Rapid Growth Driven by Biopreservation and Cold Chain Innovation
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are gaining prominence for their ability to inhibit ice formation and protect biological structures at sub-zero temperatures. Their adoption is accelerating in cryopreservation, regenerative medicine, frozen food processing, vaccine storage, and complex biologics formulation.
Growing healthcare investments, expansion of biomedical research, and stricter quality protocols for tissue preservation are pushing manufacturers to integrate next-gen AFP-based solutions. With emerging economies strengthening their cold chain capabilities, global demand continues to surge.
Market Highlights
• Market Value, 2025: USD 16.9 million
• Market Forecast, 2035: USD 192.0 million
• Forecast CAGR: 27.5%
• Leading Form Segment: Solid (57.6% share in 2025)
• High-Growth Regions: North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe
• Top Companies: Unilever, Kaneka Corporation, Nichirei Corporation, A/F Protein Inc., Sirona Biochem, ProtoKinetix Inc., Shanghai Yu Tao Industrial Co. Ltd., Kodera Herb Garden Co. Ltd., Beijing Huacheng Jinke Technology Co. Ltd.
Segmental Outlook: Strong Momentum Across Form, Type, and End-Use
The market is categorized by form, type, end use, source, and region, with significant growth anticipated across all categories.
Solid Form Leads the Market
The solid form is projected to command 57.6% of global revenues in 2025. Its stability, ease of storage, and suitability for lyophilized preparations make it the preferred choice in biotechnology, clinical labs, and research environments. The ability to transport solid AFPs without cold storage also strengthens adoption across developing markets.
Antifreeze Glycoproteins Remain the Top Type Segment
Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are expected to secure 42.8% market share in 2025, driven by their superior ice-binding activity and wide use in cryopreservation of tissues, organs, blood products, and stem cells. Enhanced recombinant production technologies are lowering costs and improving scalability, making AFGPs more accessible to medical and research institutions.
Medical Applications Account for the Highest Demand
The medical end-use segment will hold 46.3% share in 2025, fueled by the rising need for advanced solutions in:
• Organ transplantation
• Vaccine preservation
• Cell and tissue cryopreservation
• Regenerative medicine
Growing reliance on long-term storage of biologics and emerging clinical therapies is expected to sustain this leadership position.
Country-Level Momentum: Asia Leads Global Growth
The antifreeze proteins market shows diverse growth patterns across countries:
• China: 37.1% CAGR
• India: 34.4% CAGR
• Germany: 31.6% CAGR
• France: 28.9% CAGR
• United Kingdom: 26.1% CAGR
• United States: 23.4% CAGR (USD 6.1M in 2025 → USD 50.1M in 2035)
• Brazil: 20.6% CAGR
China and India continue to lead global expansion, supported by large biotechnology investments and advancements in cold chain infrastructure.
Industry Developments Strengthening Market Position
Key companies are accelerating R&D, expanding manufacturing capacity, and commercializing AFP-based products:
• April 2025: AquaBounty Technologies secured approval from ECCC for commercial production at its Rollo Bay facility.
• October 2025: Unilever launched its first probiotic ice cream line, Culture Republick, incorporating ice-structuring proteins.
• June 2025: ProtoKinetix signed an international MTA to test the performance of its AAGP® across critical biomedical projects.
Applications Expanding Across Food and Biomedical Industries
AFP ingredients are gaining interest in the food sector, especially in frozen desserts and ready meals, where temperature fluctuations can degrade product quality. AFPs reduce recrystallization, improve texture stability, and extend shelf life-making them valuable in:
• Ice cream and frozen desserts
• Frozen dough
• Meat and seafood preservation
In healthcare, AFPs are enabling breakthroughs in skin graft preservation, vaccine stability, and cryosurgery, offering substantial benefits for patient care.
