概述
2023年,全球天然蝦紅素市場達到8.4億美元,預計2031年將達到15億美元,2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為7.7%。
由於營養保健品、化妝品、食品和飲料以及動物飼料等各行業對天然抗氧化劑的需求不斷成長,天然蝦紅素市場正在經歷顯著成長。天然蝦紅素主要源自雨生紅球藻微藻,以其強大的抗氧化特性而聞名,具有抗衰老作用、增強免疫反應、改善皮膚健康和防止氧化壓力等健康益處。
這導致其在膳食補充劑和功能性食品中的使用不斷增加,特別是在注重健康的消費者和尋求天然解決慢性健康問題和整體福祉的老年人中。由於對天然抗氧化劑的需求不斷成長、注重健康的消費趨勢以及蝦紅素在功能性食品、膳食補充劑和運動營養中的應用不斷擴大,營養保健品領域正在推動市場成長。
在北美,由於人們越來越認知到抗氧化劑的健康益處,消費者擴大轉向天然、增強健康的產品。天然蝦紅素以其抗發炎和抗衰老特性而聞名,在膳食補充劑、功能性食品和飲料中越來越受到關注。隨著人們對天然健康解決方案、永續性和預防性醫療保健的興趣日益濃厚,天然蝦紅素市場預計將在未來幾年強勁成長,尤其是在健康和保健趨勢日益受到關注的新興市場。
動力學
公司發展策略
合作夥伴關係、產品發布和擴張等策略對於加速天然蝦紅素市場的成長至關重要。這些策略幫助公司開拓新市場、增強產品供應並提高生產能力。例如,2024 年,領先的微藻創新和生產公司 AgroSystems(「KAS」)籌集了由 S2G Ventures 領投的 300 萬美元 A2 輪融資。這筆資金將加速 KAS 從微藻中生產天然蝦紅素的開創性方法的商業化,微藻是永續水產養殖系統的關鍵組成部分,也是經過臨床驗證的人類營養保健品。 KAS 已獲得一項創新製程專利,該製程在封閉的垂直槽系統中使用黑暗發酵來生產高品質的天然藻類蝦紅素。
此外,2024 年,天然藻類蝦紅素生產和研究的全球先驅 AstaReal 為瑞典和挪威的消費者推出了其成品配方 Astaxin 的重新命名版本。除了網路商店和保健食品商店外,該補充劑現在也在選定的藥房出售。此外,2023 年,AstaReal 與原物料經銷商 CFM Co. Farmaceutica Milanese 建立了新的合作夥伴關係。合作夥伴關係結束後,希望在其配方中加入 AstaReal 天然蝦紅素的義大利營養保健品生產商將獲得專業的技術、監管、科學和後勤支援。
對天然抗氧化劑和永續水產養殖實踐的需求不斷成長
天然蝦紅素市場主要是由膳食補充劑、化妝品和食品飲料行業對天然抗氧化劑的需求不斷成長所推動的。清潔標籤和天然成分在消費者中越來越受歡迎,導致製造商加入天然蝦紅素,因其強大的抗氧化特性以及對眼睛健康、抗衰老和皮膚保護的益處而受到重視。
全球 EPA 和 DHA Omega-3 組織 (GOED) 注意到,經常使用天然蝦紅素的膳食補充劑行業在 2023 年出現大幅成長,並且越來越關注支持眼睛健康和皮膚護理的成分。消費者知識的不斷成長以及對永續和環保原料的渴望也正在增強市場。
另一個關鍵促進因素是水產養殖中擴大使用天然蝦紅素,特別是在鮭魚養殖中,以增強養殖魚類的色素沉著和整體健康。根據糧食及農業組織 (FAO) 的數據,2022 年全球漁業和水產養殖產量激增至 2.232 億噸,比 2020 年成長 4.4%。
此外,向永續水產養殖方式的轉變和合成添加劑的減少導致人們越來越傾向於使用蝦紅素等天然替代品。這一趨勢與全球生產環保和健康產品的趨勢一致,進一步支持市場擴張。
生產成本高
高生產成本是天然蝦紅素市場的重要限制因素,影響了這種寶貴的類胡蘿蔔素衍生產品的獲利能力和競爭力。天然蝦紅素的生產主要涉及微藻的培養,例如雨生紅球藻,以生產高濃度蝦紅素的能力而聞名。這種種植需要特定的環境條件,包括最佳的光照、溫度和養分可用性,這可能會導致營運成本增加。
例如,根據美國國家醫學圖書館2021年報告,天然蝦紅素的高生產成本以及一些技術問題(所有微藻衍生產品所共有的)目前限制了該成分的大規模生產。例如,歐盟利用微藻雨生紅藻生產天然蝦紅素的成本約為1,672.88美元/公斤。

Dynamics
Development Strategies Adopted by the Companies
Strategies like partnerships, product launches and expansions are pivotal in accelerating the growth of the natural astaxanthin market. These strategies help companies tap into new markets, enhance product offerings and improve production capacities. For instance, in 2024, AgroSystems ("KAS"), a leading microalgal innovation and production company, had raised a $3 million Series A2 funding round led by S2G Ventures. The funding will accelerate the commercialization of KAS's pioneering method for producing natural astaxanthin from microalgae, a key component in sustainable aquaculture systems as well as a clinically proven human nutraceutical. KAS has patented an innovative process that uses dark fermentation in closed vertical tank systems to produce high-quality natural algae astaxanthin.
