... in volume from 2020 to 2025. These seaweeds are increasingly used in the production of high-grade alginates. The increasing use of alginates in dental products encourages the leading companies to manufacture alginates from brown seaweeds. In the agriculture sector, brown seaweed extracts produce organic fertilizers due to their high potassium content. In the feed products, the usage of brown seaweeds such as kelp enhances livestock's immune system, improves meat quality, the gut health of farm animals, increases the milk production, which helps with weight gain and reduces stress associated with weaning. These factors are projected to drive the market for brown seaweeds.
The major markets for seaweed cultivation are Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. The demand for seaweeds remains high in the Asia Pacific due to increased direct consumption of seaweeds as food and its usage in the processed food industry as a thickening and gelling agent.
Based on the application, the seaweed cultivation market is segmented into food, feed, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and others (including biomass for fuel, cosmetics, integrated aquaculture, and wastewater treatment). The food segment is projected to witness the fastest growth over the next five years, due to the increasing use of seaweeds in food products and its nutrient-rich properties such as high iodine, calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin, antioxidant, and fiber.
Based on form, the seaweed cultivation market is segmented into liquid, powder, flakes, and sheets. Due to their varied applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and feed, the market for liquid seaweeds is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
