Starter Culture Market – Global Industry Analysis and Forecast (2023-2029)

Starter Culture Market was valued at US$ 1.55 Bn. in 2029. Global Starter Culture Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9 % through the forecast period.

Starter Culture Market Overview:

A starter culture is a microbial culture technique used to make commercially fermented foods. Starter culture is made up of microorganisms that are seeded directly onto food to impart desired attributes to the final product. The starting culture is a sterile medium made out of grains, seeds, or nutrient solutions that are used to colonize microbial growth for fermentation. The starting culture has nutritional benefits in the food components, as well as improved preservation and high economic worth. A Starter culture enables high-quality goods and predictable production schedules. Using different preservation procedures such as fermentation, low-temperature treatment, high pressure & radiation process, salting, and pulsed electric field technology, the starting culture enhances the texture, taste, and color of food and drinks.

Starter Culture Market Dynamics:

Market Drivers: Increased production of dairy products: The need for starter cultures has increased as the production of dairy-based products, as well as meat and seafood, has increased. The starter culture market has seen continuous growth over the past years, because of increased knowledge of the benefits of utilizing starter cultures and an increase in the number of manufacturers. For a long time, starter cultures have been applied in dairy applications. Starter cultures are utilized during the fermenting process in the production of cheese, yogurt, and butter. The reduction in pH that occurs when bacteria ferment lactose to generate lactic acid serves as a preservative for the food which also improves digestibility and nutritional qualities. Increased production of meat and seafood: Starter cultures are commonly used in the manufacturing of meat to standardize product characteristics including flavour and colour, reduce the ripening time, and maintain meat safety. This is also an important driver of the Starter Culture Market. Market Restraints: Strict guidelines for the use of starter cultures: Strict guidelines have proven to be an important restraint to the growth of the starter culture market. The World Trade Organization (WTO) has established strict guidelines for the import and export of live microorganisms. Before producing microorganisms at the industrial level, the manufacturer must get an environment clearance certificate, a quality certificate, and several other associated certificates. Because the starter culture market is high risk in terms of health and the environment, it is difficult for new companies to enter this market. This is a restraining factor for the growth of the Starter Culture Market. Market Opportunities: Possibilities of use in other industrial applications: Currently, starter cultures are utilized in dairy, meat, seafood, and beverage applications. The future second generation of starter cultures is expected to improve its capabilities even further, including vegetables, fruits, and other dietary ingredients. New strain varieties and mixed multi-strain improvements are expected to increase the potential of starter cultures for non-fermented foods and other food varieties. This can be an opportunity for the growth of the Starter Culture Market. Market Challenges: Unstable prices of raw materials: Raw material costs for starter cultures are unstable, causing uncertainty in the food and beverage industry. Yeast develops mostly in beetroot or cane molasses, which are the primary substrates for its manufacturing. Molasses prices have risen in recent years as a result of their use in various industrial applications such as feedstock and bio-ethanol production. In May 2022, DowDuPont developed a dairy cultures series under the brand name Danisco, Howaru Dophilus AG. The dairy culture is animal-free, allergen-free, and suitable for plant-based products. In May 2022, Chr. Hansen launched Sweety® Y-1 which is the first culture that enables dairy producers throughout the world to lower sugar levels in foods, specifically dairy-based products like yogurt. Sweety® Y-1 is a culture solution that produces a natural sweetness similar to lactose in milk.

Starter Culture Market Segment Analysis:

Based on Type, In 2022, the bacteria culture segment dominated the Starter Culture Market with a large market share as end-user demand for bacteria-based starter cultures increased. A fermentation method is used in the bacteria-based starter culture to keep the fragrance, taste, and flavor of the various goods. Lactobacillus bacteria are chosen for starter cultures in cheese production because they increase the texture, taste, and nutritional value of the dish.Global Starter CultureBased on the Application, Because of the growing demand for dairy-based products around the world, the dairy & dairy-based products segment is expected to increase the most in the forecast period. The Starter Culture Market is expected to grow in response to the increased use of starter techniques for a longer shelf-life of dairy products, especially in the cheese sector. Increased use of biotechnological advancements leads to more pleasant taste, colour,  flavours , and nutritional advantages in dairy-based products, enhancing the demand for starter cultures. The non-alcoholic beverages segment is expected to increase at the fastest rate during the forecast period, with a CAGR of 4.6%. Based on the Form, the freeze-dried culture segment dominated the Starter Culture Market because the lyophilization process is used to produce freeze-dried products, which extends the shelf-life and stability of starter cultures. Freeze-dried cultures are easy to store without the use of refrigeration and have low prices, which will drive the global starter culture market. Microorganisms can be stored using freeze-drying without any major physical or biochemical damage. As a result, the use of freeze-dried starter culture has increased. Depending on the needs of the application, these cultures can be simply rehydrated. Freeze drying is utilized in a variety of sectors, including cheese and fermented milk.

Starter Culture Market Regional Insights:
