Starter Cultures Market to Showcase Continued Growth in the Coming Years
According to MarketsandMarkets, The global starter cultures market size is estimated to be valued at USD 1.0 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1.3 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 5.3%, in terms of value. The growing demand for dairy & dairy-based food and meat & sea food, as well as the increase in consumption of conventional beverages are propelling the demand of starter cultures. With the advancement of new technologies and innovative experiments in the food and beverage sector the usage of starter cultures have been dominant in the European market, due to its high consumption of processed food, whereas the Asia Pacific region is growing fastest owing to new technologies and increase in the export of food and beverages.
Market Dynamics:
Drivers: Increasing production of dairy-based products and meat and seafood
The growing production of dairy-based products and meat & seafood has led to an increase in demand for starter cultures. With the rising awareness of the benefits of using starter cultures and the increasing number of manufacturers, the starter culture market has shown consistent growth over the years.
Starter cultures have been used in dairy applications for a long time. During the manufacturing of cheese, yogurt, butter, and kefir, starter cultures are used for the fermentation process to take place. The drop in pH, which takes place when the bacteria ferment lactose to form lactic acid, has a preservative effect on the product, while at the same time improving the digestibility and nutritional capabilities. Yogurt starter cultures are used to ferment (lactose) to produce lactic acid. This process helps in the formation of milk clots, which are a characteristic of yogurt. Cheese starter cultures mostly consist of thermophilic bacteria, which aid in lactic acid production during the industrial manufacturing of cheese. In addition, acid production is the main factor in the expulsion of moisture from the cheese curd and helps in improving the quality and texture of the cheese produced.

Challenges: Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials
The prices of raw materials for starter cultures are volatile, leading to uncertainty in the food & beverage market. Yeast mainly grows in beet or cane molasses, and these are the main substrates for its production. Since the last few years, the prices of molasses are increasing due to their use in other industrial applications such as feed and bio-ethanol production. Yeast also grows on sugar substrates such as sugar syrups. Thus, an increase in the cost of sugar has a direct impact on the price of yeast starter cultures.
Similarly, in the case of bacteria, the major raw materials include the likes of starch, cellulosic materials, and agricultural wastes. Though agricultural wastes are found in abundance, price fluctuations have been a major issue, along with the quality of these materials. The presence of residues in agricultural wastes has been an area of concern for the manufacturing of lactic acid bacteria. Fluctuations in the prices of starch also affect the production of starter cultures.
The bacteria segment is projected to account for a major share in the starter cultures market during the forecast period
By microorganism, the starter cultures market is dominated by bacteria. Europe is the market leader in the bacteria culture market, mainly due to the large-scale production of dairy & dairy-based products in the region. A majority of the manufacturers of dairy-based starter culture applications are based in the European region, and most of these manufacturers use bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Streptococcus.
Europe is projected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period
European dairy market has played a key role in driving the growth for the starter cultures market, where it holds dominance. Germany and France are key producers of dairy products, ranging from milk to cheese, where they hold the dominant position in the European Union. The production and consumption of cheese in the European Union have had a significant impact on the starter culture market, which plays a key role in extending the shelf-life to support exports to other regions. The different varieties of dairy products in Europe are a key factor contributing to the growth of the market through the deployment of cultures in cheese, fermented milk products, alcoholic beverages, and meat & seafood applications.
