Innovations and Emerging Trends Shaping the Global Microalgae Cultivation Market
Leading companies are focusing on developing fully integrated cultivation platforms that combine cultivation, real-time monitoring, harvesting, and downstream processing in one unified system. These platforms are designed to enhance biomass yields, maintain product consistency, and enable sustainable large-scale production of high-value microalgae compounds.
For example, in August 2025, French biotech firm Microphyt SAS inaugurated an industrial-scale biorefinery under its SCALE project. The facility uses exclusive closed photobioreactor technology covering over 5,000 square meters to cultivate multiple microalgae strains, producing more than 100 tons per year of natural active ingredients. Its sustainable design includes solar energy self-consumption and circular resource reuse while allowing precise growth condition control to ensure consistent biomass quality. This facility exemplifies the industry's move towards scalable and environmentally responsible microalgae production.
