Nisin Market Analysis
The global nisin market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.45% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027).
COVID-19 pandemic hurt the global nisin market badly. The closure of packaged food production units to curb the virus spread led to a drastic fall in demand for preservatives like nisin. However, the demand for packaged products rose during the period, but the demand could not be met with supply. The restrictions on the movement of goods and transportation services also disrupted the supply chain of the global nisin market. Moreover, strict regulations regarding the operations of laboratories hampered the production rate of nisin itself. Furthermore, the poor performance of the tourism and hospitality sector affected the market indirectly. However, the market is showing a quick recovery after the relaxation of restriction measures and is expected to surpass the earlier growth rate quickly.
Nisin is a polycyclic antibacterial peptide that is produced by the fermentation of food-grade bacteria. It is commercially used as a food preservative. Nisin is widely used in processed food, majorly in dairy products, canned food, and meat products, to increase the shelf life of the food products.
Some of the key players in the packaging industry, such as Mondi Group (Austria), BioCote (U.K.), etc., are incorporating anti-microbial preservatives like nisin as packaging ingredients in ready-to-eat products. These are often referred to as anti-microbial packaging materials and are part of recent technology 'Active Packaging.'
