According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Commercial Seaweed Market is accounted for $16.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $28.5 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Seaweed is a good source of iodine, which is rare in other foods or ingredients. The utilization of seaweed and its isolates tends to increase satiety, lowering postprandial glucose and lipid absorption rates in humans, which aids in the creation of anti-obesity foods. Seaweeds are used as ingredients or consumed as foods owing to their anti-microbial properties, which provide a preservative benefit to foods.

According to the Good Food Institute, a US-based non-profit organization that promotes plant- and cell-based alternatives to animal products, in 2020, dollar sales of plant-based food grew by 43%, which increased from $5.5 billion in 2019 to $7 billion in 2020.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising government initiatives

Seaweed cultivation will go a long way in helping the lives of coastal fisher-families, particularly fisherwomen, farmers, and entrepreneurs. Considering these things, many governments worldwide have set up policies and offer funds to support the seaweed industry within the country are the major factors fueling the market expansion.

Restraint:

Environmental risks

Seaweed aquaculture risks include the potential loss of seabed habitat due to equipment required to build seaweed farms, as well as the risk of marine mammals and other large animals becoming entangled in the strands. Noise pollution during harvesting is a huge impediment limiting market expansion.

Opportunity:

Increasing consumption of plant-based products

Commercial seaweed is used in the manufacture of plant-based foods. Plant-based food is a final product made up of plant-based elements like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. These seaweeds help to increase protein content in plant-based products. Therefore, rising consumer consumption of plant-based goods is propelling the market forward.

Threat:

High cost of cultivation

The mixing of plastics from industrial effluents and hazardous waste compounds has significantly increased water contamination. This increases the difficulty of collecting algae from ocean bottoms, raising the price of algae. The high cost of cultivation is expected to restrict industry growth.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely hit many economies around the world. Government measures to combat the pandemic, such as nationwide lockdowns and quarantines, negatively impacted many industries. Most manufacturers of food products in the F&B sector continue to feel the impact of pandemic. Social distancing, self-isolation, and city-wide lockdowns have forced the closures of many establishments in countries.

The powdered segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The powdered segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to it is widely utilized in both cosmetics and food industries. Additionally, powders are simpler to transport and store, which lowers operational expenses and spoilage. Furthermore, increased demand for vegan products is likely to drive segment demand.

The brown seaweed segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The brown seaweed segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its use in industries like agriculture, animal feed. These seeds are mainly utilised as a raw material for the hydrocolloid alginate extraction and as food. The product is also utilised as fillers, emulsifier and thickening are the factors propelling the segment growth.

Region with Largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising consciousness of consumers. The population is largely concentrated in coastal regions, making it strongly related to the sea and its food supplies. However, demand for seaweed as a food source has grown in several parts of the world.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the swift industrialization and presence of environment-friendly regulation. The growing popularity of vegan and vegetarian diets in the region has increased demand for plant proteins in a variety of food products.
