Antifreeze Proteins Market Trends, Market Share, Industry Size, Growth, Opportunities and Market Forecast – 2022 to 2028

The Antifreeze Proteins Market is estimated at USD 4 million in 2021; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 36% to reach USD 27 million by 2028. Antifreeze proteins, also known as ice-structuring proteins, are defined as a class of polypeptides produced by several species of plants, bacteria, fungi, and fish as a natural survival response to cold. This protein binds to small ice crystals and inhibits cell-damaging ice growth and recrystallization. Organisms containing these antifreeze proteins can live in extreme environments, so they are called extreme bodies. Antifreeze proteins are complex proteins made up of sugar groups attached to impart an electric charge. These proteins are classified into type I, type II, and Type III according to their structural properties. There is also growing evidence that AFP interacts with mammalian cell membranes to protect against cold damage. Antifreeze proteins are produced by certain plants, fish, insects, bacteria, and fungi, allowing them to survive in extremely cold environments. Antifreeze proteins are heavily used in the frozen food and beverage industry to prevent food spoilage. They are found in fungi, bacteria, some plants, fish, and insects.
