Driver: Increase in Awareness of benefits associated with antifreeze proteins

Antifreeze proteins control ice crystal growth brought on by thawing, which drastically reduces texture quality. Using the methods and the protocols of trans-genesis, antifreeze proteins can be introduced into fish, yeast, vegetables, and fruits in order to give new beneficial properties to these organisms. These applications have certificated advantages that result in the production and the high quality of food. Thus, their demand is growing in the market.

Restraint: High cost of production and R&D expenditure

R&D expenses are one of the largest direct costs incurred by companies while manufacturing any product. This includes the cost for research, labor, power & utilities, and consumables. Extraction of an antifreeze protein from fish is a complex process and involves huge R&D investments. The antifreeze protein operates using a process known as thermal hysteresis, identified in Antarctic fish—lowering the freezing point of water in the hemolymph. The cost of machines and technology used in the extraction of antifreeze proteins is significantly high, and hence a majority of the key players are carrying out these operations in collaborations with prestigious universities and research organizations that have access to such kinds of tools. Thus, bulk extraction costs spike when it comes to industrial bulk productions.

Opportunity: Emerging markets in developing regions

The rise in living standards and changes in lifestyles in developing countries contribute to the rise in demand for convenience foods, cosmetics, and vaccinations, which indirectly impact the market. Emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China are expected to offer significant opportunities for the growth of the market.

Challenge:Limited use in food applications

There are a limited number of commercial applications for antifreeze proteins in the food industry, which limits the scope of the antifreeze proteins market. They are, however, used in the cosmetics, healthcare, and frozen foods industry. Most companies are still in the R&D phase for exploring new applications for antifreeze proteins in the food sector.
