Market Insight

Demand for dairy-based foods, fish, and meat is growing as traditional drinks are consumed.

Asia Pacific region continues to rise at the fastest pace due to increased food & beverage exports and new technologies.

Market Driver

Demand for starter cultures has increased as manufacturing of dairy-based products, as well as meat and seafood has increased. Due to growing number of manufacturers, and consumer awareness towards the positive effect of starter cultures has experienced steady growth in coming years. Starter cultures are used to initiate the fermentation phase in the manufacture of yogurt, cheese, kefir and butter. The decrease in pH caused by bacteria fermenting lactose to form lactic acid serves as a preservative for the commodity while also enhancing its nutritional and digestibility value. Lactic acid is produced by fermenting yogurt starter cultures (lactose). This process aids in the formation of milk clots, a characteristic of yogurt. The adoption of the product in meat products started with the addition of a portion of the finished product to the raw materials, resulting in the reintroduction of that portion of the fermented batch of sausages. This is popular as back-inoculation or back-sloping. Starter cultures are mainly used in the meat industry to standard product features including color and flavor, to accelerate the ripening process, and to ensure product protection.

Market Opportunity

At the moment, starter cultures have  significant demand in the meat, dairy, and seafood industries, as well as in the beverage industry. The incoming second generation of starter cultures is anticipated to expand the capabilities of the bacteria even further by adding fruits, vegetables, and other food substances. Due to the manufacturer's restricted presence in the beef, fish, and alcoholic beverage segments, the current market continues to deliver growth opportunities. Throughout the forecast period, companies including DSM and Chr. Hansen will expand their operations in Asia Pacific in order to strengthen their positions in the starter culture industry. Although starter cultures are currently only applicable to fermented dairy product, food, mixed multi-strain cultures and advances in new strain forms are anticipated to broaden their application to non-fermented products and other types of food.
