Antifreeze proteins are peptides or polypeptides produced by certain organisms that lower the freezing point of water to prevent crystallization in the frozen state. This allows organisms to survive at a temperature below zero degree Celsius without any freezing damage caused by formation of crystals inside its cell. Antifreeze proteins are produced by organisms such as fishes, insects, bacteria, plants, diatoms, nematodes, and others. Antifreeze proteins also protect the cell from mechanical damage, which could result from recrystallization of ice. Inhibition of ice recrystallization is a property, which can be exploited for use of antifreeze proteins in cryopreservation of mammalian cells. Antifreeze proteins work on the principle of adsorption wherein they bind to the ice forming surface and halt the growth of ice crystal formation. On the basis of structure, antifreeze proteins are of five types, namely Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Antifreeze Glycoproteins. Antifreeze proteins have a wide range of industrial applications such as preserving frozen food, cell cryopreservation, cryoprotectant agents in organ transplantation surgery, frost protection in agricultural plants, and others.

Market Dynamics

Market players are focusing on launches of products, which is expected to strengthen their position in the global antifreeze protein market. For instance, in January 2021, Unilever launched around 25 new products ranging from frozen treats to packaged ice cream. Since, antifreeze proteins are used as an additive in frozen food products to maintain structural stability, new product launches in the food and beverage industry is expected to fuel the growth of global antifreeze proteins market over the forecast period.

Market players are involved in several market strategies such as entering into partnership to boost their growth, this is expected to drive the growth of the global antifreeze protein market. For instance, in October 2020, Sirona Biochem, an American biotechnology company, signed an agreement with Global Pharmaceutical Company, Canada to conduct clinical trials for a novel skincare product, TFC-1067, manufactured by Sirona Biochem. The aim of this clinical testing was to check the potential of TFC-1067 to reduce dark spots on the skin. Antifreeze proteins are used in skin creams and oils to maintain the stability of skincare products, thus new developments in cosmetic industry is expected to boost growth of the antifreeze protein market across the globe.
