Tempting food innovators
Insects are seen by innovators as
sustainable and trendy food, while
technology for up scaling is
developed. The mass market will
not be penetrated due to high cost
prices. To gain acceptance,
customer intimacy is important.

2 routes to sustainable growth
A flowering insect industry
Plenty of market opportunities in
different market
segments. Collaboration in
partnerships are s important to
maintain control on and extend
added value & to
manage risks.

Defending existing interests
No chances for growth. Existing
parties on the market defend their
position; resulting in intensive
internal price competition & gradual
scaling.

Flying under the radar
Production facilities technically proved to
scale to high volumes and cost price
reduction, still insects evoke the
resistance of the consumer. Initially feed
and pharma are offering the largest
market opportunities. Food will follow in a
later stage with
unrecognizable applications.
Acceptance:
market, consumer, political, legislation, investors
