By microorganism, the bacterial segment is projected to account for the largest share in the market during the forecast period


Bacteria is the most common microorganism used for starter cultures, mainly due to their large-scale application in dairy & dairy-based products. Streptococcus thermophilus is the second-most commercially important starter culture. It is used, along with the Lactobacillus species, as a multi-strain mixed starter culture for the manufacture of several fermented dairy foods such as fermented milk, yogurt, and mozzarella cheese. Thermophilic bacteria are more commonly used as starter cultures compared to mesophilic bacteria, based on the product portfolio of different manufacturers.



By form, freeze-dried segment is projected to account for the largest share in the market by form during the forecast period


With freeze-drying, microorganisms can be preserved without causing severe damage to their physical or molecular functions. As a result, the adoption of the freeze-drying method has increased significantly for microbe-based applications. These cultures can easily be rehydrated, depending on the application’s requirement. Freeze drying is used in various application areas such as fermented milk and cheese.


Europe is projected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period


European dairy market has played a key role in driving the growth for the starter cultures market, where it holds dominance.
