Why is Demand for Protein Extracts from Single Cell Protein Sources Booming?

LONGFORD, Australia - May 20, 2022 - PRLog -- With the surging requirement for animal protein, on account of the booming population of livestock and cattle, including sheep, goat, and buffalo and mushrooming production of animal feed, the demand for protein extracts from single cell protein sources is rising sharply. As per the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF), around one billion tonnes of compound feed were produced across the world in 2016. The increasing production of compound feed is pushing up the requirement for protein from various sources, such as animal, microbes, and plant.

Moreover, the use of several alternative protein sources, such as chlorella and spirulina, is also rising explosively and the players operating in the protein extracts from single cell protein sources market are developing alternative proteins for replacing animal- and plant-based proteins, because of quality and safety concerns. Besides, the launch of several initiatives by various organizations for raising the awareness of consumers about the benefits of proteins, such as chlorella and spirulina is also driving the demand for protein extracts from single cell protein sources.

For example, Valensa International, which is a producer of microalgae-based nutraceuticals, entered into a partnership with Algae Biomass Organization (ABO), which is a trade association based in the U.S. for the algae industry, in 2017. This partnership intends to create public awareness about the ability of microalgae to serve as a sustainable source for animal feed, human nutrition, fuel, chemical, water treatment service, and various other products. Moreover, microalgae have also been found to be highly effective in controlling air pollution.

Geographically, the protein extracts from single cell protein sources market (https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/protein-...) will demonstrate the highest CAGR in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the upcoming years, as per the estimates of the market research firm, P&S Intelligence. This is attributed to the surging animal feed production in the regional countries. In addition, the soaring livestock production rate is propelling the requirement for proteins and other nutrients, which is subsequently fueling the growth of the market in the region.

Thus, the demand for protein extracts from single cell protein sources will shoot up in the upcoming years, mainly because of the increasing animal feed production, mushrooming population of livestock and cattle, and soaring requirement for alternative protein sources.
