Market Overview:

Single Cell Protein contains extraction of protein, lipids, vitamins, and biomass from Edible Unicellular microorganisms like Algae, Fungi, Bacteria, and Yeast. These extracts are used on a large scale to improve the nutrition level of food products for humans and animals. Rising population and increasing consumption have resulted in growing stress over the use of natural resources as a food product.

Market Dynamics:

Microorganisms required in producing Single Cell Protein consume limited feedstock and gives output in a short period without causing any damage to nature. This low-cost and environmentally friendly feature has resulted in making Single Cell Protein a clean and sustainable source of protein over other conventional protein sources.

To increase customer base and spend more on research and development Valensa International alliied with Algae Biomass Corp. This merger aimed to create awareness about the use of Single Cell Protein as a sustainable source for nutrient-rich human and animal food.

Segmentation Analysis
