Precision Fermentation Ingredients Market by Ingredient, Microbe End User, Food & Beverage Application And Region - Global Forecast to 2030

Sep 4, 2023

Microbe End User, Food & Beverage Application And Region - Global Forecast to 2030" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06309035/?utm_source=GNW The market’s expansion can be attributed to the growing number of startups venturing into precision fermentation industry, driven by heightened investor interest from companies like ADM and Cult Food. Given that precision fermentation involves lab-grown ingredients, it demands substantial investments in research and development to expedite product commercialization. Factors such as rising concern for animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and the demand for alternative proteins have spurred the market’s momentum for precision fermentation ingredients. By end-use, the pharmaceutical segment is projected to account for the second-largest market share during the forecast period. The pharmaceutical segment holds the second-largest market share due to precision fermentation’s potential in producing complex therapeutic proteins, enzymes, and bioactive compounds.This technology enables cost-effective and scalable production of biopharmaceuticals, reducing dependency on traditional methods. Precision fermentation offers precise control over product characteristics, ensuring high-quality outputs.Moreover, it allows for the development of innovative treatments, including personalized medicines and rare disease therapies. These advantages drive pharmaceutical companies to invest in precision fermentation, addressing unmet medical needs and fostering advancements in medical science.For example, in 2021, McKinsey, a US-based company strategically employs advanced tech to enhance biologic fermentation, optimizing microbial hosts via genetic sequencing, editing, analytics, and automation. This could revolutionize the fermentation-derived API market, enhancing pharmaceutical production processes and yields. Despite regulatory hurdles, these innovations hold the potential to drive substantial value and growth. By food & beverage application, the meat & seafood segment is anticipated to hold the second-largest market share. during the forecast period. The demand for plant-based proteins in the meat alternatives category is poised to surge due to the remarkable growth of the global plant-based meat industry.Industry players like Impossible Foods, Motif FoodWorks, and Melt&Marble have introduced precision-fermented meat alternative products such as burgers, fats, and proteins. Further, the involvement of established meat and food producers can significantly accelerate the industry’s progress, leveraging their resources, infrastructure, and distribution networks through collaborations, investments, acquisitions, and the incorporation of fermentation-derived ingredients. • By ingredient type, the whey & casein protein holds the second-largest market share, following enzymes. Whey protein, extracted from dairy products, boasts high digestibility and amino acid balance, often used in sports nutrition and food & beverage sectors.Its neutral flavor makes it adaptable across products without altering the taste. However, the rise of sustainable and meatless preferences has driven innovation, leading to dairy-free cheese and plant-based sports nutrition.Precision fermentation, an emerging technology, meets this demand, providing whey and other ingredients without traditional animal sources. This aligns with evolving consumer choices and positions precision fermentation as a transformative solution. • By microbe type, the bacteria segment is projected to demonstrate the highest CAGR in the market. Bacteria have been proven instrumental in various bioprocesses, offering advantages like rapid growth, genetic modification feasibility, and extensive metabolic pathways manipulation.These attributes empower researchers to engineer bacteria for the targeted production of a wide range of valuable compounds, ranging from pharmaceuticals to sustainable food ingredients. The extensive biological diversity present in microbial species and their limitless biosynthesis capabilities offer significant potential for creating innovative alternative protein solutions through fermentation-based methods. However, microorganism-derived proteins are currently striving to achieve comparable levels of taste, texture, and cost-effectiveness as conventional animal proteins. The Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR in the precision fermentation ingredients market. The surge in awareness about animal welfare through organizations like PETA has driven a shift towards meat-free diets.Non-meat dishes are already prevalent in the Asia Pacific region, with tofu and bean-based congees widely consumed. The demand for precision fermented egg alternatives in the region is propelled by the increasing adoption of vegetarian diets and rising egg prices.Furthermore, these alternatives offer health benefits such as low cholesterol and high protein content. China, a significant player in this market, demonstrates its commitment through strategic plans that support alternative protein research and development, showcasing the region’s dedication to advancing precision fermentation process.
