Report overview
Segments covered: product, application. Regions: Europe.
The growth of the Europe black soldier fly market is mainly attributed to the increasing government support for the use of insect meal in livestock feed, increasing demand from the animal feed industry for alternative proteins due to rising prices of fish and soy meal, rising demand for alternative protein, and environmental sustainability with production and consumption of alternative protein. Furthermore, minimizing dependency on imported protein sources is expected to create market growth opportunities. However, the non-standardized regulatory framework across Europe and the risk of allergies due to insect consumption are expected to hinder the growth of this market to some extent. However, the risk of disease transmission from BSF and lack of awareness challenge market growth.
The report includes a competitive landscape based on an extensive assessment of the key strategic developments by leading market participants in the industry. Some of the key players operating in the Europe black soldier fly market are Protix B.V. (Netherlands), InnovaFeed SAS (France), EnviroFlight, LLC (U.S.), BioflyTech (Spain), nextProtein (France), Hexafly (Ireland), SFly Comgraf SAS (France), and Protenga Pte. Ltd. (Singapore).
Market dynamics
1 factors across 1 forceIncreasing Government Support for the Use of Insect Meal in Livestock Feed
Many government authorities have been mandated to coordinate in promoting the sustainable supply of safe, healthy feed in the global insect feed industry. Some government authorities are supporting the consumption of BSF-based products in animal feed, accelerating the growing demand for BSF products. For instance, in 2017, the European Government approved the use of feed ingredients derived from BSF larvae in aquaculture feed.
Moreover, in August 2021, regulation (EU) 2021/1372 authorized the processing of animal proteins derived from insects in poultry and pig feed. This regulation came into effect in September 2021. The European government legislation prohibits using dead insects or processed insects in feed for chickens and pigs. However, it is allowed to feed live insects, insect oil, or hydrolyzed protein. According to the International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed (IPIFF), the use of insect meals in pigs and poultry feed will be the main focus after the approval of its use in aqua feed. This will create more market opportunities for insect meal producers to enter the huge poultry feed market.
Thus, growing government support to approve the use of insect meal in feed is expected to fuel the growth of the Europe BSF market in the coming years.
