The U.S. insect protein market is basically booming due to growing consumer awareness about sustainable and alternative protein sources. The debate over the environmental impact of conventional livestock farming-namely land use and greenhouse gas emissions-has generated some interest, if only to a limited extent so far, in finding eco-friendly options for protein. Increasing demand for high-protein and nutrient-rich food products is also driving demand for insect-based ingredients in protein bars, snacks, pet food, and animal feed. In this case, increasing market demand will interjectively ride on the approach of approval processes that will make insect products FDA-approved, and thus widely accessible.
In a society comprised of health-conscious and fitness-oriented consumers, high-protein and minimally processed food option took precedence-creating demand for insect protein. The much-needed insect farming attracts new investments for start-ups in innovative food manufacturing because they use very little water and feed compared to all other livestock, which otherwise would have put enormous pressure on the environment. Some alliances formed in the insect protein processing sector in collaboration with traditional players are pushing the market further into new realms of innovation-oriented solutions accessible across the entire retail food service sector. Overall, by changing consumer preferences, sustainability concerns, and technological advancements, the future of the U.S. insect protein will find itself as one of the key players in the alternative protein industry.
