Precision Fermentation Market Overview

Microbial hosts are used in precision fermentation to create a specific final product. Microbial and bacterial fermentation are other names for precise fermentation. Both the food and pharmaceutical industries employ precision fermentation in a number of methods to create biopharmaceuticals. A more sophisticated kind of metabolic fermentation known as precision fermentation uses live organisms to transform organic compounds from the feedstock into components that may be used.

A large amount of biomass is created with the aid of certain enzymes, and the microorganisms are bred and multiplied in tiny factories. After reaching a critical mass, the desired product is recovered and refined to create a working product. The method depends on cooperation between teams from fermentation, purification, downstream processing, and strain engineering.

Opportunities in the Precision Fermentation Market

  • In Q3, fermentation start-ups raised USD $174 million, while plant-based and grown meat startups raised $56 million and $3 million, respectively. The funding was dominated by two agreements. A $61 million investment was made in the fermented cheese products made by the German business Formo. Helaina, a bioactive protein supplement manufacturer located in New York, raised $45 million in Series B investment. As a result, the total investment in fermentation technologies for 2024 has increased from $443 million in 2023 to $572 million. In the meanwhile, investments in plant-based and farmed meat are declining in 2023.
  • In September 2024, Earth First Food Ventures (EFFV), a venture capital platform, tokenized a $10 million Series A fundraising transaction. The investment will enable team expansion, establish a $50 million precision fermentation fund, and broaden EFFV's portfolio in the alt-dairy industry.

U.S. Precision Fermentation Market Size 2024 to 2034

The U.S. precision fermentation market size was valued at USD 1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow from USD 1.43 billion in 2025 to approximately USD 33.89 billion by 2034, registering a double digit CAGR of 46.70% between 2024 and 2034.

Analysis By Regions

Growing Demand for Animal Food Substitutes Drives Europe’s Dominance

Europe dominated the precision fermentation market in 2023. Many people are moving from conventional meat derived from animals to safer and more environmentally friendly meat substitutes. One of the top marketplaces in the world, Europe is investing more and more in the search for and production of animal proteins that are less polluting while yet tasting and feeling like animal goods. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are the top producers of precision-fermented proteins. In order to satisfy the increasing demand for alternative proteins in the area, a number of businesses are also making investments to expand their manufacturing capacities.

Dairy companies that use precision fermentation have begun to apply for pre-market approval in the EU for innovative foods. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has received innovative food applications for dairy proteins generated from precision fermentation from two businesses thus far. This is what we currently know. Remilk, an Israeli dairy firm based on animals, also applied for EU approval of a unique product in 2023. The submission focused on Komagataella phaffi, the yeast in issue, and beta-lactoglobulin, the main whey protein found in cow and sheep's milk.

For instance,

  • In December 2023, as part of the European Innovation Council's Work Programme 2024, which is a component of the bloc's flagship Horizon Europe program, the EU announced a €50 million funding package for startups and small enterprises using precision fermentation. The investment's main goal is to assist these businesses in growing so they can overcome Europe's infrastructure shortage and bottleneck issues. In order to enhance the effectiveness, resilience, and sustainability of the region's supply chain and assist the EU's climate initiatives, the call for applications will open in May.

Advantageous Policies: Asian Countries to Boom in the Upcoming Period

Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR in the precision fermentation market during the forecast period. In order to create proteins and enzymes with broader end applications in the food and beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, China, Japan, and Thailand are using this technique. The market's expansion is also being aided by the implementation of advantageous policies, which calls for diversification and the use of innovative protein production techniques.

For instance,

  • On March 27, 2024, the International Forum on Precision Fermentation concluded two fruitful days in Shanghai, China. Under the theme, Intelligent Biomanufacturing, Shared Future, the T&J Bioengineering-hosted event brought together over 70 eminent professionals from both domestic and foreign fields to explore the future of biotechnology. The event focused on the practical difficulties of scaling up innovative technologies in industrial settings as well as the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in fermentation.

Precision Fermentation Market Segmentation Analysis

Analysis By Application:

The dairy alternative segment held the largest share of the precision fermentation market in 2023. Behind the dairy aisle, a silent revolution is taking place. Animal-free dairy products that taste, look, and feel like genuine things are now possible thanks to precise fermentation, plant-based substitutes are gaining market share, and dairy farms are using high technology to reach new levels of efficiency. Precision fermentation appears to be a crucial component for food producers seeking to more sustainably satisfy the world's expanding demand for dairy products.

Analysis By ingredient

The whey & casein protein segment dominated the precision fermentation market in 2023. The demand for dairy proteins is anticipated to soar as the world's population is forecast to reach 8.5 billion people by 2030 and 9.7 billion by 2050. As a result, conventional dairy production could find it difficult to satisfy these rising needs. Precision fermentation, sometimes referred to as the "Brewing of Proteins," is a method frequently used in the biopharmaceutical sector and in the manufacturing of microbial rennet.

Analysis By Microbe

The yeast segment registered dominance in the precision fermentation market in 2023. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a bacterium known as yeast, is used in the fermentation process to make alcohol. Yeast is used in fermentation because it has enzymes like zymase that can break down carbohydrates without the need for oxygen. The result is the production of carbon dioxide and ethanol molecules. Therefore, brewing companies that make beverages like beer and whiskey need yeast to make alcohol.
