Single Cell Protein Market size to exceed $18.5bn by 2030

Single Cell Protein Market valuation is estimated to surpass USD 18.5 billion by 2030, as per a new research report announced by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Increasing health consciousness and awareness among consumers regarding protein intake has accelerated the demand for fortified food products worldwide. Owing to changing dietary habits and fast-paced lifestyles, nutrient deficiencies have become more prevalent in recent years. To fulfill protein requirements, consumers are increasingly consuming animal-based meat which will boost single cell protein (SCP) use as an animal feed ingredient. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global meat consumption is expected to increase by 73% by 2050.
 

SCPs have widespread applications in poultry feed, fish feed, and pet food. It is also used as an emulsifying agent and a nutrient enhancer in food products such as soups, baked goods, ready-to-eat meals, and convenient foods. A steady increase in the demand for dietary supplements will accelerate the use of SCPs. Furthermore, a rapid shift in consumer preference for plant-based protein will favor the single cell protein market expansion.
 

Growing protein consumption to drive bacteria sourced single cell protein

In terms of volume, the single cell protein industry share from bacteria segment is poised to surpass 240 kilo tons by 2030, as per the report. Bacteria is suitable for the production of SCP because of its rapid growth rate. The protein is sourced from bacteria either using pure or mixed bacterial cultures or from dehydrated microbial cell cultures.
 

With the constantly escalating population across the globe, the demand for food has witnessed a sharp rise, adding considerable pressure on food manufacturers and the agricultural sector. Extensive research initiatives focusing on ways to boost protein output and ensure food security may complement product demand in the food sector.
