How has the single-cell protein market size evolved in recent years?

The market size of single-cell protein has witnessed rapid expansion in recent years. The growth is projected from $14.55 billion in 2024 to an estimated $16.95 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The substantial growth observed during this historical period can be linked to the escalating uptake of dietary supplements, the expanding population suffering from malnourishment worldwide, the increment in industrial livestock production, an increasing demand for goods high in protein, and government policies that encourage sustainable food production.

What are the predictions for the single-cell protein market size in the coming years?

In the coming years, the single-cell protein market is anticipated to experience a rapid surge in its size. By 2029, it is predicted to expand to $30.89 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. This predicted growth during the forecast period can be linked to factors such as a thriving animal feed industry, increased efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, extended use of single-cell protein, heightened consumer focus on health and wellness, and the advancement of innovative production platforms and bioreactor designs. Key trends for this forecast period are enhanced fermentation technology, adoption of green and eco-friendly practices, utilization of SCP in animal feed and aquaculture sectors, breakthroughs in microbial fermentation methods, and progress in biotechnology to improve protein yields.

What key factors are fueling the growth of the single-cell protein market?

The expansion of industrial animal farming is anticipated to fuel the single-cell protein market’s growth. The practice of raising animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens for food, fiber, and other goods is on the rise to fulfill market needs. Livestock production, which caters to worldwide food needs, bolsters rural economies, and supplies resources such as meat, milk, and leather, also contributes to the development of single-cell protein. This is achieved by providing organic waste materials like manure and agricultural waste that serve as a breeding ground for microbes, facilitating the growth of single-celled organisms used as sustainable protein sources. For instance, the United States Department of Agriculture, a federal agency, indicated in February 2024 that animal and animal product sales hit $259 billion in 2022, a significant increase from $195.8 billion in 2021. As such, the rising industrial livestock production is a key driver propelling the growth of the single-cell protein market.

Which trends are expected to transform the single-cell protein market?

Leading firms in the sector of single-cell protein are pioneering in creating proteins that are carbon-neutral. This initiative is not only propelling sustainable food production forward but is also decreasing carbon footprints and catering to the rising demand for environment-friendly substitutes. Carbon-neutral proteins encompass protein generating processes that either lessen or balance carbon expulsion, thereby, mitigating the detrimental impact on the environment caused by food production. As an example, Solar Foods, a biotech firm based in Finland, was given the green light by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) in September 2022 for its product named Solein, a single-cell protein derived from CO2, water, and electricity, encompassed in a self-contained system. The production process of Solein involves fermentation using bacteria that oxidize hydrogen. These bacteria transform carbon dioxide and hydrogen into a food ingredient high in protein. This inventive technique facilitates protein production devoid of conventional agrarian practices, setting up Solein as a sustainable choice over traditional protein sources. Solein takes the spotlight for its insignificant environmental footprint, necessitating no traditional farming inputs but offering a protein constitution of 65-70%. Furthermore, Solein is devoid of allergens, rendering it a flexible option for those with dietary constraints.
