Lockdowns brought on by COVID-19 had a negative impact on the growth of the global insect protein sector. The pandemic brought about a number of difficulties for the food industry; the global beef market has been particularly hard damaged. The insect protein market has been concerned about the risk of ongoing production, supply, distribution, a lack of labour, and fewer development activities. After affecting 114 nations on March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. As a result, there may be a change in the foods that consumers choose to eat, especially with regard to foods that come from animals.
