Europe Insect Protein Market Growth Factors and Dynamics

• EU Regulatory Approvals: As per the European Union’s Novel Food Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, insect products must undergo evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) before being authorized for sale in the market, ensuring consumer safety and an open process for regulation. Between 2021 and 2023, the EU approved several insect species as food items, including dried mealworms, migratory locusts, house crickets, and lesser mealworm larvae. These approvals have helped companies like Protix B.V., operator of the globe’s largest insect factory in the Netherlands, to expand beyond their existing products to meet EU standards, producing safe, high-quality insect ingredients for human food and animal feed.

• Growing Demand for Pet Food and Aquaculture: Insects are gaining value as ecologically safe, high-protein feedstock to replace conventional feed materials in pet food and aquaculture with environmental benefits as they can be produced successfully and cultivated on organic waste. Protix B.V. in the Netherlands are spearheading this revolution through the production of insect-based ingredients to fulfill the nutritional requirements of animals of different kinds, minimizing the intake of resource-intensive inputs such as fishmeal and soy. Concurrently, UK-based business AgriProtein also has products like MagMeal and MagOil from black soldier fly larvae that offer sustainable feed solutions with lower greenhouse gas footprints and lower land and water usage, enabling more sustainable systems of animal nutrition.

• Circular Economy Support: Insect rearing supports the circular economy through the transformation of organic waste into valuable commodities like proteins and oils to reduce wastage and maximize efficient use of resources. AgriProtein businesses are a classic example by recycling food waste to yield black soldier flies that get processed into sustainable feed products such as MagMeal and MagOil to minimize the environmental impact of waste management and conventional feed manufacturing. Similarly, Protix B.V. applies circular principles to transform organic waste into premium insect protein, which enhances sustainability and aligns with the broader EU goals of resource efficiency and environmental protection.
