Spain is emerging as a dynamic player in the Single Cell Protein market, particularly in the animal feed and aquaculture sectors. The country’s extensive coastline and strong fisheries industry make SCP a strategic fit as an alternative to fishmeal in aquafeed. Spanish startups and research institutes are increasingly exploring microbial fermentation as a method to produce high-quality SCP from low-cost feedstocks like agricultural residues. The government's support for agri-food innovation under its Recovery and Resilience Plan further enhances growth prospects for SCP technologies.
One of the challenges Spain faces is the relatively slow acceptance of SCP in the human food chain, due largely to conservative consumer behavior and regulatory caution around novel foods. However, the increasing awareness of environmental issues and resource efficiency is creating space for SCP to be seen as a viable protein source in functional foods. With continued investment in R&D and growing collaboration between the public and private sectors, Spain is expected to witness gradual integration of SCP into sustainable food systems.
