발효 유래 단백질 시장 : 기회, 성장 요인, 업계 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Fermentation-Derived Proteins Market was valued at USD 6.2 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.1% to reach USD 18.5 billion by 2034.

The broader protein landscape is increasingly shifting toward fermentation-based systems as climate pressures intensify and the food sector accelerates its move away from conventional animal agriculture. Commercial adoption of fermentation technologies has expanded rapidly as companies scale production of alternatives that replicate the characteristics of dairy, meat, and egg proteins. Investment inflows have strengthened the market presence of leading innovators such as Quorn, Impossible Foods, and Perfect Day, while major global food groups-including ADM and DSM-Firmenich have deepened collaboration to improve industrial integration. Sustainability concerns, including greenhouse gas reduction and land-use efficiency, have supported the transition, as research published after 2021 consistently demonstrates the environmental advantages of fermentation-derived proteins compared to traditional livestock systems. Public conversations about antibiotic use and zoonotic risks have driven further interest in fermentation technologies as a strategic component in climate and food-security policy planning.

The precision fermentation segment held a 65% share in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.9% through 2034. Companies rely on precision, biomass, and traditional fermentation platforms to develop highly functional proteins that provide essential foaming, gelling, and melting characteristics. These ingredients are adopted by consumer product firms seeking clean-label reformulations with improved texture, sensory performance, and nutritional value.

The dairy alternatives and ingredient applications segment accounted for a 32% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at an 8.6% CAGR toward 2034. Fermentation-derived ingredients can match or exceed the performance of animal-based proteins across categories such as beverages, baked goods, meat substitutes, and dairy alternatives. Brands integrate these proteins into products to enhance mouthfeel, strengthen emulsification, simplify ingredient lists, and meet regulatory standards, especially in items like sauces, frozen desserts, and ready-to-drink formulations.

North America Fermentation-Derived Proteins Market generated USD 2.3 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach USD 6.9 billion by 2034. The region benefits from strong R&D infrastructure, early commercialization pathways, robust venture capital activity, and receptive distribution networks that accelerate adoption across alternative dairy, egg, and meat products.

Key companies active in the Global Fermentation-Derived Proteins Market include The Better Meat Co., ADM (Archer Daniels Midland), Givaudan, DuPont (IFF), Solar Foods Oy, Perfect Day, Inc., TurtleTree Labs, Quorn Foods, Kerry Group, Standing Ovation, Novozymes A/S, DSM-Firmenich, Cargill, Calysta, Onego Bio, Impossible Foods Inc., Nature's Fynd, Formo, EVERY Company, and Corbion. Companies in the Fermentation-Derived Proteins Market are strengthening their competitive position through aggressive capacity expansion, product diversification, and long-term partnerships with major food and beverage manufacturers. Many are developing proprietary fermentation strains to improve yield, reduce cost, and create differentiated functional proteins. Strategic collaborations with ingredient suppliers and CPG brands help accelerate formulation adoption while reinforcing supply chain stability.
