Edible insects as alternative protein: Edible Insects Market Size, Growth at a CAGR of 20.4% during 2023 to 2030

The growth of this market is attributed to the growing need for protein alternatives as global food scarcity grows, the environmental benefits associated with grasshoppers, and the rising demand for grasshoppers in the animal feed industry. Additionally, increasing awareness about edible insects offers significant growth opportunities for edible grasshopper vendors. However, the lack of a standardized regulatory framework and psychological and ethical barriers to consuming insects as food restrains the edible grasshoppers market growth.

Environmental Benefits Associated With Grasshoppers Drives Edible Grasshopper Market

Edible grasshoppers appear more climate-friendly than cattle, pigs or chickens since they require less space and water to grow and develop and cause fewer greenhouse gas emissions. The environmental impact of food production is increasingly brought to the forefront of sustainability debates, particularly surrounding the reduction of CO2 emissions and other factors, such as water & land use. By 2025, at least 1.8 billion people will live in regions with inadequate freshwater supplies, and two-thirds of the global population will be under pressure from falling water sources (Source: FAO). The rising demand for meat is expected to pressure natural areas to be converted to farmland. Globally, twice as much land is used to raise cattle, pigs, and other animals than grow crops. Also, a third of those crops harvested are fed back to livestock (Source: FAO, 2020). Grasshoppers have a significantly lower environmental impact compared to traditional livestock farming. They require less land, water, and feed with minimal greenhouse gas emissions to produce the same protein.

Key Findings in the Edible Grasshoppers Market Study:

Based on product type, the edible grasshoppers market is segmented into dry grasshoppers, powdered grasshoppers, frozen grasshoppers, and other product types. In 2023, the dry grasshoppers segment is expected to account for the largest share of the edible grasshoppers market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to easy availability, the requirement for lower costs compared to processed grasshopper products, and the inaccessibility of processing techniques in some regions. However, the powdered grasshoppers segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the ease of incorporating powdered grasshoppers into protein bars, shakes, and snacks.

Based on end use, the edible grasshoppers market is segmented into human nutrition and animal nutrition. In 2023, the human nutrition segment is expected to account for the largest share of the edible grasshoppers market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the higher acceptance of edible grasshoppers as a food source, considering their diverse nutrient profile and rising demand for innovative food alternatives. This segment is also expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on distribution channel, the edible grasshoppers market is segmented into offline and online distribution. In 2023, the offline distribution segment is expected to account for the largest share of the edible grasshoppers market. However, the online distribution segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
