3. Market Leaders: Nichirei Corporation. (Japan), A/F Proteins Inc. (US), and Unilever (Netherlands) are Focusing on Research and Innovation Strategies for Capturing Their Share in the Antifreeze Proteins Market

According to MarketsandMarkets, the antifreeze proteins market is projected to reach USD 50 million by 2028 from USD 10 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 37.2% during the forecast period in terms of value. Antifreeze proteins have shown a lot of potential in commercial applications and the food industry is a significant sector where antifreeze proteins can be applied. There are different types of antifreeze proteins available based on their application and usage. For instance, Type I, Type III, Antifreeze Glycoproteins, etc., are some of the types considered in the scope of the report. By using protocols of transgenesis, antifreeze proteins can be introduced in different microorganisms and plants to increase their resistance to cold. Antifreeze proteins help to prevent ice growth and recrystallization, which resolved the tissue damage problem. AFPs are required in a very small amount to perform their functional activity, which helps their use as additives for food end-use application.

Key players in this market include Nichirei Corporation (Japan), A/F Protein Inc. (US), Kaneka Corporation (Japan), Unilever (Netherlands), Sirona Biochem (Canada), ProtoKinetix, Inc. (US), Shanghai Yu Tao Industrial Co., Ltd. (China), Kodera Herb Garden Co., Ltd (Japan), Beijing Huacheng Jinke Technology Co., Ltd. (China), Rishon Biochem Co., Ltd (China), and MyBioSource, Inc. (US). These players have adopted various growth strategies such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, and new product launches to increase their global market presence.
