2025 Protein Price Increase

At VPA, we are dedicated to providing Australians the highest quality protein powders at the most competitive prices. However, recent global events, including the devastating Californian floods and wildfires, have significantly impacted the global dairy market driving up the cost of key ingredients, particularly whey protein, which is expected to increase by approximately $20 per kilogram in July 2025.

However, to be transparent with our valued customers who have been with us for nearly a decade, we are providing this advance notice of potential price adjustments four months in advance. 

VPA’s Plan of Attack

At VPA, we will absorb 50% of this price cost by reducing our margins by $12 a kilo. However, a temporary price increase of $8 a kilo will be experienced for all VPA customers in July, August, and/or September 2025. This is inevitable as unfortunately, absorbing these increased costs within our current profit margins is not feasible, and this challenge will likely be faced by all protein suppliers in the Australian market.

We understand that this price adjustment may be inconvenient, and we want to assure you that it is a temporary measure.We are actively exploring alternative sourcing options and implementing cost-saving measures to mitigate the impact of these rising costs and return to our previous pricing structure as soon as possible.

Will the price increase affect all products?

This price increase will only affect products that contain whey protein. Therefore, all other products such as amino acids and the likes will remain unaffected.

What standards does VPA adhere to that other smaller providers don't need to?

We are an export registered "Department of Agriculture and Fisheries" (DAFF) facility. This is the highest accreditation of dairy in Australia. Our environmental (swab, surface, water, compressed air testing) and product testing requirements (multiple pathogens) is far higher than an ordinary HACCP approved facility (where most protein powders are blended in Australia). If you’ve found a cheaper price of product, ask them if they (not their co-packers) are an export registered dairy provider. Inevitably the answer will be “No”.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When will price increase take effect?

Over the past 12 months, VPA has seen price increases of approximately $10 per kilo due to global supply shortages. Additionally, the recent wildfires have driven prices up by another $20 per kilo. This means the current raw material cost of around $50 per kilo is unlikely to be sustainable in the long term.

How is VPA able to absorb price increases?

Thanks to our large scale and strong purchasing power parity, we can secure bulk contracts, such as 40-foot containers of protein, rather than buying at fluctuating spot rates. Additionally, our fully vertically integrated business model enables us to absorb a significant portion of these cost increases.

Will these price increases affect all VPA products?

The price increases will primarily affect products that contain whey protein. A full list of affected products can be seen below:

  • WPI
  • WPC
  • Muscle gainer
  • Breakfast shake
  • Lean shake
  • Tri -protein
  • Protein water
  • Casein
  • Protein pancake mix
  • Protein Mousse
  • Protein Ball Mix
  • Hot Protein

Will VPA be offering any special discounts or promotions to help customers during this time?

We understand the challenges these price increases present. We are currently evaluating options to support our loyal customers during this period and will announce any special offers or promotions on our website and through our email and social media channels.
