Insect Protein Industry 2019 Global Market Size, Share, Emerging Trends, Sales Revenue, Key Players Analysis, Opportunity Assessment and Regional Forecast to 2023

Market Scenario:

The Global Insect Protein Market is expected to reach an approximate CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period. The ever-rising population eventually leading to decrease in agricultural lands is likely to drive the market. According to the United Nations in 2017, the world population was 7.6 billion and is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. Moreover, in 2015, the U.S. Census Bureau projected that the U.S. population would reach 417 million by 2060 that is a 38% increase as compared to 2007. The trend of protein-rich diet, the high cost of animal and plant-based proteins, and health awareness are other important factors influencing the growth of the market. For instance, house crickets contain 205 g/kg of protein on an average, whereas beef contains 256 g/kg. Similarly, mealworms contain unsaturated omega-3 and six fatty acids as much as fish and pork. With these benefits of insect proteins, the market is projected to grow rapidly.

China is followed by India with an estimated population of 1,285,800,000 and accounts for 29.36% of the continent's population. With the growth in population, the need for healthy food alternatives is also growing. Moreover, insect harvesting, gathering, and processing is an important occupation in some countries of Asia. This drives the growth of the market in this region.

Europe is expected to be the second largest region in the global insect protein market. The EU regulation 2017, granted permission to use insect proteins as fish feed, thus offering a milestone for the European insect production sector. The increased production of insect feed in Europe for the aquaculture sector drives the growth of the market in Europe. The aquaculture sector has grown tremendously and is an important contributor to the region’s food production sector.

The Middle East holds the least share in the global insect protein market due to the presence of stringent government policies. On the other hand, Africa holds a large share in the Middle Eastern and African region for the insect protein market, as the tradition of insect consumption is more than hundreds of years old. The rising price of beef and meat and the tropical climate for insect growth in this region also pose a huge opportunity for the market to grow in this region.
