Market News

The increasing product launches and approvals are the major factors that are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period

The increasing launches of products and approvals are expected to drive growth of the global antifreeze proteins market over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2021, AquaBounty Technologies, a U.S. biotechnology company launched genetically engineered salmon, which is the first of its kind in the world and also the only one to be currently available for commercial harvest. This newly developed genetic modification technology will enable the company to produce 70% more salmon than the traditional methods of spawning and breeding. A boost in product launches in the field of frozen fish is expected to boost the antifreeze protein market as these proteins are widely used as a preservative for storage of frozen fish.

Moreover, increasing market strategies by key players such as partnerships, collaborations, and acquisitions are expected to drive the global antifreeze proteins market. For instance, in September, 2020, Sirona Biochem Corp., a U.S. biotechnology company signed a partnership agreement with WuXi Apptec, a biopharmaceutical company based in Shanghai, for scaling up the production of TFC-1067, a novel skincare product for dark spot removal. Skincare products require usage of antifreeze proteins to maintain the stability and texture of the cosmetic product, thus growth in cosmetics industry is expected to fuel the market growth of antifreeze proteins.
