Antifreeze Proteins Market Insights

The global antifreeze proteins market is projected to grow from USD 4.1 million in 2021 to USD 27.2 million by 2026 at a CAGR value of 36.3% between 2021 to 2026. Antifreeze proteins are naturally found in organisms that thrive in harsh sub-zero environments. The antifreeze proteins present in these organisms reduce the freezing point of water thereby preventing the growth of ice crystals as they survive in cold environments.

Antifreeze protein has found a very vital role in improving the texture of frozen food. When food items are frozen, they often end up with a much poorer texture compared to food that has not been frozen. The texture difference largely stems from the damage due to the growth of ice crystals from the water content in the food. By introducing these proteins into the foodstuff, water’s freezing point is lowered as the proteins bind to the water molecules in the food, imparting antifreezing properties. Thus, these proteins have been used extensively in prolonging the shelf life and quality of frozen food. They will allow more food items that previously could not be frozen and transported over long distances due to the noticeable change in texture when frozen. The growing use of antifreeze in food is expected to be one of the major elements for the growth of the market.

The antifreeze proteins are extracted from organisms using machinery and equipment that are expensive using a process called thermal hysteresis. The thermal hysteresis process has not been upscaled to allow for bulk extraction and production of the proteins for industrial purposes. Most antifreeze suppliers have formed partnerships and tie-ups with research institutions to find new ways of extraction and to upscale the production to meet industrial requirements. The market is restrained by the high cost of machinery, extensive research and development involved, and the inability for bulk extraction of antifreeze proteins. Despite such restraints, these proteins have found application in various industries like the medical industry, cosmetics industry, food industry, and climate control applications.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused disruptions to the supply chains of fresh food producers, impacting their revenue as food went to waste. Antifreeze proteins offer food producers the option of freezing their food and prolonging shelf life when supply chains are disrupted without a discernible change in quality and texture. The food industry is expected to increasingly turn to these proteins to improve the shelf lives of products to improve their market reach.

Antifreeze Proteins Market: By Type

Based on the various types of the protein, the market can be fragmented into type I, type II, type III, antifreeze glycoproteins, and others segments. The type I segment grabbed the lion’s share of the antifreeze proteins market during the forecast period. Type I proteins are extracted from winter fishes and are extensively used in the cosmetics and healthcare industry, making them one of the most commonly used proteins. The growing use of these proteins in the medical and cosmetics industry is envisaged to result in the type I segment is become the fastest-growing segment between 2021 and 2026.

Antifreeze Proteins Market: By Form

Based on the final forms of the antifreeze protein products, the market can be fragmented into solid and liquid segments. The growing use of solid form proteins in the food industry for applications in ice cream and meat products, combined with their use in the cosmetics and the medical industry has led to the sold segment to clutch the biggest share of the market. The solid segment is also expected to grow at better growth rates than the liquid segment owing to its ease in storage and application.

Antifreeze Proteins Market: By Source

Based on the sources from which these proteins are extracted, the market can be fragmented as fish, plants, insects, fungi, and others. The fish segment held the biggest chunk of the market between 2021 and 2026. Proteins extracted from winter fishes are the most commonly used in various industries like cosmetics and food which has led to the dominance of the fish segment. The insects segment is envisaged to show better growth rates than the other segments during the forecast period. Insect-derived antifreeze proteins are more effective and have better antifreezing proteins than proteins from other sources. Insect-derived proteins are much more complex and superior which is expected to increase the demand for insect derive proteins during the forecast period.

Antifreeze Proteins Market: By End-User

Based on the various applications of antifreeze proteins in various industries, the market can be segmented into food, cosmetics, medical, and petroleum end-users. The medical segment is envisaged to hold the largest share of the market. Antifreeze proteins are used in the medical segment for organ transplants, store blood for longer periods, and other biological compounds without freeze damage. The growing use of these proteins in the food industry is envisaged to result in the food segment showing better growth rates during the forecast period.
