Market Overview

The practice of growing agricultural products using cells rather than entire animals is known as cellular agriculture. It covers the use of related biotechnologies, tissue engineering, and cell culture to produce products from animal husbandry. Cellular agriculture can address the growing demand for high-quality proteins and healthy foods while enabling improvements in food sustainability, food security, and personalized nutrition. Cellular agriculture produces foods (e.g., meat, dairy, eggs) and other commodities (e.g., leather) from cells instead of intensified livestock production.

 

Tissues, lipids, and proteins that are often produced by traditional land-based agricultural methods are created using the instruments and research discoveries of advanced sciences. It is regarded as a component of the biobased economy and, due to it not using live animals in the process of manufacturing its final products, is more environmentally friendly overall.

 

For instance, in February 2024, A study to optimize, test, and confirm the scalability of hollow-fiber bioreactors for the production of farmed meat products was funded by Campden BRI in collaboration with Cellular Agriculture, a leader in bioreactor technology and creative tissue engineering. A total of £15.6 million will be invested in 32 projects using innovative low-emission food production systems as part of the award from Innovate UK and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The project intends to produce a hollow-fiber bioreactor system prototype demonstrator that will be optimized at Campden BRI's facilities, building on proof-of-concept work performed by Cellular Agriculture (whose primary backer is Hilton Foods Group).

Market Segmentation

The global cellular agriculture market share is segmented into type, technology, and application.

• The isolates segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the type, the global cellular agriculture market is segmented into concentrates, isolates, and textured. Among these, the isolates segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period. Due to meat substitutes having a high protein concentration, which is commonly accepted and requested by protein food and beverage makers, they are accessible as isolates or in their purest form. Canola, rice, peas, and soybeans are among the different sources of protein isolate. Recent years have seen an increase in public awareness of protein-rich diets and meat substitutes due to their advantages for both the environment and human health. The need for protein isolates is being driven by this.

 

For instance. In July 2024. Australian Plant Proteins (APP) has voluntarily entered voluntary administration. APP is the only manufacturer of faba bean and pulse protein isolates grown in Australia. Out of the three commercial-scale plant protein fractionation plants in Australia, APP's facility in Horsham, Victoria, is the largest, generating 1200 tonnes of isolates annually. Companies both domestically and internationally use the ingredients in items including breads, snack foods, breakfast cereals, bakery products, and meat and dairy substitutes.

 

• The cell lines segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR growth through the forecast period.

Based on the technology, the global cellular agriculture market is segmented into growth media, scaffold materials, cell lines, 3d tissue systems, and others. Among these, the cell lines segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR growth through the forecast period. Cell separation, cell source cleaning, mechanical or enzymatic tissue dissociation, cell growth in media, cell characterization, passaging, and the creation of immortalized cell lines are the first steps in the generation of cell lines. To evaluate initial doubling times and survival with passaging, satellite cells from chickens, pigs, fish, and cows were extracted for propagation. Subsets of these cells will undergo additional characterization to enable immortalization. Prospects for this innovative method of food production are immense, and they include less environmental impact, increased food security, and the potential to address pressing global concerns like resource shortages and climate change. As researchers look into and improve the potential of cell lines, this will anticipate future developments and breakthroughs in the field of cellular agriculture that will lead the way for a more resilient and sustainable food system.
