From 2023 to 2033, the insect protein market (Marché des protéines d’insectes) is projected to accelerate at a CAGR of 17.7% from its 2023 value of US$ 602.3 million. By 2033, there is going to be US$ 3.1 billion global market.

Over the projected period, the demand for insect protein is anticipated to increase due to rising consumer awareness of the consumption of nutrient-dense food products and rising customer preference for a healthy lifestyle.

Thriving Applications and High Protein Content in Insects Insect Protein Need is Increasing

The demand for wholesome food products has grown as a result of rising health consciousness among customers throughout the world. As a result, manufacturers in a variety of industries now have the opportunity to sell such food items.

Consumers today place a premium on natural products and pay attention to the components in their food as well as how it is produced and where it comes from. Some of the main factors anticipated to boost insect protein market expansion throughout the projected period include rising expenditure on functional food products, an increase in the number of sports and gym enthusiasts, and consumers searching for healthy and sustainable food options.

High Costs Limit Market Expansion

Due to its functional, environmental, and nutritional advantages, insect protein is one of the distinctive and innovative animal feed proteins. High costs, regulations, and constrained production capacity continue to be the key barriers to progress of the insect protein market.

The equipment and processes needed to create insect-based proteins need to be optimised for large-scale manufacturing because they are currently expensive. Although many consumers are priced out of this market, few consumers are willing to pay higher rates for the health and environmental advantages of protein derived from insects.

Regional Outlook

Developing Product Demand for Human Consumption May Cause Europe to Exhibit a Strong Growth.

The lion’s share of the revenue came from the European continent. For uses in the food and beverage sector, animal nutrition, and personal care, insect protein is more widely accepted by consumers in the European insect protein market.

Demand is anticipated to increase in the European market as a result of the recent approval of insect protein for feed, especially that for pigs and poultry. The market is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period due to the high demand for insect protein from industrialised nations like France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

The revenue was largely from North America. The market is projected to be a significant market because consumers are becoming more conscious of the use of insect-based products and have a greater need for food products that are nutrient-dense.

Due to Mexico and Canada’s substantial growth potential for new companies and product launches, the insect protein market is likely to grow throughout the projected period.
