By food & beverage application, the egg alternatives segment is projected to grow with the second-highest CAGR in the precision fermentation ingredients market during the forecast period.
The rising inclination toward vegan food has led manufacturers to introduce a variety of egg alternatives. Precision fermentation-derived egg alternatives find use in baking, cooking, and food formulation. Every Company introduced an egg protein called ClearEgg via precision fermentation in collaboration with Pressed Juicery in November 2021. In April 2021, the company increased its production capacity of egg alternatives further. In 2022, Shiru streamlined animal-free egg prototype creation using AI and machine learning. This innovative method accelerated the replication of egg properties within a plant-based framework.
By ingredient type, the whey and casein protein segments accounted for the second-largest share.
The burgeoning awareness of animal-free options, veganism, and plant-based lifestyles has driven manufacturers to introduce an array of dairy-free ingredients. In the precision fermentation ingredients market, whey and casein play pivotal roles with versatile applications across industries. Companies like Modern Kitchen, based in the US, utilize precision fermentation-based whey protein from Perfect Day to produce animal-free cream cheese. The Brazilian company Up Dairy specializes in precision fermentation to create dairy ingredients, with a focus on whey protein and casein. Up Dairy employs advanced technologies such as cell line development, host strain development, target molecule selection, bioprocess design, and ingredient optimization. Formo Bio's approach to crafting animal-free cheese through precision fermentation showcases the intersection of traditional practices and innovative technology. By sourcing whey and casein from microorganisms inspired by cow DNA, they tap into both heritage and innovation, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional dairy cheese.
By microbe type, the fungi segment constitutes around one-fourth of the global demand.
Extensive research and development activities in the field of precision fermentation have helped food producers evolve the landscape of animal-free protein alternatives using microbes such as bacteria, yeast, and fungi. One advantage of utilizing fungi for metabolic engineering is that their eukaryotic origin allows them to tolerate and functionally express heterologous eukaryotic proteins and enzymes, resulting in proper protein folding and post-translational modifications. Better Meat Co., a US-based company, developed a process for biomass protein from the filamentous fungi Neurospora crass In February 2022, the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland developed egg white protein (ovalbumin) from fungi using precision fermentation.

North America holds the highest market share during the forecast period.
North America remained the largest market for precision fermentation ingredients due to increasing consumer awareness, consumption of healthy food ingredients, the veganism trend, etc. The landscape of the North American precision fermentation ingredients market is poised for a transformative shift; around 40% of U.S. adults, over 90 million individuals, are ready to embrace precision fermentation products, projected to reach 132 million consumers by 2027 (The Hartman Group). Younger generations are receptive due to environmental concerns and sustainability, with the second most influential factor being the positive impact on the environment. This aligns with their preference for sustainable consumption. The link between precision fermentation ingredients and sustainability, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, natural farming, and sustainable packaging, offers innovation potential. Millennials and Gen Z are willing to pay up to 10% more for such products. This technology serves as a catalyst for a more sustainable and technologically advanced market landscape shaped by evolving consumer preferences and environmental consciousness.
