Comprehensive Algae Nutraceuticals Report
Algae are an excellent source of protein with essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and trace elements. They contain high amounts of simple and complex carbohydrates which provide the body with a source of additional fuel. Owing to its above properties, algae are being widely used in nutraceuticals sector. The global algae based nutraceuticals market is estimated to be around $3 billion in 2019.
The growing use of algae biomass for nutraceutical purposes is expected to provide an attractive revenue stream for algae producers. While nutraceutical content in the baseline algae strain is very small, current market values for these products are extremely high.
With increase in demand for algae based nutraceuticals in recent years, there is no comprehensive report that addresses all aspects of algae based nutraceuticals sector. Oilgae, the premier online resource for all information about algae, has hence brought out this report to assist all the professionals in the industry.

Key Takeaways from the Report
What are the key algae nutraceutical products?
- Algae, ranging from single-celled microalgae to large seaweeds, are the simplest and most abundant form of plant life.
- A range of products can be obtained from algae - nutraceuticals, cosmetics and specialty chemicals are some of the most prominent categories.
- Microalgae are predominantly used for the production of nutraceuticals and other dietary supplements.
- Spirulina and Chlorella are the widely used algal sources for the production of Single Cell Protein (SCP).
How to cultivate and process algae nutraceuticals?
- Algae cultivation includes three major processes - cultivation, dewatering/harvesting and drying.
- Algae cultivation can be done both phototrophically and heterotrophically. Phototrophic cultivation is of two types - open pond and photobioreactor.
- Centrifugation is the most commonly used harvesting technique for algal strains grown for high value products.
What is the current market status of algae nutraceuticals?
- The global nutraceuticals market is estimated to rise at a CAGR of 8.3% between 2020 and 2027, accelerated by emerging economies in the Asia Pacific.
- Beta-carotene is a leading carotenoid globally, accounting for $460 million in 2019, with natural β-carotene (from algae) at about 35% of the market.
What are the current and emerging applications?
- Algae nutraceutical products are also used in other industries like agriculture, pharmaceuticals, colorants and additives.
