![]() |
Algaculture Market |
The global Algaculture Market is
estimated to be valued at US$ 8.14 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR
of 14.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report
published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Microalgae are unicellular
microorganisms which can be cultivated for their high nutritional value
proteins, vitamins, antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids and pigments
through algaculture. Microalgae have applications in food, feed and supplements
industries due to their nutritional advantages.
Market key trends:
One of the key trend in the
Algaculture market is the increasing demand for algal bioproducts and their use
in aquafeed. Fishmeal and fish oil prices are volatile due to supply
uncertainties and overfishing concerns. Microalgae help address these
sustainability concerns of the aquaculture industry as they can be used as
fishmeal replacements in aquafeed formulations. Microalgae contain high quality
proteins, lipids and micronutrients that support aquatic animal growth and
health. Their use reduces pressure on wild-catch fisheries and supports
circular bioeconomy.
Segment Analysis
The global algaculture market is
segmented based on type into marine macroalgae, freshwater algae, and
microalgae. Among these, the microalgae segment dominated the market in 2020
and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Microalgae
have higher growth rate, shorter life cycle, and higher nutritional value
compared to other types of algae. They can be grown in closed photobioreactors,
which allow for large-scale and controlled cultivation. Spirulina microalgae in
particular is widely cultivated and used commercially due to its high protein
content.
Key Takeaways
The Global
Algaculture Market Share is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting
a CAGR of 14% over the forecast period, due to increasing demand for biofuels
and nutrients from algae. The market size for 2023 is US$ 8.14 Bn.
Regional analysis - North America dominates the global algaculture
market currently due to presence of major companies in the region and growing
research and production activities. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the
fastest rate during the forecast period. Countries such as Japan, China, India,
and Indonesia are focusing on developing commercial scale cultivation of
microalgae.
