Global Mealworms Market Insights
Global Mealworms Market size was valued at USD 0.13 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 0.16 billion in 2023 to USD 1.27 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 25.8% in the forecast period (2024-2031).
As the COVID-19 pandemic spread to more than 215 countries, it became a global public health emergency. To combat the spread of this disease, many countries declared emergencies and announced complete nationwide, statewide, or citywide lockdowns, halting all travel, transportation, manufacturing, educational institutions, and non-essential trade. These restrictions had a significant impact on many industries, reducing global manufacturing and distribution. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the food industry, affecting meat producers worldwide. Several challenges faced the meat products sector, including the risk of continuing production, distribution, and transportation; a lack of workforce; supply chain disruptions; and delays in development activities. These factors influenced the meat products industry, increasing demand for alternative proteins such as insect protein products (mealworm proteins). The rising greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock and poultry industries, the high nutritional value of mealworms, the environmental advantages of eating edible mealworms, and the lower risk of zoonotic diseases with insect consumption compared to the consumption of animal-derived products are some of the factors driving the growth of this market. However, the possibility of adverse reactions brought on by eating mealworms is anticipated to significantly slow the growth of this industry.
US Mealworms Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

According to our global mealworm market analysis, they are rich in protein, vitamins, and amino acids. Mealworms have the same health benefits as meat or fish. They are high in monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, both of which are essential components of a healthy, well-balanced diet. Many developing countries continue to face significant hunger and malnutrition problems, and a lack of sufficient food energy intake is often caused by a lack of available fat sources. Several edible insect species contain good fats that are easily converted into energy. Insects are also high in calcium, iron, and zinc, and are a good source of protein and vitamins. Such species could be an invaluable part of the diets of people in malnourished countries. Furthermore, some people are unable to digest soy, milk, or egg-derived protein due to allergic reactions. Milk sugar causes severe allergic reactions in some people, such as bloating and diarrhoea. As a result, insects can be good alternatives because they contain amino acids and high protein levels, allowing manufacturers to incorporate mealworm protein into a variety of food products. The growing population in developing countries exacerbates the problem of food security.
