Global Algal Proteins Market: Overview

Algal proteins are obtained from different types of algae and contain higher nutritional value including essential amino acids, protein, and appropriate nutritional acceptability. Some of the major functional properties of algal include water absorption and fat absorption capability, gelation, foaming capacity, emulsification capacity, among others. In addition, algae are easy to cultivate and grow rapidly and it is possible to control production of some specific compounds by manipulating the cultivation conditions.

Consumers benefit from a healthy dosage of fat and fiber with each serving of algal proteins. Normally, Spirulina or Chlorella microalgae species are consumed. Companies are producing algal proteins via fermentation as they can secure sustainable production processes. These processes can offer twice as much protein as compared to pea, soy and rice proteins.

Algal Proteins Market: Driving and Hampering Elements

Increasing R&D activities by major players for development of alternative sources of protein, coupled with manufacturers approach towards adoption of algal in production of nutritional products in order to cater the ongoing demand for high protein among consumers are major factors expected to drive growth of the global market. In addition, flourishing cosmetic industry and increasing adoption of algal by manufacturers as a harmless and efficient natural protein ingredient in cosmetic products is another factor expected to support growth of the target market to certain extent.

Risk of cardiovascular diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases can be lowered by consuming algal proteins by improving blood lipid profiles. Increasing demand for algal proteins from pharmaceutical manufacturers, owing to its various health benefits is another factor expected to further support growth of the market.

Rising vegan population and increasing demand for alternative sources of proteins other than dairy products or non-vegetarian food are factors expected to spur demand for algal proteins and fuel growth of the target market.

However, stringent government regulations related to product approvals is a major factor that could hamper growth of the global market.

Opportunities and Trends

Increasing investments by some of the prominent players for technological advancements and R&D activities in order to develop innovative products is expected to present new revenue opportunities for manufacturers and raw material suppliers operating in the global market over the next few years.

Key trend in the global market is that manufacturers are focusing on offering the products on online retails platforms to expand their customer base, which is expected to further support market growth.
