Global Edible Insects Market 
The Edible Insects Market was valued at US$ 7260 million in 2022 and it is expected to reach at US$ 1,75,391 million in 2030 at a CAGR of 57% during forecast period 2023-2030.
High-quality food for humans, animals, fowl, and fish includes edible insects. Insects have a high rate of food conversion because they have a cold blood system. Some insects are a good source of complete protein and give vegetarians access to similar important nutrients. For an immediate and severe nutritional shortage in animals, the use of edible insects as animal feed is being studied. Additionally, this possible use aids in the rapid scalability and widespread distribution of animal feed. Due to their significant contribution to the circularity of the food chain, the animal feed made from eatable insects is also sustainable.