Additionally, in 2024, AstaReal, global pioneer in production and research of natural algal astaxanthin, had launched a rebranded version of its finished formulation Astaxin for consumers in Sweden and Norway. In addition to online stores and health food stores, the supplement is also now available in selected pharmacies. Moreover, in 2023, AstaReal had started a new partnership with raw material distributor C.F.M. Co. Farmaceutica Milanese. After the partnership, nutraceutical producers in Italy who wish to include AstaReal natural astaxanthin in their formulations will receive professional technical, regulatory, scientific and logistical support.
Rising Demand for Natural Antioxidants and Sustainable Aquaculture Practices
The natural astaxanthin market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for natural antioxidants in the dietary supplement, cosmetic and food & beverage industries. The increasing popularity of clean-label and natural ingredients among consumers has led manufacturers to include natural astaxanthin, valued for its powerful antioxidant properties and benefits for eye health, anti-aging and skin protection.
Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) noticed, the dietary supplement sector, where natural astaxanthin is frequently used, saw substantial growth in 2023, with a rising focus on ingredients that support eye health and skin care. The increasing consumer knowledge and desire for ingredients sourced sustainably and environmentally friendly are also strengthening the market.
Another key driver is the rising use of natural astaxanthin in aquaculture, particularly in salmon farming, to enhance the pigmentation and overall health of farmed fish. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Global fisheries and aquaculture production in 2022 surged to 223.2 million tonnes, a 4.4 percent increase from the year 2020. with astaxanthin being a critical component in fish feed due to its coloring and antioxidant benefits.
Additionally, the shift towards sustainable aquaculture practices and the reduction of synthetic additives have led to an increased preference for natural alternatives like astaxanthin. This trend aligns with the global movement towards eco-friendly and health-conscious products, further supporting market expansion.
High Production Costs
High production costs are a significant restraining factor for the natural astaxanthin market, affecting the profitability and competitiveness of products derived from this valuable carotenoid. The production of natural astaxanthin primarily involves the cultivation of microalgae, such as Haematococcus pluvialis, which is renowned for its ability to produce astaxanthin in high concentrations. This cultivation requires specific environmental conditions, including optimal light, temperature and nutrient availability, which can lead to increased operational costs.
For instance, according to National Library of Medicine, 2021, stated that, the high production cost of natural astaxanthin as well as several technological problems (that are common to all microalga derived products) are currently limiting the mass production of this ingredient. For example, the cost of producing natural astaxanthin using the microalga H. pluvialis in the EU is approximately US$ 1672.88/ Kg.
The global natural astaxanthin market is segmented based on Source, Form, Application, Sales Channel and Region.
Market Growth in Nutraceuticals Driven by Astaxanthin Demand and Innovations
The nutraceuticals segment is driving market growth due to the rising demand for natural antioxidants, health-conscious consumer trends and the expanding applications of astaxanthin in functional foods, dietary supplements and sports nutrition. Nutraceutical companies are increasingly forming alliances with research institutions and biotechnology firms to improve astaxanthin extraction technologies and develop innovative product formulations.
Additionally, there is a growing trend towards natural, plant-based and sustainable ingredients in the nutraceuticals market. Natural astaxanthin, derived from sources like microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis), appeals to consumers who prefer natural alternatives over synthetic antioxidants. With its strong scientific backing and expanding applications across functional foods, supplements and sports nutrition, natural astaxanthin is poised to play a significant role in the future of the nutraceuticals market.
High Demand for Natural Astaxanthin from North America
