Algae Products Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Type (Hydrocolloids, Lipids, Carotenoids), Source (Seaweed, Microalgae {Chlorella, Spirulina}), Form (Dry, Liquid), Application (Food & Beverage, Nutraceuticals) - Global Forecast to 2031


Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled ‘Algae Products Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Type (Hydrocolloids, Lipids, Carotenoids), Source (Seaweed, Microalgae {Chlorella, Spirulina}), Form (Dry, Liquid), Application (Food & Beverage, Nutraceuticals) - Global Forecast to 2031’.

According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the algae products market is projected to reach $6.01 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2024 to 2031. The growth of the algae products market is driven by consumers’ increasing preference for algae-sourced products, the growth in vegetarianism, the rising demand for natural food colors, and the rapid growth of the nutraceuticals industry.  However, complexities in algae production and low awareness regarding the benefits of algae restrain the growth of this market. Furthermore, the growing demand for biofuels is expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, the risk of algae contamination is a major challenge impacting market growth.

Additionally, the increasing adoption of algae products is a prominent trend in the algae products market.

Key Players

The algae products market is characterized by a moderately competitive scenario due to the presence of many large- and small-sized global, regional, and local players. The key players operating in the algae products market are Algatechnologies Ltd. (A Part of Solabia Group) (Israel), BASF SE (Germany), BDI BioLife Science GmbH (Austria), Bluetec Naturals Co., Ltd (China), Cargill, Incorporated (U.S.), Cyanotech Corporation (U.S.), DIC Corporation (Japan), Lyxia Corporation (a subsidiary of Shenzhen Qianhai Xiaozao Technology Co., Ltd.)(U.S.), Seagrass Tech Private Limited (India), Tianjin Norland Biotech Co., Ltd. (China), Ingredion Incorporated (U.S.), HISPANAGAR S.A. (Spain), COMPAÑIA ESPAÑOLA DE ALGAS MARINAS S A (Spain), W Hydrocolloids, Inc. (Philippines), SNAP Natural & Alginate Products Pvt. Ltd. (India), and Harsha Enterprises (India).          

The algae products market is segmented by type (hydrocolloids {carrageenan, alginate, agar, and other hydrocolloids}, algal protein, lipids, and carotenoids {astaxanthin, beta carotene, lutein, and other carotenoids}), by source (seaweed/macroalgae {red seaweed, brown seaweed, and green seaweed}, microalgae (spirulina, chlorella, Dunaliella salina, Haematococcus pluvialis, Nannochloropsis, and other sources), by form (dry and liquid), by application (food & beverage {food [dairy, bakery and confectionery, other food products], beverages}, nutraceuticals, cosmetics {skin care, hair care, other cosmetics products}, animal feed, and other applications), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East & Africa). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

Based on type, the algae products market is mainly segmented into hydrocolloids, algal proteins, lipids, and carotenoids. In 2024, the hydrocolloids segment is expected to account for the largest share of 51.1% of the global algae products market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to factors such as the increasing consumption of seaweed-based products, the growing demand for biofuels, the rising demand for natural and plant-based ingredients, and the increasing demand for hydrocolloids from various industries.

Based on source, the algae products market is segmented into macroalgae/seaweed and microalgae. In 2024, the macroalgae/seaweed segment is expected to account for the larger share of 73.8% of the global algae products market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the abundant availability of seaweed as raw materials, driven by the increasing production of seaweed and growing awareness of the health benefits associated with seaweed products. Furthermore, the active components derived from seaweeds serve various purposes, acting as antioxidants, antibacterial and whitening agents, anti-aging solutions, and anti-acne treatments, contributing significantly to the growth of the seaweed products market.

Based on form, the global algae products market is segmented into dry and liquid. In 2024, the dry algae products segment is expected to account for the larger share of 72.1% of the global algae products market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the longer shelf-life and ease of transportation and storage of dry algae products compared to liquid algae products and the increasing use of algae powder in the food, cosmetic, and feed industries.

Geographic Review

This research report analyzes major geographies and provides a comprehensive analysis of North America (the U.S. and Canada), Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Rest of Latin America), and the Middle East & Africa.

In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of 39.2% of the global algae products market. Asia-Pacific algae products market is estimated to be worth USD 1.38 billion in 2024.
