Favorable government initiatives and funding to boost research and development will favor the use of these compounds across diverse applications. The demand for algae extracts is considerably high across North America as companies in the personal care and pharmaceutical sectors are developing premium products for Gen X and millennial demographics. In 2019, algae production in North America reached over USD 1.35 billion, indicating the high volume of sources available.
 

With changing dietary habits and fast-paced lifestyle needs, the purchase of dietary supplements may ramp up, especially among the younger population.

A rapid shift in consumer preference for high-quality dietary supplements, self-medication, and a solid rise in disposable income will complement algae extract production.
 

Restraints for the algae extracts market include the availability of a variety of different formulations and alternative products. Customers have access to a broader range of options including commercialized protein products such as pea protein, whey, and casein along with traditional protein sources, that include milk, pork, and beef. Algae as a source of nutrition is a relatively new concept, which is overpowered by well-established sectors with robust supply chains and distribution networks.
