Antifreeze Proteins Market, By Product Type (Type I, Type III, and Antifreeze Glycoproteins), By Source Type (Fish, Plants, and Insects), By Formulation Type (Solid and Liquid), By End User (Medical, Food, and Cosmetics), and By Region (North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecasting (2016-2028)

Increasing demand from food & beverages and healthcare for various applications is expected to drive the market growth of the antifreeze proteins market during the forecast period.  

The demand for frozen food is growing due to the changing lifestyle, and long and hectic working schedules of consumers. The increasing fish farming in cooler areas, along with the use of antifreeze proteins as effective chemical adjutants in cryosurgery is expected to drive the global antifreeze proteins market during the forecast period.

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) also are known as ice structuring proteins (ISPs). These are a class of polypeptides produced by different species of plants, fungi, bacteria, and fish as a natural survival response to cold temperatures. Antifreeze proteins bind small ice crystals to inhibit growth and recrystallization of ice that damages the cells. Organisms, which contain these antifreeze proteins, can live in extreme climatic conditions and therefore, are called extremophiles.

Antifreeze proteins are used in food & beverages, cosmetics, and in the healthcare industry. However, due to the high cost and complex process of manufacturing, it continues to be a niche market. The growing demand for antifreeze proteins from various industries has created opportunities for new market players to invest in the antifreeze proteins market.
