The nutritional benefits of insect protein, in comparison with animal-based and plant-based protein, is responsible for the wide adoption of insect protein in the North American and European markets. An evidence to this assertion would be the use of crickets in food application due to their high protein, and the experimentation around the application of varied insects or major feed application. Moreover, the declining production of fishmeal, its fluctuating prices, and the pressure on food security have led to an increasing need for a protein substitute, which is fulfilled by these insects. These factors are projected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Insect protein has gained traction from various firms in the past five years. Multiple capital investors have been willing to invest in emerging insect protein manufacturers. This is due to the rising awareness about the benefits of insect protein and also the necessity to develop alternative sources of protein to meet the rising global demand. Companies such as Cargill (US) and PepsiCo (US) are directing their investment toward this market, which has raised the credibility of insect protein products. In 2019, Cargill (US) and InnovaFeed (France) entered into a strategic partnership to bring sustainable and innovative feed options to the animal nutrition industry. Through the partnership, Cargill (US) and InnovaFeed (France) would collaborate to market fish feed jointly, which includes insect protein. The partnership would also enable both the partners to support the growth of sustainable aquaculture. Established companies have also been investing in start-ups to provide them monetary support for research & development, expansion of their production facilities, and marketing strategies related to brand awareness. In 2017, PepsiCo (US) entered the insect protein market through an investment in a start-up company called Jimini's (UK), a producer of insect-based food products in Europe.

Government initiatives and support encourage companies to invest in insect farming or insect protein-based products and encourage people to include insects in their diets. For instance, in July 2015, the USDA funded a project that focused on insect farming for human food, concentrating on improving the efficiency and lowering costs in farming crickets. The project was led by a Georgia-based company, All Things Bugs LLC, which studied methods to increase automation in raising crickets. The project particularly focused on harvesting, watering, and feed formulations, with end goals to enhance cricket growth while lowering the cost of raising them, which, in turn, can decrease the price of cricket powder. In June 2017, Protix, a Netherlands-based company, raised USD 50.5 million in equity and debt funding in which the major investors were Brabant Development Agency (BOM), Rabobank, and Aqua-Spark, along with other private investors who had participated in the investment.

In response, as general awareness and concern for the loss of tropical forest ecosystems and biodiversity, the government of Papua New Guinea deemed insects a national resource and a candidate for economic development. This policy resulted in the establishment of the Insect Farming and Trading Agency (IFTA) in 1978, which focused on creating income-producing opportunities for villages through non-destructive extraction of forest resources while at the same time creating an incentive for preservation. Thus, with proper regulations and government support, the number of insect farms and protein ingredient manufacturers focusing on insect protein-based food and feed is projected to increase during the forecast period.

The grain protectants market is estimated to be USD 572.7 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 726.1 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.86% from 2018. The grain protectants market is driven by the need to reduce grain losses during storage and the growing market pressure on farmers to gain better grain prices during the post-harvest stage. However, the increasing insect pest resistance to certain active substances and stringent regulations on maximum residue levels (MRLs) emphasize the need to develop new active substances that are more effective and less hazardous to the environment and human health. Investment in R&D for the introduction of new products would be an area of focus in coming years, due to the increasingly positive effects of some biologically sourced products such as INSECTO and Protect-It. These products contain diatomaceous earth (silicon dioxide) and are recognized as an essential component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for stored products.

Certain pest species have developed resistance to chemicals such as organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, and certain other agents such as methoprene and even the biological agent Bacillus thuringiensis. There have been perilous situations in certain regions wherein the insect populations have developed multiple resistance abilities toward protectant chemicals, leaving no options for the use of any effective protectants.
The increasing cost of development and registration of active ingredients would have impact on the market growth,. Currently, a gradual shift is being witnessed from chemical-based pest management to IPM systems, owing to the biological, economic, and sociological influences.

In terms of control methods, the chemical segment is projected to grow at the highest rate from 2018 to 2023, owing to the higher prices and effectivity of chemicals. However, the safety of stored grains cannot depend on a single method due to several factors surrounding post-harvest storage. These factors include pest infestations, pest resistance to the grain protectant chemicals, climatic conditions, and storage conditions. Thus, advanced systems such as integrated pest management (IPM) would be effective in maintaining the quality of stored grains for a longer period.

North America is projected to be the fastest-growing region in the grain protectants market from 2018 to 2023. The region has a major presence of grain protectant manufacturers and has a high demand for corn-based products. Multinational companies are also focusing on marketing their products and services of grain protectants in these regions, through expansions and new product launches, to gain a larger share of the market. Entostat, a proprietary wax micro powder product manufactured by Exosect, has shown unique electrostatic properties.

These natural physical properties have the ability to enhance the target delivery platform for synthetic and biological active ingredients. IPM involves managing the pest population through physical and biological control method techniques; and most of the times, the intervention through chemical insecticides is also required. Various other approaches in the IPM can be utilized for efficient management of insect pests in stored grains. Therefore, strong adoption of IPM practices globally could prove to be a good opportunity for the growth of the grain protectants market.
