Insect Protein Market – Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increasing demand for sustainable protein sources is a major factor that drives the growth of the global insect protein market.
- The demand for alternative protein sources, such as insect proteins, is increasing. In addition, the environmental awareness of the impacts of conventional animal husbandry is growing globally.
- Furthermore, along with deforestation, livestock farming is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. This is because it consumes large amounts of land, water, feed, and other abundant resources.
- Cricket farming produces 2,000 times less water and emits 100 times less greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to beef production. Resultantly, insect farming tends to be more environmentally friendly.
- For instance, in comparison to conventional livestock like cows or pigs, insects such as crickets, which are frequently used to produce protein, require significantly less land, water, and feed.
- Hence, such factors drive the market growth of insect protein during the forecast period.
Challenges
- Inconsistency in government regulations related to insect proteins is a major challenge hindering the growth of the global insect protein market.
- The harvesting and processing of insects for human consumption or animal feed are restricted or prohibited in certain regions, which limits market expansion.
- For instance, in Europe, the New Food Regulation, which has a long and complicated approval process, requires approval before insects can be used as food or feed.
- Furthermore, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides limited information on insect consumption in food and feed, creating a situation of skepticism among insect protein manufacturers.
- Hence, such challenges impede market growth during the forecast period.
