According to the European Commission, total milk production in the European Union (EU) is estimated at around 155 million tonnes per year. France, Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain are a few major producers of milk and milk products in the EU. These countries account for about 70% of the total production. The dairy market across the region is witnessing substantial change with the emergence of different consumer trends. Consumers across Europe prefer natural, organic, and sustainable dairy products that are minimally processed and contain simple ingredients. In addition, transparent product labelling helps health-conscious consumers across the region have a better knowledge of the components utilized in dairy products. Moreover, with the advent of hectic modern lifestyles, there is a growing demand for convenient food products that can be consumed on-the-go and don’t need refrigeration while remaining fresh at the same time. Therefore, dairy manufacturers are incorporating protective cultures, which are specialized bacteria, to inhibit the growth of pathogenic organisms or microbiological deterioration agents. Increasing utilization of protective cultures as natural preservatives in processed dairy products is driving the growth of the protective cultures market in Europe. Also, protective cultures are playing a vital role in the region’s evolving dairy landscape.
Consumer preference is shifting toward food and beverages with natural preservatives. Upsurge in the consumption of convenience and ready-to-eat food products propels the demand for foods with longer shelf life, which boosts the need for natural preservatives.
Protective cultures are considered a promising alternative in comparison to lactic acid bacteria. The use of protective culture ensures the safety and quality of minimally processed foods items without chemical preservatives. It also extends the shelf life of ready-to-eat products with fresh-tasting. The rising consumption of ready-to-eat food products coupled with the increasing consumption of healthy food, specifically with clean label ingredients, is the major factor projected to fuel the protective cultures market growth during the forecast period. In addition, the consumer preference toward clean-label products is surging, owing to the use of bacterial cultures. For instance, in 2017, DSM launched the Delvo Guard range of clean-label dairy cultures designed to inhibit mold and yeast in fresh dairy products without affecting food quality or safety. The company stated that these protective cultures are an addition to DSM’s clean-label range. It delivers an entirely clean-label and natural solution to image-conscious brands looking to contribute to a more sustainable world and rise to the challenge of changing consumer trends and preferences. Moreover, before consumption, health-conscious consumers understand the ingredients used in products through transparent product labeling. Thus, the demand for clean label products comprising natural preservatives is increasing.

According to the Food & Health Survey 2016, over 70% of consumers check expiry dates in supermarkets and hypermarkets. This shows that, while consumers value clean labels and natural products, shelf life is also a key driver of purchasing behavior. In addition, recent research has exhibited that consumers are willing to pay more for clean label products, with 1 in 2 people ready to pay at least 10% more for these products, such as yogurt free from artificial preservatives. All such factors drive the demand for the natural preservatives across the world.
Protective Cultures market: Segmental Overview
By target microorganism, the protective cultures market is bifurcated into bacteria, yeast and molds. During the forecast period, the yeast and molds segment is expected to have a higher growth rate. Yeasts are a subset of fungi, a large group of organisms that also includes molds and mushrooms. They are generally single-celled organisms that have evolved to live in specialized environment. Yeast and molds are two of the most important contaminants that impact food quality. The use of a protective culture helps reduce wastage and spoilage caused by these microbes. Protective cultures are made of bacteria that have been selected for their capacity to limit the growth of pathogenic organisms or microbiological spoiling agents. They are GRAS (generally recognized as safe). Further, manufacturers are employing natural additives and ingredients in foods and beverages. For instance, the HOLDBAC protective culture produced by Dowdupont helps improve quality, extends shelf life, and reduces food waste in fermented foods and beverages. Therefore, protective cultures is used to avoid food waste that can be caused by yeasts and molds
Based on application, the protective cultures market is bifurcated into food processing and animal feed. The market for the animal feed segment is expected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period. Animal feed is made by carefully selecting and mixing ingredients to provide highly nutritional meals to animals. The feed helps maintain the health of livestock and improve the quality of end products, such as meat, milk, and eggs. Protective cultures help control the carriage of pathogenic microorganisms in animal feed. In addition, pet food and animal feed manufactures are concerned about a few factors such as improving the palatability of the food or feed, maintaining freshness, and controlling mold growth. Protective cultures are employed in pet food and animal feed to inhibit the growth of mold and fungi and enhance their palatability while maintaining their freshness.
