The Algal Pigments Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% from 2019 to 2025 to reach $452.4 million by 2025. The global algal pigments market is majorly driven by factors such as increased adoption of algal pigments to be used in the manufacturing of therapeutic & nutritional products; growing reluctance towards usage of synthetic colors, due to stringent regulations on synthetic colors and hazardous health issues occurred due to usage of synthetic colors; inclination towards usage of clean-label products, growing demand for natural colorants, and need to enhance appearance of the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. Increasing the extraction of phycocyanin is providing significant opportunities for the algal pigments market. However, the high cost of natural colors, complex production procedure of algae, and risk of algae contamination are expected to hinder the growth of the global algal pigments market to some extent.
Presently, synthetic colorants are used in food, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. However, due to problems associated with the harmful effects of synthetic colorants, the exploitation of microalgal pigments as a source of natural colors becomes an attractive option. The success of any pigment production industry depends upon its acceptability in the market, regulatory approval, and the size of the capital investment required for bringing the product to market. The doubt on the successful commercialization of food-grade pigments from microalgae is vanishing because of the biotechnological advancement and low capital investment, thereby supporting the growth of the global algal pigments market.
Increasing utilization of algae pigments due to strict regulations for synthetic colors to drive the growth of the algal pigments market
Synthetic colors and flavors are prepared by chemical reactions. The permitted synthetic colors are safe for consumption, but some vibrant synthetic colors are harmful to human health. Different countries have their own regulatory and legislation system for food colors and flavors. The U.S. prevents the permission for colors and flavors if they found as a carcinogenic. In Australia and New Zealand, all colors and flavors go through safety assessment before they get approval for its use. Similarly, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), an autonomous body established under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, also restrict the use of coloring matter in food until it is pure and free from any harmful impurities. Moreover, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the regulatory agency of EU countries for food safety has banned the use of synthetic colors in the products consumed in EU countries. This is forcing food manufacturers to seek natural food colors for various food and beverage applications, thereby leading to the emergence of microalgal pigment as a source of natural colors.

Key findings in the global algal pigments market study:
Phycocyanin is expected to witness the rapid growth through 2025
Based on type, phycocyanin is expected to witness the fastest growth in the overall algal pigments market. The rapid growth of this market is attributed to factors such as growing demand from food and beverage industry, where it is used as a natural food colorant; rising demand for natural food colorants; growing investment from leading players; and expanding application areas of phycocyanin.
Food and beverages application to dominate the global algal pigments market through 2025
Based on application, food & beverages application is estimated to hold the largest share of the overall algal pigments market in 2019. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to factors such as increasing consumer demand for plant-derived alternatives, stringent regulations against the use of synthetic colors in food products, and properties of algal pigments such as high nutritive value, eco-friendly nature, non-toxicity, and non-carcinogenicity.
Asia-Pacific: The fastest-growing market
Europe is estimated to command the largest share of the overall algal pigments market in 2019, followed by North America, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. The large share of this region is mainly attributed to factors such as huge food and beverages industry; strict regulations against the use of synthetic colors; growing health and wellness trends; large demand for natural colorants from various end-use industries; the presence of number of algal pigment manufacturers; and growing government focus on algae industry. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this region is mainly attributed to the presence of many local and regional players in this region, growing consumption of natural food ingredients, various government initiatives to promote the use of algae, and growing demand for algal pigments from food and beverages industry.
