Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled ‘Crickets Market—Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast (2024-2031)’. According to this latest publication, the crickets market is expected to reach $5,923.4 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 29% from 2024 to 2031.

The growth of the crickets market is driven by several factors, including their high nutritional value and increasing acceptance among consumers. Additionally, rising greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock and poultry industries, a growing demand for cricket-based food products, and a low risk of zoonotic disease transmission associated with cricket consumption further contribute to this market expansion. However, the absence of a standardized regulatory framework, along with psychological and ethical barriers to insect consumption, restrains the market growth.

In addition, emerging economies in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East & Africa provide growth opportunities for market players. However, the market faces substantial challenges, including a lack of awareness about crickets' benefits. Furthermore, increasing preference for protein-rich diets and environmental sustainability are prominent trends in the crickets market.

By product, the whole cricket segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a share of 47.5% of the market in 2024. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the lower cost of whole insects compared to processed alternatives, their abundant availability, and the increasing demand from protein ingredients and food manufacturers for whole insects to be utilized in various applications and further processing.

By species, the house cricket segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a large share of the crickets market in 2024. The large market share of this segment is primarily driven by the high nutritional value of house crickets in both human and animal nutrition, their cost-effectiveness, and the growing acceptance, approval, and production of this species as a viable food and feed source. Rich in protein, house crickets surpass other cricket species in nutritional content, making them an increasingly popular choice for human consumption and animal nutrition.

By application, the processed whole crickets segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a share of 28.0% of the market in 2024. The large market share of this segment is primarily driven by the abundant availability of whole crickets, the rising consumption of cricket-based foods, and the high nutritional value of crickets for human consumption.

The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising demand for innovative and sustainable food solutions to address the needs of a rapidly growing global population. Moreover, crickets' high nutritional value, the increasing preference for eco-friendly protein sources, and the heightened awareness of the benefits of high-protein foods further contribute to this trend.

By distribution channel, the business-to-business segment is anticipated to hold the dominant position, with a large share of the crickets market in 2024.
