The research report titled, 'Spirulina Market by Product Type (Powder, Tablets, Capsules, Flakes, Phycocyanin), Distribution Channel (Business Channel, Consumer Channel), Application (Nutraceuticals, Food & Beverages, Animal Feed, Cosmetics, Agriculture) - Global Forecast to 2030,' provides an in-depth analysis of the spirulina market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2030.
In terms of value, the spirulina market is expected to reach $1.10 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2023 to 2030, while in terms of volume, the market is expected to reach 102,381.3 tons by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2023 to 2030.
The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing health & wellness trends, the growth of the dietary supplements industry, the rising demand for natural food colors, growing vegetarianism, the impact of spirulina cultivation on the environment, strict regulations regarding the inclusion of synthetic colors and flavors, growing preference for spirulina-sourced products, increasing use of spirulina in aquaculture, and growing investments from natural-color manufacturers. Furthermore, the emergence of new application areas and the growing demand for phycocyanin, spirulina from bio-refineries, and fresh/frozen spirulina are expected to provide significant opportunities for the growth of this market.
The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the spirulina market based on product type, distribution channel, application, and geography.
The spirulina market is segmented by product type (powder, tablets, capsules, flakes, phycocyanin, and frozen spirulina), distribution channel (business channel and consumer channel), application (nutraceuticals, food & beverages, animal feed, cosmetics, and agriculture), and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country level.
Based on product type, in 2023, the powder segment is expected to account for the largest share of the spirulina market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its rising demand from nutraceutical manufacturers due to the growing health consciousness among consumers, the increasing use of spirulina powder as an ingredient in various food & beverage products, the growing popularity of the vegan diet, and adoption of herbal ingredients in cosmetic products.
Based on distribution channel, in 2023, the business channel segment is expected to account for the larger share of the spirulina market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the direct purchase of bulk spirulina in large quantities by various manufacturers, such as nutraceuticals, food & beverages, and animal feed, among others, for further product development.
Based on application, in 2023, the nutraceuticals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the spirulina market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the booming nutraceuticals sector, growing health concerns of the aging population in various countries, growing desire for natural alternatives to traditional pharmaceutical products, and increased awareness among consumers on the link between nutrition and health. However, the food & beverages segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Based on geography, the market is segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The major market share of North America is attributed to the growing awareness among consumers for natural food products, rising strict regulations against synthetic colors, growing demand for nutraceuticals, growth of subsidiary industries, like cosmetics and biofertilizers, increasing preference for natural protein sources, and presence of key spirulina manufacturers with huge production capacities, especially in the U.S.
