Precision Fermentation Market Expected to Reach $34.9 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Precision Fermentation Market," The precision fermentation market size was valued at $1.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $34.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 40.5% from 2022 to 2031.

Precision fermentation is a method of producing insulin and vitamins, enzymes, milk proteins including casein, whey, and other functional components. Precision fermentation refers to the method of using microbes as cell factories to produce useful substances. The rising use of meat or animal-derived dietary products is generating environmental concerns. The production of animal-derived food items produces a large amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, which further result in degrading air quality. Precision fermentation technology increases protein output since it is cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally gentle. Moreover, when compared to animal or plant-derived proteins, proteins generated by precision fermentation are non-allergic. Developing biotechnological methods to use fermentation to produce high-quality animal protein through yeast, fungus, and other microbes are expected to boost the global precision fermentation market growth during the forecast period.

The manufacturing cost of precision fermentation for the mixture of protein without the use of animal proteins or lipids has gained pace in recent years owing to the growing vegan population's need for more animal-free goods. This market method entails genetically engineered yeast or fungus to produce the gene, normally encoded by animal DNA. Bacteria are then used to make a desired product that resembles the texture, taste, and nutritional composition of actual animal products.

Precision fermentation also helps with the planet's most significant issues such as land conversion, environmental degradation, and climate change. In addition, one of the factors influencing the precision fermentation market opportunities is rising investments in the market by the major players. Precision fermentation technology is being used by numerous companies since it creates a wide range of complex organic compounds without using any animals. Additionally, rising investment and funding in the precision fermentation process and technologies, the growing prevalence of cultured meat amongst consumers, the rising interest of consumers in consuming a plant-based diet, the increase in the instances of food allergies, rising demand for nutrition, and unparalleled food safety are some of the major factors driving the growth of the global precision fermentation market.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Precision Fermentation Industry

• The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on several enterprises throughout the world. The food and beverage industry was one of the most affected by the pandemic. Because of the pandemic, demand for processed foods and other food goods declined substantially.
• The economic slowdown hampered the establishment of new precision fermentation projects throughout the world since most government financings were transferred to the healthcare sector due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, which had a significant influence on the market.
• Social distancing norms, closed borders, and production constraints, due to the pandemic, across various countries such as China, India, and the U.S. have affected the global market
