Which factors are restraining the Astaxanthin Market?

Astaxanthin is naturally and artificially created. Synthetic astaxanthin is created using synthetic compounds, which are produced from petroleum products, and is available at a more affordable cost.

Natural astaxanthin is accomplished through a fermentation and extraction procedure involving bacteria, yeast, fungi, marine creatures and algae. Natural astaxanthin is more difficult to produce and more expensive than synthetic astaxanthin, eventually curbing the segment.

Category-wise Insights

Why Dried Algae Meal is gaining the Utmost Traction?

With a CAGR of 25.3% between 2022-2032, the market for Dried Algae Meal is expected to grow due to the development of new bio-based products, the requirement for less downstream processing, the widespread use of biomass to feed livestock, and bulk manufacturing. Virtually all forms of biomass contain astaxanthin from 1% - 5%, which is not only leading to improvements in the use of biomass products but also enhancing their end-use criteria.

How the food industry is contributing to the rise of Astaxanthin?

The food industry is expanding its need for astaxanthin, which is increasingly employed as a food coloring agent and an antioxidant to protect the taste, color, freshness, and quality of foods. Earlier, astaxanthin was used to protect dietary nutrients from degradation, improve sensory qualities, and increase the overall appeal of food goods. Astaxanthin has been approved as an essential raw material for nutritional supplement production in Europe. These factors are paving the way for astaxanthin’s use in the food industry.

How is rapid industrialization of the feed industry proven beneficial for Astaxanthin Market?

For better nutritional benefits for animals, the aquaculture and animal feed sectors rely heavily on feed additives. Astaxanthin is a pigment that gives nutritional value and color to animal feed. In response to this, the market for astaxanthin has been pushed by the industrialization of poultry and aquaculture enterprises, as these end-user industries place a high emphasis on animal health. Increased consumption of various nutritious food products has come from a significant expansion in fisheries and aquaculture production.

Aquaculture is raising the demand for astaxanthin, which improves aquatic species' survival and promotes productivity. The inability to synthesize astaxanthin by marine species and crustaceans resulting in the hunt for alternative sources thereof is anticipated to fuel growth for natural astaxanthin. Natural astaxanthin, which is mostly derived from yeast, bacteria, and algae, is in high demand, particularly in the industrial sector.

Why the Demand for Natural Astaxanthin has been soaring?

The segment's expansion is supported by widespread accessibility, rising demand among consumers for natural health supplements, and the high effectiveness of microalgae such as H. purpuralis. With high carotenoid content and low demands of extraction, microalgae such as H. purpuralis have been used to produce several commercial applications.

Natural astaxanthin is extracted primarily from astaxanthin-containing marine plants like algae and biosynthesized by living microalgae or yeast. It is 3.5 times more expensive than synthetic astaxanthin since it is over 95% esterified. The end-user sector prefers natural astaxanthin because consumers are ready to pay more for higher-quality products. The market for natural astaxanthin increased with a CAGR of 18.3% and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 22.3% during the forecast period.
