced in import-dependent markets like India and China, prompting innovation and domestic production efforts, though challenges remain with local sourcing and quality. Alternative proteins are gaining traction as they are more affordable and brands prioritize transparency, but whey protein remains unmatched in recovery benefits and nutritional value.]]></description>
