根据 Stratistics MRC 的一项研究,预计到 2025 年,全球食用昆虫市场价值将达到 15 亿美元,到 2032 年将达到 52 亿美元,在预测期内的复合年增长率为 18.8%。

食用昆虫是指那些对人类安全、可作为营养来源的昆虫,这源自于许多文化中延续数百年的传统。它们体积虽小,却富含高蛋白、健康脂肪、膳食纤维、维生素和矿物质。在当今世界寻求永续食物解决方案的背景下,这些小小的生物以一种谦逊低调的方式脱颖而出,其养殖所需的资源远少于传统牲畜。人们捕捞或养殖牠们,将其用作食品配料、零食、粉末和功能性添加剂。从本质上讲,食用昆虫反映了一个永恆不变的真理:大自然常常将最有效的答案隐藏在最微小的形态中,等待我们去仔细观察。

营养价值高

食用昆虫凭藉其无可否认的营养价值,已成为一股重要的推动力量。它们富含完整蛋白质、必需脂肪酸、膳食纤维和微量元素,每克所含的营养价值甚至高于许多传统的动物性食品。在当今追求更清洁、更智慧营养的时代,昆虫提供了一种低调而又极具韧性的解决方案。它们高效的饲料转换率进一步提升了其吸引力,使其成为注重健康、寻求营养且永续食品的消费者的理想之选,这也推动了市场成长。

文化和心理障碍

儘管食用昆虫有许多益处,但它们仍然面临着世代相传的障碍:犹豫、偏见以及对未知事物的抵抗情绪。许多消费者仍受传统观念的束缚,拒绝食用昆虫。要改变人们的态度并非易事,即便在古代文化中,昆虫曾被广泛接受。这需要耐心、教育以及关于永续性的公开对话。心理上的抵触阻碍了市场接受度,并在世界各地造成了一些犹豫不决的现象。这种阻碍真实存在且根深蒂固,它提醒着业界,在尊重人们根深蒂固的信仰的同时,必须进步。

永续性和环境效益

永续性为食用昆虫市场开闢了广阔而充满前景的道路。昆虫的生态足迹极低,所需水、土地和饲料极少,温室气体排放也远低于牲畜。在气候变迁日益严峻的今天,这种高效性无疑是一项强而有力的指南。寻求更环保蛋白质替代品的行业正越来越多地转向以昆虫为基础的解决方案。这种环境优势不仅仅是竞争优势,它更提醒我们,自然界最永续的系统往往是最简单的,等待我们以全新的观点拥抱它们。

监管挑战

儘管市场不断成长,但监管的不确定性却如影随形。许多国家缺乏针对昆虫食品的养殖、加工和标籤的标准化指南。这种监管体系的碎片化造成了延误、合规负担,并阻碍了企业在全球的扩张。缺乏清晰的框架,企业难以自信地扩大规模。监管对于安全和信任至关重要。真正的威胁不在于监管本身,而在于规则制定的缓慢且不平衡。这迫使这个渴望长足进步的行业不得不谨慎前进。

新冠疫情的感染疾病

疫情对食用昆虫市场产生了复杂的影响。一方面,封锁措施扰乱了供应链,导致水产养殖作业延误和分销限制。另一方面,新冠疫情迫使消费者重新思考食品安全、替代蛋白和韧性的生产系统。人们对永续、保质期长且营养丰富的食品的兴趣悄悄增长。虽然最初的衝击造成了一些裂痕,但长期影响已引导该行业朝着更清晰的方向发展。这场危机提醒世界,适应性强、环境友善的蛋白质来源能够在不确定性时期增强未来的粮食系统。

预计在预测期内,昆虫蛋白棒细分市场将占据最大的市场份额。

预计在预测期内,昆虫蛋白棒将占据最大的市场份额,这得益于其便利性和创新性。消费者早已将蛋白棒视为一种方便的营养来源,而添加昆虫蛋白则进一步提升了这种口碑。高蛋白含量、洁净标示定位以及对永续性的关注,使得这些蛋白棒对健身爱好者和环保意识强的消费者极具吸引力。便携性和丰富的口味选择也消除了人们对昆虫成分的疑虑。无需任何烹饪知识即可轻鬆融入日常生活,这使得昆虫蛋白棒成为进入主流市场的理想选择。

预计在预测期内,履带式设备细分市场将呈现最高的复合年增长率。

由于毛虫在包括非洲和亚洲部分地区在内的多个地区的传统饮食文化中扮演着悠久的角色,预计在预测期内,毛虫市场将呈现最高的成长率。毛虫富含蛋白质、健康脂肪和微量营养素,既具有营养价值,也承载文化亲和性。随着商业化生产研究的不断深入,毛虫养殖的潜力也不断扩大。在全球对各种昆虫的兴趣日益浓厚之际,毛虫因其口味温和、市场认可度高以及易于规模化生产而脱颖而出,推动了需求的快速增长。

比最大的地区

由于食品创新环境的快速发展,亚太地区预计将在预测期内占据最大的市场份额。泰国、中国和越南等国家已将昆虫融入主流饮食,这赋予了该地区天然的优势。人口成长、蛋白质需求上升以及政府的支持政策进一步推动了昆虫食品的普及。凭藉蓬勃发展的商业性水产养殖业和强大的出口能力,亚太地区有望继续保持其主导地位。在这里,传统与现代永续性趋势相融合,为持续成长创造了沃土。

