These cultures, commonly used in dairy, meat, and fermented products, inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms and pathogens, reducing the need for chemical preservatives.

Growing awareness among consumers and industry players about the benefits of naturally preserved foods is boosting adoption. The expansion of the dairy, bakery, and processed meat sectors is also supporting market growth, as these industries increasingly rely on protective cultures to ensure safety and consistency.
