Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Feed Single Cell Protein market size was valued at US$ 463 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 845 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 8.1% during review period.
Feed-grade single-cell protein (SCP) refers to microbial cells used in animal feed, such as yeast, bacteria, mold, and algae. Its production primarily involves fermentation technology, utilizing various organic wastes or industrial byproducts as carbon and nitrogen sources to cultivate microbial cells, followed by collection, separation, and drying to obtain the final product. Feed-grade single-cell protein is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, and can partially or completely replace plant-based or animal-based proteins such as fishmeal and soybeans in animal feed. It provides a sustainable solution, helping to address protein deficiency and food shortages. With the evolution of the SCP industry, feed-grade single-cell protein can be categorized into emerging SCPs and traditional SCPs, each with distinct characteristics in terms of raw materials, microbial strains, production processes, and application scenarios. The gross profit margin is approximately 10-30%.Global sales of single-cell protein for animal feed are projected to reach approximately 150,000 tons by 2025, with an average price of around $3,000 per ton.
Global key players of feed single cell protein include Meihua Holdings Group, Lesaffre, Associated British Foods plc, Angel Yeast, Lallemand Animal Nutrition, etc. The top three players hold a share over 50%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, has a share about33%, followed by Europe, and North America, with share 31% and 23%, separately. In terms of product type, traditional SCP is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 58%, and in terms of application, aquaculture has a share about 47%.
Market drivers primarily include the following:
Traditional Protein Resource Shortage
Global fishmeal production has stagnated, and soybean protein production is limited by arable land. Single-cell protein, however, can be produced from industrial waste gas and agricultural waste, independent of arable land and fishery resources, making it a key pathway for sustainable protein supply. For example, methane fermentation technology converts greenhouse gases into high-value protein, alleviating resource competition and carbon emission pressures.
Environmental Policies and Carbon Neutrality Goals
Countries are promoting emissions reduction in livestock farming. Single-cell protein production processes have 60%-90% lower carbon emissions than traditional proteins and can absorb industrial waste gas, aligning with the trend of low-carbon agriculture. The EU and China have included microbial protein in their 14th Five-Year Plans, accelerating technology implementation through subsidies and tax incentives.
Demand for Efficiency Upgrading in Livestock Farming
The transformation of aquaculture and livestock farming towards intensive, high-density models increases the demand for high-quality feed protein. Single-cell protein has a high amino acid balance and excellent digestibility, reducing nitrogen and phosphorus pollution from animal excrement. Simultaneously, functional components (such as antimicrobial peptides) reduce disease risk, helping the livestock industry reduce costs and increase efficiency.
