Based on type, the algae products market is mainly segmented into hydrocolloids, algal proteins, lipids, and carotenoids. The algal protein segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2023–2030 due to the growing vegan population, increasing demand for naturally derived or sustainably sourced ingredients, rising application in the food & beverages industry, growing gym-going population, and growing awareness regarding fitness among consumers.

Based on source, the algae products market is segmented into macroalgae/seaweed and microalgae. In 2023, the macroalgae/seaweed segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae products market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the abundant availability of seaweed as raw materials, driven by the increasing production of seaweed and growing awareness of the health benefits associated with seaweed products. Furthermore, the active components derived from seaweeds serve various purposes, acting as antioxidants, antibacterial and whitening agents, anti-aging solutions, and anti-acne treatments, contributing significantly to the growth of the seaweed products market. However, this segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2023–2030.

Based on form, the global algae products market is segmented into dry and liquid. In 2023, the dry algae products segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae products market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the longer shelf-life and ease of transportation and storage of dry algae products compared to liquid algae products and the increasing use of algae powder in the food, cosmetic, and feed industries. However, this segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2023–2030.

Based on application, the global algae products market is segmented into food & beverage, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, animal feed, and other applications. The cosmetics segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2023–2030 due to the rapidly growing global cosmetic industry, the increasing demand for vegan skincare products, and the rising awareness about the health benefits of organic cosmetic products.
