Technology Growth Opportunities for Precision Fermentation

Description

Competitive Intensity Enabling Emergence of New High-impact Sustainable Ingredients for Diverse Industries

Conventional fermentation has long been in use, especially for food production. Fermentation applications have expanded to the production of alternate proteins and other ingredients. Traditional fermentation employs microorganisms in their natural state to produce bio-based ingredients for industrial chemicals, biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and personal care products. Alternatively, biomass fermentation involves culturing protein-dense microorganisms where the rapidly grown microbial biomass becomes the alternative protein ingredient. While conventional fermentation is more sustainable and environmentally friendly than chemical synthesis, the process can only produce a limited diversity of ingredients. Other drawbacks include the large volumes of feedstock needed, low yield and purity, expensive and time-consuming upstream treatments, health risks due to inconsistent quality, and adverse environmental impact from the toxic waste and byproducts.

Precision fermentation, the production of ingredients using optimized or genetically engineered strains in a precisely controlled fermentation process, is the new wave in manufacturing. To meet the growing needs for environmentally friendly chemicals and ingredients, novel ingredients with product-enhancing properties, securing the supply chain, and higher productivity, major players in diverse industries are adopting precision fermentation. The scope of this report only covers precision fermentation technologies in the chemicals and materials, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries, the applications with the greatest impact on precision fermentation.

Collaborations and strategic partnerships are enabling substantial growth in this industry. The United States and Europe are leading precision fermentation innovation and adoption. Major industry players focus on scaling up the production of precision fermentation-derived ingredients and reducing the cost of production. Notably, synthetic biology start-ups are increasingly influencing advances in precision fermentation by enabling the designing of ingredients, making the field a promising growth opportunity for biotechnology companies. Advancements in AI, robotics, and synthetic biology technologies are enabling growth opportunities.

Precision fermentation may not entirely replace conventional ingredients, especially in the food and beverage and personal care industries; however, with increased demand for sustainable ingredients in various industries, it will soon become a mainstream production technology, enabling growth among major players.
