Insect alternative protein refers to proteins made from insects as raw materials and used as food ingredients to replace traditional protein sources (such as meat, beans, etc.). In recent years, insect alternative proteins have attracted increasing attention in the food industry.

The insect alternative protein market is driven by multiple factors, including sustainability, nutritional value, resource efficiency, and the increasing importance of food safety and ecological awareness. Following are some of the major factors driving the growth of the insect alternative protein market:



Sustainability: Insects have relatively short growth cycles and they require less water, food and land. Compared with traditional animal husbandry, cultivating insects can use resources more efficiently and reduce environmental burden, so it meets the needs of sustainable development.



High protein content: Insects are a rich food source of protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Insect protein is of high quality and bioavailability and can be used as a high-quality protein source to meet daily dietary requirements.



Resource efficiency: Farming insects requires relatively little feed and space and grows relatively quickly. Compared with traditional animal husbandry, insect farming can make more efficient use of limited resources.



Increased Global Protein Demand: As the global population grows and lives longer, the demand for high-quality protein continues to increase. Insect alternative proteins are a potentially viable option that could help meet this need.
