According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Astaxanthin Market is accounted for $864.2 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $1,651.6 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period. A molecule called a carotenoid, astaxanthin is present in some marine plants and animals. Plants receive their colour from a class of pigment called carotenoid. Astaxanthin, which can be used as a source for dietary supplements, is abundant in algae. Some seafood are coloured red or pink by astaxanthin. Antioxidant astaxanthin aids in lowering oxidation levels in the human body. As a result, producers are using astaxanthin in the production of functional foods and other goods, which is anticipated to stimulate the growth of the worldwide market.
According to China's Fishery Report, China remained the world's largest seafood producer with a production of 65.49 million metric tons. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), Indian pharmaceuticals industry is expected to generate US $55 billion.
Organic food demand is always rising, largely as a result of consumer perceptions that organic food is safer and healthier than conventional food. Due to growing consumer awareness of organic products and the advantages of natural food colours for health, natural food colours are increasingly preferred over synthetic food colours. Consumers increasing health awareness and increased preference for environmentally friendly items are fueling market demand.
Astaxanthin product approval guidelines are very strict. To release their drug, companies must abide by numerous national and international regulations. The use of food and beverages containing astaxanthin has been impeded by government-imposed restrictions and regulations regarding the intake of these compounds, which prolong the approval process of these substances. However, one of the factors impeding market expansion is the high production cost caused by the scarcity of raw materials.
Aquaculture, humans, and animals can all benefit from astaxanthin as a nutritional supplement. Astaxanthin has been widely employed in feed additives and the medical industry because of its antioxidant, colouring, and health-promoting properties. There is mounting evidence that astaxanthin, because of its diverse collective functions in skin biology, offers a number of health benefits and important nutraceutical uses in dermatology. These factors are propelling the growth of the market.
The environment, people, and animals are all in grave peril from adulterated astaxanthin. Animals, unlike plants, cannot generate astaxanthin on their own and must consume it through diet. Furthermore, due to its expensive and labor-intensive production procedure from microalgae, natural astaxanthin may be extremely difficult to develop. Thus, adulteration poses a significant challenge to the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 epidemic increased consumer demand for astaxanthin-containing goods. Many medical professionals recommended using natural astaxanthin since it is an effective anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient that speeds up recovery and boosts patients' gut and overall health as a result of the corona virus' weakening effects on immune systems. Also, the rising prevalence of obesity increased consumer preference for astaxanthin food supplements, which are known to promote metabolism and decrease toxins in the digestive system. This had a favourable impact on the industry environment.
The dried algae meal or Biomass segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the growing demand for algal astaxanthin. Such a high share is due to its wide availability. Few of its natural sources include Krill oil, and Xantho-phyllomyces dendrorhous. The use of biomass for the production of other formulations, the necessity of minimal downstream processing, higher use as animal feed, and convenient bulk production are some key factors driving the segment's growth.
The nutraceuticals segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the increased demand for natural astaxanthin in nutritional products and better antioxidant properties of astaxanthin than other available food supplements. In addition, unhealthy lifestyles, a rapidly aging population, and insufficient intake of essential nutrients are propelling the demand for nutraceuticals.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the presence of highly proactive consumers. High unmet demands, rising astaxanthin production in the area, rising R&D spending, and economic expansion are some of the main factors driving up demand for these items in the area. Also, it is projected that rising urbanisation, high disposable income, and rising interest in natural astaxanthin will boost the market in this region.
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increasing prevalence of nutrition & skin-related diseases. The market is expected to be driven by rapid urbanisation, high consumer discretionary income levels, and rising interest in natural products. Furthermore, a large number of health-conscious people, an increase in the adoption of nutraceuticals, and a well-established cosmeceutical industry are some of the major factors accelerating market growth in the region.
