Precision fermentation requires expertise in genetic engineering, bioprocess engineering, and microbiology. Developing and optimizing production processes can be technically challenging and time-consuming.
Initial investment in infrastructure and research and development can be significant. Additionally, the cost of producing compounds through precision fermentation may be higher compared to conventional methods, particularly for niche or specialty products. Precision fermented products might not be widely accessible to the market until the price can reach the current dairy level.
Some consumers may have reservations about products produced using genetically modified microorganisms. Public perception and acceptance of these products could influence market adoption and commercial success. Lots of awareness campaigns and education will be needed
