Description

The global antifreeze proteins market size reached USD 5.45 million in 2020 and reach USD 30.22 million in 2027, registering a solid 34.3% CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2027. Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) refer to a type of polypeptides produced from specific plants, insects, fish, bacteria, and fungi as a natural survival response. Also known as the ice structuring proteins (ISPs), antifreeze proteins bind to form ice crystals when the temperature falls below zero to inhibit the growth and recrystallization of ice. A steadily expanding application base is projected to uphold the growth of the antifreeze proteins market during the forecast period.

Rising adoption of Antifreeze Proteins:

Rising awareness among people regarding the benefits associated with antifreeze protein is primarily driving the market growth. These proteins inhibit the growth of ice crystals within body fluids, which remains the key factor boosting their demand recently. Moreover, the advent of technology in favor of fish farming in cold environments is supporting market growth.

The increasing number of R&D activities and rising R&D investments worldwide. Escalating application of antifreeze proteins in vaccination, organ transplants, and cosmetics, highlighting several potential application areas in the medical and pharmaceutical industries

The food and beverages industry still holds many untapped opportunities for the growth of the antifreeze proteins market across the globe. However, the high initial costs and expensive R&D investments continue to restrain the growth of the antifreeze proteins market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Antifreeze Proteins Market:
