The desire of wealthy investors to invest in developing insect protein manufacturers is driving the development. According to the FAO, at least two billion people eat insect protein in different ways around the world. Shift in market demand for alternative sources of protein, increasing pattern of eating insect-based food, and simple availability of edible insects are some of main growth drivers.

Low environmental stress and the nutritional advantages of insects are also expected to drive up demand. Flexitarians consume less meat and are also more concerned with food quality and sourcing, as are many who buy organic or adopt a paleo diet. This shift in food attitudes is supposed to open up new markets for the insect protein industry.
Grasshoppers, crickets, and locusts are also members of the Orthoptera insect order. Crickets, in particular, have a superior nutrient profile, containing approximately 65 percent protein and providing a total amino acid and critical protein profile. Cricket-derived protein products are increasingly being sold as alternatives to animal-based protein.
In contrast to animal-based protein ingredients, the production of these protein ingredients uses less water and releases less greenhouse gases. Protein ingredients derived from crickets are widely used in protein bars. These ingredients are commonly used as a powder to enhance the taste of protein bars.
