Algae Products Market Growth Drivers [https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/algae-products-market-worth-8-07-billion-by-2030-exclusive-report-by-marketsandmarkets-302614073.html]

* Growing Demand for Plant-Based and Vegan Products: As more consumers embrace veganism and plant-based nutrition, algae have emerged as a superior source of plant protein and omega-3s-previously obtained from fish oil.
* Sustainability and Climate Awareness: Algae cultivation absorbs carbon dioxide and requires less land and freshwater than traditional crops. This eco-friendly advantage is attracting investments in bio-based products and circular economy solutions.
* Rising Use in Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements: The increasing adoption of Spirulina and Chlorella supplements for their detoxifying and immune-boosting benefits continues to expand the nutraceutical segment.
* Advancements in Algae Cultivation Technologies: Innovations in photobioreactors, fermentation systems, and genetic engineering are improving yield and cost-efficiency, making algae production more scalable.

Red algae source segment to grow at significant rate during forecast period.

In the algae products market, the most notable red seaweed species with higher protein levels are Porphyra (47% of dry mass) and Palmaria palmata (35% of dry mass). Porphyra tenera and Palmaria palmata are among the most commonly consumed seaweed species in Asia and Western countries because of their high protein content and delicious flavor. Red algae are of great ecological importance, as they play a key role in the food chain and produce about 40% to 60% of the world's oxygen, benefiting both land and aquatic environments. Additionally, red algae have significant commercial value, especially in Japan and the North Atlantic region, where they are regarded as a vital food source.

Animal feed segment to hold significant market share during forecast period.

In the algae products market, the use of algae in animal feed is gaining increasing popularity. Algae-infused aquafeed has shown positive results in both financial terms and nutritional value. According to the Journal of the Institute of Food Technology, incorporating certain species of microalgae into fish diets can reduce their price by 50% and enhance the nutritional value of microalgal biomass. Due to their rich nutritional profiles, microalgae and macroalgae have emerged as sustainable sources of nutrition for domestic livestock and poultry production. These algae varieties offer a diverse range of nutrients, including carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, amino acids, carotenoids, and vitamins.

Asia Pacific to exhibit highest CAGR during forecast period.

The Asia Pacific algae products market is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Key markets in the region include China, Japan, India, and Australia & New Zealand. These countries have extensive coastlines suitable for cultivating both marine and freshwater algae. As a tropical region, the Asia Pacific hosts the greatest variety of algae species (seaweeds), which drives the rapid growth of the algae products market there. Additionally, the region's growing population is likely to increase demand for food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care products, further supporting the market's expansion in the Asia Pacific.

Edible seaweeds are used in food preparations in Chinese and Japanese diets. The most common edible seaweeds cultivated in the Asia Pacific region are Kombu (Laminaria japonica), Nori (Porphyra sp.), and Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida). These seaweeds are used in soups, salads, wet dishes, and as "wrap-up vegetables" for sushi-style rice and vegetables. Additionally, seaweeds are utilized in various industries as hydrocolloids and phycocolloids. Seaweed is utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, cosmetics, biofuels, and animal feed additives. Algae products are an excellent source of primary and secondary metabolites; hence, they have considerable usage in the food and nutraceutical industries, which offer substantial scope for algae products to flourish in the region.
