According to our projections, the worldwide demand for insect feeds can be pegged at roughly US$ 1,561 million for 2023. Furthermore, the sales of insect feeds are projected to rise globally at a pace of 17.9% per year from 2023 to 2033. Ultimately, the global insect feed market’s net value will reach almost US$ 8,124 million by 2033.
As many animals ingest the insects naturally, it makes sense to think about using insect proteins as a potential source of commercial feed additionally, because insects include bioactive components, they are increasingly being used as innovative feed additions to promote the gut health of pet animals.
Sales of animal feed additives are also expected to be constrained by the strict laws and regulations related to introducing new insect feed. For example, the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy problem poses a crucial threat to consumer health and safety, impacting the overall approach of using insects as feed in Europe. Another main roadblock to adopting insects as feed in many places is the lack of clear laws and standards governing their usage as food.
“Prominent industries producing animal feed have started investing in research to produce cutting-edge insect feed products to expand consumer base in the international market. Besides, some insect feed suppliers are working with other producers to include their goods in preparation of the final product for livestock.” – Nandini Roy Choudhury (Client Partner for Food & Beverages at Future Market Insights, Inc.).
