In 2023, the demand for microbial protein used in feed is expected to be worth US$ 159.0 million. Sales of microbial protein used in feed are projected to increase at a CAGR of 13.5% and reach US$ 564.1 million by 2033.
The microbial protein used in feed industry has been experiencing significant growth due to several drivers. One of the key drivers is the growing demand for high-quality animal protein sources globally. In addition, the increasing concerns regarding the environmental impact of traditional protein sources such as soybean and fishmeal have led to a shift towards microbial protein as a more sustainable alternative. Furthermore, advancements in fermentation technology have made it easier to produce microbial protein at a lower cost, further driving demand.
The industry is not without its restraints. One of the key challenges is the lack of awareness and understanding of microbial protein among farmers and animal feed manufacturers. Moreover, the high cost of microbial protein compared to traditional protein sources is hindering its adoption. In addition, the stringent regulations surrounding the use of microbial protein in animal feed are limiting its growth potential.
Despite these challenges, there are several opportunities for growth in the microbial protein used in feed industry. The increasing investments in research and development by key players to enhance microbial protein production and reduce its cost is expected to drive growth. Furthermore, the rising demand for plant-based protein sources in animal feed is expected to create new opportunities for the industry.
The latest trend in the industry is the adoption of precision feeding technology, which allows for the precise and accurate feeding of animals based on their specific nutritional needs. This trend is driving demand for high-quality protein sources such as microbial protein. In addition, the increasing use of automation and digital technologies in animal husbandry is expected to create new opportunities for the industry.
