Algae-based supplements have gained popularity among health-conscious individuals due to their potential health benefits. This growth has been further fueled by the growing trend of vegan and plant-based diets, which has resulted in increased demand for natural and nutrient-dense products. Manufacturers have also made significant advancements in processing techniques, making algae supplements more accessible and palatable to consumers.

Diversified product offerings have also catered to consumer preferences, further driving the adoption of algae-based supplements. Ongoing studies have supported the potential health benefits of algae-based supplements, which have increased consumer confidence and the adoption of these products. The demand for sustainable and eco-friendly choices is also driving the adoption of algae-based supplements among environmentally conscious consumers.

The popularity of macro and micro-algal foods has also increased due to their nutritional value and other non-traditional health advantages. Educational campaigns by government and private entities have highlighted the nutritional value of algae, contributing to the increasing adoption of algae-based supplements. Algae-based supplements are also sought after for their skin-enhancing properties, which has led to increased demand among consumers interested in beauty and skincare.

 “There is still little to no information regarding the benefits of algae-based supplements in the underdeveloped parts of the world. Besides this, there are also some concerns regarding the effectiveness of these supplements in the minds of the general population. Key companies in the market must educate people to expand their consumer base and alleviate concerns,” – Nandini Roy Choudhury, Client Partner at Future Market Insights
