Growing Demand for Seafood & Integration of Microalgae in Aqua Feed to Boost the Market Growth

Published: Jun 2024

Global microalgae-based aqua feed market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The aqua feed based on microalgae appears promising due to the rising global demand for seafood especially fish.  According to the earth.org, fish farms provide more than half of the fish on the market and feed costs amount to around 90.0% of the cost of raising them. The origins of the food used to raise food fish, as well as other seafood like shellfish, to maturity, have raised concerns as well. A large proportion of fish feed is derived either from terrestrial agriculture or from forage fish harvested from the wild that people might otherwise eat directly.

These factors have led fish farmers to pursue other options for sustaining their charges. Among the most promising are products derived from microalgae. These single-celled organisms, if processed correctly, can offer equivalent or superior nutritional profiles to grain and fish-derived feeds.

In May 2024, Corbion NV has announced the expansion of its partnership with IMCD, a global distribution partner and formulator of specialty chemicals and ingredient to include Corbion products for the food and beverage market in Thailand. This move was taken by the company to meet the growing demand for microalgae-based aquafeed across Thailand.
