Global Protective Cultures Market Forecast to 2023: New Growth Frontiers in Emerging Markets & Growth Prospects for Untapped Industrial Applications

Dublin, Dec. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Protective Cultures Market by Product Form (Freeze-dried and Frozen), Target Microorganism (Yeasts & Molds and Bacteria), Application (Dairy & Dairy Products, Meat & Poultry Products, and Seafood), Composition, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The protective cultures market is estimated at USD 101 million in 2018 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.6%, to reach USD 292 million by 2023.

According to the European Food & Feed Cultures Association (EFFCA), protective cultures are considered an integral part of starter cultures rather than additives. They are deliberately added to a product to control the bacteriological activities and protect against product deterioration without hampering the sensory qualities of the product. Protective cultures are generally GRAS certified. Owing to this, the bacterial species that are used to inhibit the pathogen's growth on the food material are fully natural.

Bioprotection has been gaining interest since the past few years due to the increasing consumer preferences for natural products and due to the need for increasing the shelf life of perishable products. As a result, natural microflora is used in various perishable food & beverage products to increase their shelf life and meet the clean label requirements.

These microflorae generally consist of microorganisms that delay the spoilage of food & beverage products and are often referred to as protective cultures. The advancements in the technology used in the process of fermentation have created a potential demand for enhanced production of protective culture. The use of protective cultures can help extend the shelf life of products despite factors such as climatic factors and logistical inadequacies.

The increasing incidence of food wastage due to spoilage has given way to consumers and organizations taking steps to reduce the amount of waste they generate. The introduction of protective cultures is among the few steps taken by organizations in curbing food wastage. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 30% of global production is lost. Organizations are taking steps to reduce this wastage through the implementation of natural preservative substances and logistical support.

The growing consumer awareness about food products is among the key factors fueling the demand for natural products with minimal processing involved. This has led to the introduction of clean label products, which are known to invoke higher transparency and traceability in different types of products. The term clean label does not have a clear or single definition, and is mostly associated with the absence of artificial ingredients, GMOs, and the presence of simple ingredients that are familiar to consumers, and transparency in terms of the wholesomeness of the ingredient.

Further, natural and organic are claims that are considered to be clean label. The rising consumer focus on the safety of food products and the growing health consciousness are key factors fueling the growth of clean label products and protective cultures.