预计年复合成长率最高的地区

在预测期内,由于消费者态度的转变、强大的Start-Ups生态系统以及对可持续蛋白质日益增长的兴趣,北美地区预计将实现最高的复合年增长率。从零食到粉末等各种形式的教育宣传活动和创新产品正在打破消费者的心理障碍。该地区对健身营养、健康饮食和环境保护的重视与昆虫食品所蕴含的价值观天然契合。随着监管政策的日益明朗和零售通路的不断拓展,越来越多的消费者愿意尝试昆虫食品。这一发展势头正为昆虫食品的快速稳定成长奠定基础。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Edible Insects Market is accounted for $1.5 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $5.2 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 18.8% during the forecast period. Edible insects are species of insects that are safely consumed by humans as a source of nourishment, drawing on traditions that stretch back centuries in many cultures. They offer dense nutrition-rich protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals-packed into a small footprint. In a world seeking sustainable food solutions, these tiny creatures step forward with modest humility, requiring far fewer resources than conventional livestock. They are harvested or farmed for food ingredients, snacks, powders, and functional additives. At their core, edible insects reflect a timeless truth: nature often hides its most efficient answers in the smallest forms, waiting for us to look closer.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

High Nutritional Value

Edible insects surge forward as a compelling driver because their nutritional density leaves little room for doubt. Packed with complete proteins, essential fatty acids, fiber, and trace minerals, they offer more nourishment per gram than many traditional animal sources. In a time when people are hunting for cleaner, smarter nutrition, insects answer with quiet strength. Their efficiency in converting feed to protein only sharpens their appeal, making them a natural fit for health-focused consumers seeking power-packed, sustainable options. Thus, it drives the growth of the market.

Restraint:

Cultural & Psychological Barriers

Despite their advantages, edible insects face a wall built over generations-hesitation, stigma, and the simple discomfort of the unfamiliar. Many consumers remain bound to traditions that reject insects as food, even though older cultures embraced them freely. Changing minds isn't easy; it demands patience, education, and honest conversations about sustainability. Psychological resistance slows market adoption, creating pockets of reluctance across the globe. This restraint is real and stubborn, reminding the industry that progress must honor the deep-rooted beliefs people carry.

Opportunity:

Sustainability & Environmental Benefits

Sustainability opens a wide, promising path for the edible insects market. Insects boast a tiny ecological footprint-needing minimal water, land, and feed while producing far fewer greenhouse emissions than livestock. In a world straining under climate concerns, such efficiency becomes a powerful beacon. Industries searching for greener protein alternatives increasingly turn toward insect-based solutions. This environmental edge is not just a competitive advantage-it's a reminder that nature's most sustainable systems are often the simplest, waiting for us to embrace them with fresh eyes.

Threat:

Regulatory Challenges

Even as the market grows, regulatory uncertainties loom like stubborn shadows. Many countries lack standardized guidelines for farming, processing, and labeling insect-based foods. This patchwork of rules creates delays, compliance burdens, and hesitations for global expansion. Without clear frameworks, companies struggle to scale confidently. And yet, regulation is necessary for safety and trust. The threat lies not in oversight itself, but in the slow, uneven pace at which rules evolve-forcing the industry to move carefully in a field that longs to advance boldly.

Covid-19 Impact:

The pandemic carved mixed pathways through the edible insects market. On one hand, lockdowns disrupted supply chains, slowing farming operations and limiting distribution. On the other hand, Covid-19 pushed consumers to rethink food security, alternative proteins, and resilient production systems. Interest in sustainable, shelf-stable, nutrient-rich foods quietly rose. While the initial shock created cracks, the long-term effect nudged the industry into clearer visibility. The crisis reminded the world that adaptive, low-footprint protein sources can strengthen future food systems when uncertainty strikes.

The insect protein bars segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The insect protein bars segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, because it merges familiarity with innovation. Consumers already trust bars as convenient nutrition vehicles; adding insect protein simply elevates the profile. High protein content, clean-label positioning, and sustainability credentials make these bars especially attractive to fitness enthusiasts and eco-conscious buyers. Their portability and wide flavor options soften hesitation around insect-based ingredients. By fitting into everyday routines without demanding culinary leaps, insect protein bars become the natural gateway for mainstream adoption.

The caterpillars segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the caterpillars segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to their long-standing role in traditional diets across several regions, particularly in Africa and parts of Asia. Rich in protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients, they offer both nutritional and cultural familiarity. Their farming potential is expanding, supported by increasing research on commercial-scale production. As global interest in diverse insect species rises, caterpillars stand out for their mild taste, established acceptance in certain markets, and promising scalability-fueling a swift climb in demand.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, due to rapidly expanding food innovation landscape. Countries like Thailand, China, and Vietnam already integrate insects into mainstream cuisine, giving the region a natural head start. Growing populations, rising protein demand, and supportive government initiatives further strengthen adoption. Coupled with active commercial farming and strong export capabilities, Asia Pacific stands poised to maintain dominance. Here, tradition and modern sustainability trends meet, creating a fertile ground for continued growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to shifting consumer attitudes, strong startup ecosystems, and rising interest in sustainable proteins. Educational campaigns and innovative product formats-from snacks to powders-are breaking down psychological barriers. The region's emphasis on fitness nutrition, clean eating, and environmental responsibility aligns naturally with the value insects bring. As regulatory clarity improves and retail presence expands, more consumers are willing to give insect-based foods a fair chance. This momentum sets the stage for rapid, steady expansion.
