Microalgae has been identified as a sustainable alternative for the needs of aquaculture as feed due to the presence of a wide range of biochemical and physiological characteristics. This will likely result in the growth of global microalgae-based aquafeed market.

List of prominent companies that are operating in the global microalgae-based aquafeed market are:

DSM
Cellana Inc
Cargill
Cyanotech Corporation
Algatechnologies ltd.
Corbion
CP Kelco, and other players.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 73% of fish oil and 70% of fish meal is consumed by the aquaculture industry. But, the production of fishmeal declined by 2.4% from 2005 to 2015. This was because of a shift in demand from aquaculture industry. Fortune Business Insights predicts that due to the expensive nature of microalgae products, growth of the market is likely to hamper. The aquafeed additives that are produced from microalgae are considered to be special products due to their high cost. Hence, prominent players from the industry are conducting various trials to increase their efficiency in order to produce cost-effective alternatives to fish oil and fish meal out of microalgae.

The global microalgae-based aquafeed market is divided into four segments, namely, by species, by aquatic animal, by cultivation technique, and by geography. In terms of species, the market is further segmented into chlorella, spirulina, tetraselmis, pavlova, isochrysis, and others. Amongst these, isochrysis, chlorella, tetraselmis, pavlova, and spirulina are the most significant species of microalgae used as aquafeed ingredients.

There has been a trend of using the spirulina species of algae in the aquaculture industry. In terms of cultivation technique, the market is divided into two segments, namely, open and closed systems. For cultivating microalgae that are used in feed applications for livestock, open systems are preferred the most.
