Coverage: (Product/service)

Products using macroalgae (seaweed) or microalgae for commercial use (food, health food [nutraceuticals]) and industrial use (for primary industry, for next generation applications), blue carbon stored by algae, technologies pertaining to blue carbon

Research Target:

Macroalgae (seaweed) and microalgae farms [enterprises], macroalgae (seaweed) and microalgae brand manufacturers, blue carbon projects, government agencies, industry associations, research institutions

Research Content:

This report examines the global algae industry—encompassing both macroalgae (seaweed) and microalgae—as a pivotal sector within the sustainable bioeconomy. Growth is increasingly driven by diverse industrial applications, ranging from nutraceuticals and aquaculture feeds to renewable biofuels and bioplastics, alongside critical environmental services such as blue carbon sequestration.
