Fish Protein Concentrate Market Drivers

Marine protein includes fish protein. Fish Protein Concentrate can be made from any kind of fish or fishery waste. It is made from fish by deriving out the oil, screening or settling out the bones, and drying so that the consequent product (Fish Protein Concentrate) is greater in protein (85% to 95 %) and reduced in ash content than fish meal. The particle size of the Fish Protein Concentrate is tinier than a fish meal and more uniform in color and texture. Owing to the processing costs connected to generating this product it is more high-priced than a fish meal and is normally only utilized in human usage or for very specialized usages principally in milk replacers. Since its oil content is less, the issue of fishy taste happening in the edible portion is low. Fish Protein Concentrate has principally been utilized in specially-designed feeding applications with monogastric animals as starter feeds. It is a wonderful source of greatly digestible amino acids. The surging applications of Fish Protein Concentrate are therefore fuelling the growth of the Fish Protein Concentrate Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Fish protein includes amino acids. Fish protein concentrate possesses nutritional advantages like being a high-quality protein including different vitamins and minerals. The health-associated advantages involve decreasing the hazard of heart attacks and enhancing brain health. It also supports a person enduring malnutrition. The collagen contained in fish protein concentrate has over 97% protein with nil fat, sugars, or starches. Fish protein concentrates have been utilized as a source of proteins, and chiefly for boosting the lysine content in wheat bread (Terra et al., 1976). BioRegion Protein, a Pacific Seafood Company, has developed SeaPro ™ HP, a de-boned fish protein concentrate extracted from just produced cuttings of marine whitefish and linked species harvested and processed for intake by humans.

It is a perfect protein source for backing microbial development in fermentation processing. The soaring benefits of Fish Protein Concentrate implemented in novel and useful products are therefore driving the growth of the Fish Protein Concentrate Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Fish Protein Concentrate Market Challenges

There is a surging worldwide requirement to switch from animal- to plant-based diets. The primary inspirations are environmental/sustainability-, human health- and animal welfare issues. The goal is to substitute conventional animal-based food with different options, essentially plant-based analogs. The soaring intake of fish and seafood, results in adverse impacts on the ecosystem, owing to dwindling biodiversity, environmental injury and fish ailments connected to large-scale marine farming, and raised consumption of toxic substances, specifically heavy metals, which get collected in fish owing to water pollution. While these facts result in heightened awareness and increasing dietary shifts towards vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, still most seafood consumers look for conventional products. This inspires the establishment of plant-based analogs for fish and seafood. In keeping with this trend, additional plant-derived protein constituents, like lupin and rapeseed/canola protein concentrates, have been established and studied as possible fish meal alternatives. However, there is no considerable production of any substitute protein concentrate other than those from soy or wheat. Plant-based products are a key driver of sales growth at grocery retailers nationwide, growing almost twice as fast as overall food sales. SPINS retail sales data released on April 6, 2021, shows that grocery sales of plant-based foods that directly replace animal products have grown 27 percent in the past year to $7 billion. The existence of plant-based substitutes is thus hampering the growth of the Fish Protein Concentrate Market.
