North America Fish Protein Hydrolysate Market Analysis and Opportunities by 2027

The North America fish protein hydrolysate market is accounted to US 139.9 Mn in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period 2019 – 2027, to account to US$ 215.6 Mn by 2027.

Fish protein hydrolysate is a bioactive compound that is a blend of degraded proteins extracted by the hydrolysis of protein extracted from fish material or fish. It is generally produced through enzymatic hydrolysis technique that involves decomposing the minced fish together with enzymes, and the hydrolysis process gives out smaller peptides and amino acids as major products. The enzymatic hydrolysis requires the use of expensive enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, pepsin, alcalase, and trypsin, which increases the cost of production. The dried fish protein hydrolysate manufacturing involves a complex process of removal of moisture content and results in substantial energy requirements, which boosts the cost further.

Market Insights

There is a rising interest in fish protein hydrolysate from end-user industries, especially to aid skin health through micronutrients. Growing consumer preference toward the consumption of nutritious and chemical-free food products is anticipated to boost the market growth in the coming years. Along with extensive use in food industries, the fish protein hydrolysate are also used in the production of several animal feeds. The fish protein hydrolysate is also used as a binding agent in pet food products. As fish protein hydrolysate is a rich source of micronutrients; it is known for exhibiting anti-aging properties for skin, controlling blood pressure levels, and enhancing the growth of bone in animals. Fish protein hydrolysate finds its applications in the organic cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries, which provide wider growth opportunities for the manufacturers operating in the FPH market. Considering its multiple benefits as nutritional supplement, cosmetic ingredient, etc., fish protein hydrolysate is termed as an organic nutricosmeceutical substance. Owing to the wide application of fish hydrolysate, there is consistent growth in the supply chain over the years, and this is expected to continue during the forecast period.    

Technology Insights

The North America fish protein hydrolysate market is segmented on the basis of technology into acid hydrolysis, autolytic hydrolysis, and enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis segment holds the largest share of the market. The process proves to be the best way of hydrolyzing fish parts, especially fish skin, without losing their nutritional importance. It is especially a preferred method in the pharmaceuticals and food industries as it does not leave toxic chemical or organic solvent residues in the product solution. Stages involved in enzymatic hydrolysis start with the choice of a right enzyme, followed by the preparation of substrate, measuring the rate of enzymatic reaction, homogenization of working solution, deactivation of endogenous enzymes by warming the working solution, and termination of the enzymatic reaction, followed by the hydrolysis of fish protein. Commercial enzymes such as trypsin, alcalase, pepsin, pancreatin, papain, and thermolysin are used in the enzymatic hydrolysis.

Form Insights

The North America fish protein hydrolysate market is segmented on the basis of form into powder and liquid. The powder segment holds a larger share of the North America fish protein hydrolysate market. Demand for fish protein hydrolysate in the powdered form is greater than that for the liquid form as the former exhibits a longer shelf-life, and ease of transportation and storage.

Source Insights

The North America fish protein hydrolysate market is segmented on the basis of source into tuna, sardine, Atlantic salmon, crustacean, and others. Tuna is a saltwater fish that belongs to the Mackerel family. It has unique pink to dark red flesh, and its meat has a rich flavor and flaky texture with high oil content. It has a high vitamin D and fatty acid content, with decent low-fat protein content.

Application Insights

The North America fish protein hydrolysate market is segmented on the basis of application into animal feed, pet food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and others. The animal feed segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2018. The emergence of transmissible diseases in livestock such as beef, cattle, and cows has led to an upsurge in the incorporation of supplementary additives in feed for increasing feed assimilation, followed by enhancing immune response and improving valuable microflora; this drives the North America fish protein market for the animal feed additives segment. The demand for animal feed for uplifting growth performance and improving protein content boosts the growth of the market for this segment.
