Global microalgae market surges as demand rises for nutraceuticals, natural food colors and bio-pro

Growing adoption of spirulina and chlorella, expanding nutraceutical applications, and biorefinery demand fuel market growth at an 8.4% CAGR

The global microalgae market was valued at USD 1.26 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.04 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2025 to 2035, according to recent market research findings. Increasing consumer preference for natural, sustainable, and health-focused ingredients is accelerating the adoption of microalgae across nutraceuticals, food & beverages, cosmetics, and emerging bioplastic applications.

Microalgae are gaining strong traction due to their high nutritional value, rapid growth rates, and ability to produce valuable bioactive compounds such as proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids, and natural pigments. The rising popularity of vegetarian and vegan diets, along with growing awareness of preventive healthcare, is significantly boosting demand for microalgae-based dietary supplements worldwide.

Rising Demand for Natural Food Colors and Nutraceuticals Driving Market Growth

The increasing shift away from synthetic food additives has positioned microalgae as a preferred source of natural food colorants such as phycocyanin and astaxanthin. Spirulina-derived phycocyanin is widely used in beverages, confectionery, dairy, and functional foods, while natural astaxanthin sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis is gaining popularity in nutraceuticals and aquaculture due to its antioxidant properties.

Additionally, the rapidly expanding global nutraceuticals industry is a major growth driver. Microalgae such as spirulina and chlorella are extensively used in supplements due to their immune-boosting, detoxifying, and antioxidant benefits. Strong demand from aging populations, increasing health awareness, and preference for plant-based nutrition continue to support sustained market expansion.

Biorefineries and Advanced Cultivation Technologies Create New Opportunities

Browse in Depth: https://www.meticulousresearch.com/product/microalgae-market-5197

Microalgae are increasingly being adopted in biorefineries for the production of high-value co-products alongside biofuels, improving overall economic viability. Advances in photobioreactor (PBR) technologies are further enhancing productivity, reducing contamination risks, and enabling controlled cultivation, making microalgae production more scalable and efficient.

While open pond systems currently dominate production due to lower costs, photobioreactors are expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, driven by rising demand for high-purity biomass in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Spirulina Leads the Market; Bioplastics Emerging as a High-Growth Application

By type, spirulina is expected to account for the largest market share in 2025, supported by strong demand from dietary supplements and natural color applications. Meanwhile, the bioplastics segment is emerging as one of the fastest-growing applications as industries seek sustainable alternatives to fossil-based plastics.

North America Dominates; Europe Poised for Fastest Growth

North America is expected to hold the largest share of the microalgae market in 2025, driven by high supplement consumption, strict regulations on synthetic additives, and strong presence of algae biomass producers. Europe is projected to register the fastest growth, supported by rising demand for clean-label products and increased investments in natural color solutions.
