Key Factors Shaping the Insect Feed Market
Growing Demand for the Animal Feed will Propel Growth
The demand for good quality protein is rising in the poultry industry, thus increasing demand for insect feed. Edible insects may have demand comparable to soymeal and fishmeal that are used as key ingredients in feed formulae for animal feed and aquafeed. Insect protein is being used in the zoos and pet markets. This is the demand for insect feed.
Emerging Applications of Insect Protein to Boost Growth Opportunities
Insect feed is increasingly used in poultry and pig nutrition. Both these sectors witness high demand on account of the rising population around the world. Furthermore, consumers nowadays have become more conscious about the nutrition present in food they eat. The rising demand for healthier meat products and over increase in demand for the same has spurred insect feed sales across the world. Insect feed supplies nutrition promoting healthy growth in livestock. With farmers seeking alternative sources of protein, the insect feed market will witness attractive growth opportunities in the future.

Aquaculture Sector to Exhibit High Demand for Insect Feed
The aquafeed industry is actively seeking new sources of nutrition. This is propelling the growth of the market for edible insect feed. Fish meal and soymeal which are commonly used as aquafeed have steep price. As a result of this, the demand for alternative feed options is rising. The production of aquaculture is continuously growing, increasing the demand for alternative and inexpensive sources of protein, such as edible insects for animal feed. Besides aquaculture, the demand for insect feed is expected to rise in poultry and pig nutrition as well.
Market in Asia-Pacific is projected to Show Fastest Rate of Growth
Asia-Pacific dominated the market and in the coming years Europe is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing market for insect feed. Rising meat consumption in Asia-Pacific has encouraged the demand for healthy insect feed in the last few years. To meet the country's growing demand for nutritious meat, livestock are being fed protein-rich insects. This has led to the rise of the livestock insect feed industry. The decrease in the rural population increases the income shares of the current rural population, is further driving the country's insect feed market as it is a major source of income in the countryside.
High Protein Value Resulting in High Demand for Animal Feed
Insect feed has recently gained recognition as a sustainable animal feed because of its high energy and protein content. Insect feed is used as a source of food for various animals, including fish, poultry and livestock. Insect feeds are good sources of protein and contain various minerals and amino acids as natural ingredients. Insect feeds are a major element of poultry diets. Usage of insect feeds has a beneficial impact on animal health. Insects are a direct potential source of conventional protein production, as a source of protein in feedstock mixtures.
Silkworms segment held the leading market share
Meal worms segment forecast to higher rate of growth
Poultry nutrition segment holds dominance
Aquaculture segment to rise at a higher CAGR
How Growth will Unfold
Changing agricultural strategy, growing disposable income, rising population, and increasing demand for nutritional animal feed in the market are the key factors fuelling the demand for insect feeds. In terms of source, insect feed is obtained from fly larvae and meal worms. The demand in both categories is expected to surge in response to the rising demand for nutritional animal feed.
Due to the high feed conversion ratios, reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and high feed quality, the insect feed market is expected to witness high growth in the coming years. Besides, insects’ species can be nurtured on organic side streams, minimizing damage to the environment and transforming waste into high-protein feed. In addition, reduced disposable costs from organic side streams in the near future will boost the scope of the business. Because of its high nutritional value, insect feed is used for feeding farmed animals and this will also help to establish a profitable growth curve for the animal feed micronutrients industry. Evidently, the change in land use for the production of insect feed by cultivation and new methods in nutritious protein feed products will provide new market growth opportunities over the coming years.
