Fish protein isolate is produced by solubilizing fish protein in alkaline conditions and isoelectric precipitation to produce fish protein isolate with functional properties. The demand for fish protein isolates is increasing from various end use industries such as food & beverages, pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals, personal care, and animal nutrition. The need for fish protein isolates in food & beverages is also growing owing to their incorporation in cereals, protein bars, infant formula, and other fortified food products to improve their nutritional profile for optimal health development. Further, the increasing demand for functional foods, nutritionally enhanced with omega-3 fatty acids, reduced sodium, and high protein content, will fuel the fish protein isolate market growth.
In 2021, North America held the largest share of the fish protein isolates market; however, Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. According to Food and Agriculture Organization 2020 report, Asia Pacific is a significant global aquaculture production market. Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam are among the major aquaculture producers. The markets for nutraceutical products, functional food & beverages, and dietary food supplements registered significant growth in Asia Pacific in the past few years. Consumer awareness regarding antiaging, weight management, and other health concerns is rapidly increasing in the region. Thus, the increased consumption of naturally sourced protein, such as fish protein isolate, has encouraged producers to develop fish protein isolate fortified products.
The imposition of lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic hindered economies and industries in various countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). These shutdowns disrupted global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies announced possible delays in product deliveries and a slump in future sales of their products in 2020. Further, the bans imposed by various governments of countries in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America on international travel forced several companies to discontinue their collaboration and partnership plans. All these factors hampered the food & beverages, personal care, and animal nutrition industries in 2020 and early 2021, which restrained the growth of various markets related to this industry, including the fish protein isolates market.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the supply chains of various industries due to lockdowns and border restrictions imposed by governments of European countries. European manufacturers suffered significant economic losses during the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak due to labor shortages. Moreover, disruption in supply chains caused raw material shortages. Due to the disruptions in the supply chain of raw materials and shut down of manufacturing units, the fish protein isolates manufacturers could not meet the growing demand for their products, creating a demand and supply gap. This factor hampered the profitability of the manufacturers in Europe during the initial months of the COVID-19.

In June 2021, Biomega Group AS, a leading biosciences company producing high-quality ingredients for the global health and nutrition sectors, partnered with Quality Salmon Sotenäs AB, owned by Norwegian-owned Lighthouse Finance AS, to invest in Quality Salmon Industry Park, located in Sotenäs, Sweden. Companies are expanding their production capabilities to meet the rising demand for fish protein isolates across the world. Such strategies are expected to fuel the fish protein isolates market growth during the forecast period.
Based on form, the fish protein isolates market is bifurcated into powder and liquid. The powder segment held the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2028. The powder fish protein isolate is obtained from liquid fish protein isolate. The fish protein isolate is spray-dried to obtain a powder with a neutral odor and good solubility. It has reduced the risk of spillage during manufacturing operations. The powder form of fish protein isolate offers several benefits such as storage stability, easy transportation, and no requirement for special storage conditions.

Based on application, the fish protein isolates market is segmented into food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, personal care, and animal nutrition. The pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals segment held the largest market share in 2021. However, the food and beverages segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Pharmaceutical and nutraceuticals with fish protein isolate are consumed for improving heart health and maintaining brain health. The fish protein isolate is a rich source of omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids and has several antioxidant properties. These nutrients improve insulin sensitivity, which helps keep the body in an anabolic state and reduce body fat without risking muscle loss. Omega-3 helps the body store carbohydrates within muscles, which directly impacts muscle growth. Therefore, fish protein isolates are utilized in health and dietary supplements, sports nutrition, infant formula, and other products.
Advance International Inc, Bio-marine Ingredients Ireland Ltd, PeterLabs Holdings Sdn Bhd, Hofseth BioCare ASA, Sopropeche SA, Copalis Industry SAS, and Biomega Group AS are a few of the major players operating in the fish protein isolates market. These companies mainly focus on product innovation to expand their market size and follow emerging market trends. Such products are expected to gain high traction among consumers during the forecast period.
