Global Algae-Based Animal Feed and Ingredients Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Global Algae-Based Animal Feed and Ingredients Market, By Type (Feed, Feed Ingredient), Distribution Channel (Offline, Online), Application (Poultry, Swine, Ruminant, Aquaculture) – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Analysis and Size

Over the last decade, there has been a considerable growth in awareness of the nutritional benefits of seafood, which has raised the consumption rate of aquaculture products. Aquaculture goods, particularly farmed salmon and shrimp, are very nutritious food sources that contain considerable amounts of vital proteins, vitamins (A, B, D, and Niacin), and minerals (iodine, iron, phosphorus, and zinc). As a result, increased demand for aquatic products will drive the aquaculture industry, resulting in market growth over the forecasted period.

The algae-based animal feed and ingredients market was valued at USD 2.58 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 4.52 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 7.30% in 2022-2029. The market report curated by the Data Bridge Market Research team includes in-depth expert analysis, import/export analysis, pricing analysis, production consumption analysis, and climate chain scenario.

Market Definition

Algae (also referred as suspended plants) are a group of organisms that produce energy through photosynthesis, including algae from eukaryotic cells and algae from prokaryotic cells. Algae-based Animal Feed and Ingredients are algae-based animal feeds. Spirulina and chlorella are the most often utilised algae for animal feed nowadays. They are both high in nutrients and are incorporated to entire foods, snacks, and supplements for pets.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Algae-Based Animal Feed and Ingredients Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increased Requirement of Algae-Based Animal Feed for Animal Health

Proper nutrition or ingredient consumption helps keep domestic animals stress-free and encourages excellent milk supply high in protein and fat. It is divided into two categories: forage and fodder. Including algae in cows' diets resulted in less natural degradation of unsaturated fatty acids and a higher concentration of these beneficial chemicals in meat and milk. Another significant example is the feeding of algae rich in omega-3 fatty acids to chickens, which then circulates through the food chain, resulting in the presence of this cholesterol-lowering chemical in eggs. It has also been stated that algal animal feed is used in food for cats, dogs, aquarium fish, decorative birds, horses, cows, and breeding bulls. Algae have a promising future as a source of animal feed. Algae are a high protein, nutritious, natural, and low-cost food choice for animals that have the potential to replace the current expensive grains supplied to animals. These chemicals prevent vitamin shortages and improve the pace of growth of animals as well as their health and well-being. Therefore, the market is estimated to flourish over the forecasted period due to this factor.

Increased Meat and Dairy Consumption

The market is being pushed by rising meat and dairy production and consumption and the high nutritional value of aquaculture products, which has resulted in an increase in demand. Therefore, the increased meat and dairy production and consumption are expected to drive market expansion.

Furthermore, the increasing meat and dairy production and consumption coupled with the increasing consumption rate of aquaculture products will further propel the growth rate of algae-based animal feed and ingredients market. Additionally, the surging expansion of animal feed as well as the agriculture industry, rising expenditure capacity of consumers will also drive market value growth.

Opportunities

• Implementation of Policies and Research And Development and Awareness

Furthermore, the implementation of favorable government policies promoting the utilization of quality animal feed extends profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the extensive research and development (R&D) activities and the surging awareness regarding the health benefits of algae-based ingredients in animal feed will further expand the future growth of the algae-based animal feed and ingredients market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Health Conditions Associated with Red Meat

On the flip side, various studies have connected red and processed meat to an increased risk of various health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, infections, Alzheimer's, renal, lung, and liver illness, and diabetes. This will have a detrimental influence on the market as a whole, which will create hindrances for the growth of the algae-based animal feed and ingredients market.

• Drawbacks Associated with Algae

The high cost of production and the impact of climatic conditions on algae production may slow the market's growth rate.

• Lack of Awareness

Also, the lack of awareness regarding the health benefits of algae-based animal feed and ingredients are anticipated to prove to be a demerit for the algae-based animal feed and ingredients market. Therefore, this will challenge the algae-based animal feed and ingredients market growth rate.

COVID-19 Impact on Algae-Based Animal Feed and Ingredients Market

The coronavirus moderately impacted the algae-based animal feed and ingredients market. At the beginning of the pandemic, the biggest challenge that manufacturers encountered during the pandemic was supply chain interruptions, a lack of workers, partial or entire closure of industrial facilities, and difficulties in procuring raw materials. The supply-chain disruption had a temporary negative impact on sales. Due to distribution channel weaknesses, the last mile connectivity to small and medium-scale animal farms has experienced a setback.

However, demand for algae-based animal feed and ingredients is likely to rise dramatically in the next years because algal products are known to boost human immunity, and thus increasing consumer knowledge of algae goods is expected to drive sales. The COVID-19 disease has resulted in greater health awareness and consumer expenditure on the use of healthy food products. As a result, the post-COVID period is likely to positively impact market growth. Additionally, the detrimental impact of COVID-19 is progressively fading, with some of the largest markets gradually returning to normalcy.
