INSECT-BASED PRODUCTS: THE NEXT BIG THING IN PET NUTRITION

Edible insects are a promising alternative protein & nutrition source for the manufacture of pet food due to their high content of protein and essential amino acids, as well as antioxidant properties. They also provide pets with antimicrobial peptides and fatty acids that can enhance immune response and support gut microbiota while also improving feed palatability. Insects can be a valuable alternative to fish meal and soybean meal commonly used in pet food production. Moreover, the use of edible insects can also provide environmental and sustainability benefits. Pet owners are becoming increasingly aware that insects are a sustainable and nutritious food option for their pets.

Geographic Analysis:

Based on geography, the edible insects market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In terms of value, in 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of 34.8% of the edible insects market. This market is projected to reach $5,727.5 million by 2033.

Asia-Pacific's dominant position in the edible insects market is attributed to the well-established edible insect commercial farming markets in the region, especially in Thailand, the wide availability and significant production of various insects, the absence of stigmas related to insect consumption, the absence of regulatory barriers to using insects as food & feed, and the presence of key market players in the region. Asia-Pacific is environmentally and culturally diverse, and each country in the region has different cultures, cuisines, and eating habits. One of the major aspects of this geographical and cultural diversity is how insects are used as food or feed. Many countries in Asia-Pacific do not have a negative perception of insect use in food or feed, which is one of the major factors supporting the growth of the edible insects market in the region.

In Asia-Pacific, the growing use of edible insects in animal feed applications is mainly driven by the emergence of 'insects for feed' businesses, the increasing acceptance of BSF and mealworms as animal feed ingredients, strong growth in the animal feed and aquafeed industries, rising costs of traditional feed, and increasing awareness regarding the use of insects as an alternative protein source for animal feed.

In 2024, Thailand is expected to account for the largest share of 43.9% of the edible insects market in Asia-Pacific. The country's large market share is mainly attributed to consumers' high acceptance of edible insects, the presence of a large number of edible insect farms, the increasing use of BSF (Black Soldier Fly) in animal feed, the growth of the livestock industry, and rising feed prices. With more than 20,000 insect farms, insect farming is prevalent throughout Thailand. The country is one of the largest consumers of edible insects globally. Over 50 species of insects are considered edible and consumed throughout the year in Thailand.

North America: The Fastest-growing Regional Market

The edible insects market in North America is projected to register the highest CAGR of 31.0% during the forecast period. In terms of value, in 2024, the U.S. is expected to account for the major share of 80.8% of the edible insects market in North America. North America has witnessed a surge in entomophagy during the last decade, with insect-based foods, feeds, and derivative products being extensively produced in the region. The increasing consumption of edible insect-based foods in the region is mainly attributed to the growing demand for environment-friendly & protein-rich foods, government approvals for the use of edible insects in food and feed, the growing use of BSF for organic waste valorization, continued expansion by major companies in the edible insect sector, and the proliferation of end-use industries in the region. Moreover, increasing familiarity with the use of insects as food, decreasing food neophobia, and changing attitudes towards insects, both in general and as food, are key factors increasing the acceptance of edible insects in North America.

Major players are expanding their operations in the U.S. to capitalize on the growth opportunities in this dynamic market. Some of the notable developments in this market are as follows:

• In January 2024, EnviroFlight LLC (U.S.) partnered with Entocycle, a U.K.-based insect farm and technology provider, to develop and trial Entosight Neo at EnviroFlight's Innovation Center in Apex, North Carolina (U.S.).

The Netherlands Continues to Dominate the Edible Insects Market in Europe

In 2024, the Netherlands is expected to account for the largest share of 26.1% of the edible insects market in Europe. Factors such as the growing demand for animal protein, the early adoption of insects as food and feed, the increasing use of edible insects as an alternative protein source for animal feed, the presence of several insect processing companies, and increasing waste disposal issues contribute to the country's largest market share. The Dutch government, with support from research institutes, is developing an innovative supply chain for industrial insect processing, including large-scale insect farming and the marketing of insect-derived products for food, feed, and pet food applications. The edible insect supply chain design is circular, based on farming insects on organic waste and using them as food or feed ingredients.
