Extensive Biological Diversity of Algae Supports Industrial, Agricultural Demands
Mankind has recognized the value of land plants as renewable sources of medicine, food, and other materials for millennia. Microalgae is gaining prominence as a next-gen resource for urgent industrial and agricultural demands. Companies in the microalgae-based products market are increasing efforts to tap into its extensive biological diversity that can be leveraged to produce various bioproducts in the F&B and personal care sector.
Manufacturers in the microalgae-based products market are boosting their output capacities for natural and genetic manipulation of algae to use sunlight for fixing the atmospheric carbon. Photo bio-reactors have become a recurring trend and help microalgae to be more water-efficient than crop plants and can be cultivated on non-arable land with minimal use of freshwater.
Immense Potential in Marine Supercrops Grabs Attention of Manufacturers
The increasing number of marine ingredient startups is innovating in cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals. Israel-based Yemoja has a team of marine biology and biotech experts that are gaining proficiency in high precision and fast-track photo bioreactor technology to expand their business in cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals. Manufacturers in the microalgae-based products market are bolstering their production capabilities to tailor microalgae into desired nutritional compounds and functionalities.
Startups in the microalgae-based products market are producing algae-centered ingredients that are standardized as per any bioactive compound or algae extract involving fucoxanthins, carotenoids, and enzymes. However, the marine supercrops sector is still in its nascent stage, and there is a need to boost the entire microalgae value chain with new varieties and yields.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Since many doctors and scientists opine that COVID-19 vaccines do not make individuals 100% immune to the coronavirus, manufacturers are exploring business streams in antiviral drugs and materials made from microalgae. Manufacturers and startups are transitioning into deep-rooted appreciation of biopharma and marine sciences supported by rigorous R&D in algae cultivation. However, there is an ocean of microalgae species that are not yet discovered and only a dozen of them are commercially available. Hence, companies in the microalgae-based products market need to boost their R&D capabilities to expand their business in marine supercrops, cosmeceuticals, and nutraceuticals.
Microalgae-based Products Market: Overview
Microalgae are unicellular microscopic algae, typically found in marine and freshwater systems living in sediments as well as water columns. Microalgae-based products are used in a wide range of biotechnological applications such as wastewater bioremediation, biodiesel production, and dietary supplements for human and animal nutrition.
Microalgae-based products are widely employed in the production of food & beverages, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals & dietary supplements, chemicals, fuel, and animal feed
Microalgae are a primary source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fish obtain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) via bioaccumulation in the food chain.
According to Transparency Market Research’s latest research report on the global microalgae-based products market for the historical year 2020 and the forecast period 2021 to 2031, rise in usage of microalgae-based products in the nutraceuticals & dietary supplements segment is a key factor that is expected to boost the global microalgae-based products market during the forecast period
In terms of revenue, the global microalgae-based products market is estimated to cross US$ 4.2 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of ~6% during the forecast period
Rise in Demand for Microalgae in Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements: Key Driver of Microalgae-based Products Market
