Seaweed Protein Market size to exceed $850mn by 2030

  • Published Date: September 30, 2022

Seaweed Protein Market size is anticipated to go above USD 850 million by 2030, as per a new research report announced by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Growing efforts to improve overall fitness and enhance immunity will drive the use of protein ingredients in dietary supplements. The utilization of this ingredient has elevated significantly in the food industry as it is an excellent source of amino acids and holds numerous health benefits. Factors like high nutritional value, weight-loss properties, and flavor-enhancing capabilities will increase product uptake in the health & fitness domain.
 

Consumers are also steadily shifting from animal-based meat to plant-based alternatives to meet their protein requirements. This trend will encourage seaweed farmers to increase their production yield in the coming years. There is a rising interest in seaweed farming in the Pacific Northwest, with the number of small commercial seaweed operations likely to double in Oregon and Washington state.
 

High protein content will drive consumption of red seaweed ingredient

Seaweed protein market share from the red seaweed segment is projected to exceed USD 400 million by 2030. The protein content of red seaweed is comparatively high in contrast to other microalgae alternatives. This makes its use ideal in alternative protein products. New research to innovate ingredients for plant-based meat will elevate the product significance. A rapid shift to organic and natural cosmetic products will inspire red seaweed protein companies to expand their production capacity.
 

Advance extraction processes to revolutionize seaweed protein production

Advance extraction process segment is expected to hold over 28% share of the seaweed protein market by 2030. New advanced methods such as ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted method, and pulsed electric field are now used to produce seaweed protein. These techniques offer high extraction capacity and are resonating well with seaweed protein manufacturers. For instance, high-quality derivative products, short processing times, and low solvent needs are expected to be some of the features that will boost the adoption of microwave-based extraction methods in the industry.
