The sea moss market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.96 billion in 2024 to $3.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth during the historic period can be linked to greater consumer awareness of health and wellness, the rising popularity of plant-based diets, increasing focus on immune health, expanded use of sea moss in skincare, and growing demand for sustainable products.
The sea moss market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. During the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, higher demand for plant-based dietary supplements, wider adoption of herbal and holistic remedies, growing interest in detox products, and the rising popularity of seaweed-based diets. Key trends include improvements in sea moss farming techniques, advancements in processing methods, innovations in extraction technologies, enhanced supply chain transparency through technology, and progress in sustainable farming practices.
The growing demand for plant-based dietary supplements is anticipated to drive the expansion of the sea moss market in the coming years. Plant-based dietary supplements are nutritional products derived from plant ingredients, designed to support health and wellness while typically excluding animal-based components. This increased demand is largely fueled by rising consumer awareness about health and wellness, as more individuals seek natural and sustainable options to enhance their nutrition and overall well-being. Sea moss contributes to plant-based dietary supplements by offering a rich source of essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote general health. For example, according to HerbalGram, a US-based international nonprofit organization, total annual sales of herbal dietary supplements in the US increased from $12.018 billion in 2022 to $12.551 billion in 2023, marking a 4.4% growth. Therefore, the rising demand for plant-based dietary supplements is supporting growth in the sea moss market.
Increasing health consciousness is also expected to support the growth of the sea moss market moving forward. Health consciousness refers to an individual's awareness and concern for their health and well-being, often motivating healthier lifestyle choices. This growing awareness is primarily driven by concerns over lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions, leading people to adopt healthier diets and exercise habits to prevent such illnesses. Sea moss aligns with this trend by providing a natural source of key nutrients like iodine, iron, and antioxidants, which help boost immunity, improve digestion, enhance skin health, and promote overall wellness. This encourages more mindful and nutritious daily habits. For instance, a survey conducted in May 2022 by the International Food Information Council, a US-based non-profit organization, involving 1,005 American adults aged 18-80 and Gen Z consumers aged 18-24, found that approximately 52% of participants followed a specific diet or eating pattern in 2022, up from 39% in 2021. The most popular approaches included clean eating (16%), mindful eating (14%), and calorie counting (13%). Thus, the rising health consciousness is fueling the sea moss market's growth.
