Nisin Market

The global nisin market size was valued at $317.9 million in 2020, and is expected to garner $638.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.3% from 2021 to 2030. In 2020, the powder segment accounted for more than half of the total market share. Nisin is a mixture of closely related natural antimicrobial polypepties produced by strains of lactococcus lactis. Lactis can be digested into amino acids by protease in human intestines and stomach. Nisin is a natural antimicrobial agent, which has been widely studied for food applications such as a dairy preservative.    

Nisin has been used in a wide range of processed foods such as cured meat, dairy products, plant protein foods, canned foods, and heat treated/air-tightly packed foods.

Nisin is a naturally derived additive used in a wide range of products, such as snacks, bakery, confectionery, meat, seafood, poultry, and others, to preserve natural characteristics of food and increase the shelf life of food products for storage. In addition, nisin is used to avoid spoilage during transportation. Traditional natural ways of preservation include freezing, boiling, smoking, pasteurizing, pickling, and others.

Sugar and salt are the earliest natural ways of food preservation that efficiently reduce the growth of bacteria in food.

Increase in disposable income leads to requirement of high standard of living. Further, the demand for nutritional and quality food is increasing due to rise in urbanization, increase in working population, and hectic & busy schedule of people as they do not have much time to prepare food manually. Products, such as instant noodles, frozen meals, packaged snacks, dairy products, soft drinks, energy drinks, and baked food, are integral part of our daily life. The nisin market demand for food preservatives is also expected to rise due the rise in food & beverages products as these foods contain various additives and preservations to increase shelf life of the products, maintain the quality, and reduce the spoilage by various microorganisms. 

Moreover, consumer preference toward organic food and food with zero preservatives over conventional food, such as ready-to-eat food and packaged food, is expected to restraint the nisin market growth.

Strong global concerns about the coronavirus pandemic have largely but negatively influenced the global nisin market. Moreover, due to the high demand and low supply trends, the prices of additives increased in 2020 to overcome economic instability. On the contrary, disruptions to the supply chain in shipping could lead to temporary shortages in the supply, putting upward pressure on prices in the short term.
