Emerging Economies as Key Drivers

Countries across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are expected to provide substantial opportunities for cricket-based food products due to favorable environmental conditions for cricket farming. However, challenges such as regulatory ambiguities and the cultural resistance to eating insects may impede market growth.

Product-Based Market Segmentation

The crickets market is segmented by product into whole crickets, cricket powder, cricket meal, and other products. The whole crickets segment is anticipated to account for the largest share of the market in 2022, driven by the low cost of whole crickets, their availability, and the demand from food manufacturers.

Cricket Powder to Experience the Highest Growth

Cricket powder is projected to be the fastest-growing segment, largely due to its adaptability for use in a wide range of products for both human and animal consumption. The ease of using cricket powder in food applications contributes to its increasing popularity.

Species-Based Segmentation of the Crickets Market

The species segment includes house crickets (Acheta domesticus) and other species, such as Gryllus. House crickets are expected to dominate the market due to their superior nutritional profile, affordability, and growing acceptance as a food source.

Applications of Crickets Across Industries

Crickets are utilized in a variety of applications, including processed whole crickets, animal feed, protein supplements, protein bars, bakery products, snacks, and beverages. Processed whole crickets currently command the largest share of the market due to their high nutritional value and growing consumer interest in cricket-based foods.

Cricket Protein Bars and Protein Shakes in High Demand

Among the application segments, cricket protein bars and shakes are forecast to grow the fastest. This growth is attributed to rising awareness of the benefits of high-protein diets, especially in fitness-focused consumers, and an increasing preference for ready-to-eat foods made from sustainable ingredients like crickets.

End-Use Segment Analysis

The crickets market is divided into human consumption, animal nutrition, and other end-use categories. The human consumption segment leads the market, driven by rising demand for sustainable, high-protein foods that can help meet the global population's dietary needs.

Geographical Breakdown of Crickets Market

The crickets market is regionally segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific is expected to capture the largest market share due to its well-established cricket farming industry and growing cultural acceptance of crickets as food. However, North America is projected to grow at the highest rate, driven by rising demand for environmentally friendly protein alternatives and increasing concerns over the environmental impact of conventional meat production.
