Black Soldier Fly Market Insights

Black Soldier Fly Market size was valued at USD 180 million in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 240.66 million in 2023 to USD 3285.39 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 33.7% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) is a revolutionary insect species that provide an alternative meal source to the feed industry. Larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (BSFL) can grow on any organic waste and convert it into high protein and lipid manure. It has emerged as a cheaper protein alternative source for animal feed applications due to its high protein content (40-44%) and lipid content (7-36%). Furthermore, high-quality chitin can be derived from defatted BSF exoskeleton, which is also one of the fastest-growing biopolymers.

The expanding aquaculture industry, increasing demand from the animal feed industry for alternative proteins due to rising soymeal prices, and increasing government approvals of insect meal in livestock feed are some of the major driving factors that help to boost demand for black soldier fly. Many government agencies are collaborating to promote a sustainable supply of safe, healthy feed in the global insect feed industry. Some government officials are advocating for the use of BSF-based products in animal feed, which is increasing demand.

Meat producers are focusing on the nutritional aspects of livestock rearing because it controls several aspects of meat quality due to consumer-driven demands for high-quality meat. Black soldier fly is a dry product with a protein content of 50% to 80%, adding to the animal nutrition value. Additionally, it contains amino acids, which are very easily absorbed by animals. Sales of insects for use in animal feed will therefore increase due to increased efforts to improve the quality of meat through nutrient-infused feed. Insect consumption as a source of animal protein is becoming more popular, drawing attention to this trend. Cost-effectiveness is a major factor in why people choose these as meat substitutes for animals.

US Black Soldier Fly Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Black Soldier Fly Market Regional Insights

Asia-Pacific held the largest share of the global black soldier fly market in 2021. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for the majority of the market, owing to rising meat and seafood consumption, a growing aquaculture industry, increased awareness of BSF as an alternative protein source for use in animal feed, and an increase in fish meal prices.

Europe is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period. This region's rapid growth can be attributed primarily to the high demand for protein-rich animal feed; a large supply of waste, including pre-consumer food waste from the agriculture and food and beverage sectors; government approval for BSF products to be used in animal feed, and pet food; and the presence of supportive policies for BSF farming.

The highlighted manufacturers' desire to increase their market share in this sector will drive demand for black soldier fly in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Numerous American manufacturers have increased their production capacity, and many more are in the process of doing so, as interest in the potential use of insects as animal feed in the near future has grown.

Black Soldier Fly Market Dynamics

Black Soldier Fly Market Driver

  • Fish oil and fish meal prices have risen as demand for farmed fish has increased. Insect feed serves as a viable and more profitable protein-rich aqua feed alternative, benefiting market growth as the aquaculture industry expands.
  • Meat quality demands have motivated meat producers to focus on the nutritional aspects of livestock rearing, which control several aspects of meat quality. As a dry product, the black soldier fly contains 50% to 80% protein, which contributes to the animal nutrition value. It also contains amino acids that are easily digested by animals. As a result of increased efforts to improve meat quality through nutrient-infused feed, sales of insects for use in animal feed will boost.
  • Insect-based animal feed products have also been identified as a lucrative prospect for increased profits by investors. As a result of increased investment by investors, manufacturers have been able to increase production capacities in order to meet the growing demand for insects. This growing interest, combined with manufacturers' increasing production capacities, is expected to drive significant growth in insect-based animal feed.

Black Soldier Fly Market Restraint

  • Insect protein is one of the most unusual and promising animal feed proteins owing to its functional, environmental, and nutritional benefits. High costs, legislation, and restricted production capacity continue to be the major obstacles to market growth. Insect-based proteins are generally expensive to generate, and the equipment and techniques required for large-scale manufacturing need to be optimized. Few consumers are willing to pay higher prices for insect protein's health and environmental benefits, but many are priced out of the market.

Black Soldier Fly Market SkyQuest Analysis

SkyQuest’s ABIRAW (Advanced Business Intelligence, Research & Analysis Wing) is our Business Information Services team that Collects, Collates, Co-relates and Analyses the Data collected by means of Primary Exploratory Research backed by the robust Secondary Desk research.

According to our analysis, food scarcity is becoming a major concern around the world as the world's population grows. As a result of the shortage of land for cattle production and water supplies, meeting this rising demand is becoming increasingly difficult. As a result, insect protein is the best feasible substitute for traditional protein because it uses a fraction of the resources. Taste, texture, and appearance are some of the most important sensory characteristics to consider when developing insect protein-based products. Apart from that, rules established by governments and associated edible insect organizations aid in earning consumer confidence by providing assurance of safety and hygiene.
