Feed grade type segment is expected to witness the fastest growth

It has a higher nutritional value than grain feed, and the market for animal feed has seen a surge in consumption. Since the oil's principal constituents include proteins and micronutrients, it is used to feed animals. The global market has significant potential in the animal feed sector. Significant investments are being made in the market by important companies boosting the segmental growth.

Fermenting invested approximately US$76.5 million in 2020 for the development of its technological and industrial platforms, with an increased focus on the proteins and lipids sector. Therefore, an increase in investments is projected to strengthen the consumption share of the algae oil market in the feed sector.

The product has a lower carbon footprint, emits fewer greenhouse gases, and consumes carbon dioxide, among other environmental benefits. As a result, throughout the projection period, various grades of the product are anticipated to experience a significant increase.

Biofuel accounted for the second-largest market share in 2021

Due to its expanding use as a sustainable fuel, biofuel was forecast to be the second-largest application segment and is expected to capture a sizeable share. Additionally, biofuel is being blended more frequently with other fuels, such as jet fuel, biodiesel, and gasoline, as an alternative renewable fuel. Since it is an environmentally beneficial and low-sulfur fuel generation process, it is a very alluring buyer, typically for countries that do not produce oil.

Furthermore, Animal immunity and excellent health have been dramatically demonstrated by food supplements made from algae oil. A cow was in good health and produced more milk due to the cattle feed made from algae oil. Animals' immune systems are improved and strengthened by the abundance of Omega 3 fatty acids, DHA, and necessary proteins, which can have a favorable effect on agriculture and domestic animal products around the world.

The algae oil market as a biofuel is rising in response to the need for sustainable energy sources. They can be used to extract and synthesize biodiesel, which can be utilized as a significant fossil fuel substitute. The continued study and development of algae as a biofuel could have an impact on the world in a positive way.

Foods & Beverages  is expected to hold the significant revenue share

The widespread use of the product in the production of functional meals and dietary supplements is responsible for growth. Functional foods' nutritional content is greatly influenced by algae oil. Additionally, the demand for dietary supplements is rising as people become more prevention-oriented. Due to their high nutritional content, nutraceuticals aid in cell proliferation, the treatment of oxidative stress and kidney problems, and the preservation of the body's integrity is increased. They will be widely used in the food and beverage industry in the upcoming years. The Algae oil market is currently popular due to its extensive nutritional profile and the popularity of omega-3 components. Due to restrictions on fish oil production, algae oil will continue to be a viable substitute.

The demand in North America is expected to witness significant growth

North America held the highest market share in 2021. Due to variables like increased discretionary income, this market is expanding. Citizens may now purchase algae oil at greater prices owing to increasing income levels. On the other hand, many now use it for cooking or nutraceuticals prepared by it in their daily diets due to the increased rates of issues like obesity, cardiac unrest, cancer, and others.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to experience the quickest growth. The algae oil market expansion is caused by rising living standards, an increase in the population, improved infrastructure, and a rise in public health awareness. One of Asia's greatest advantages over other continents is its enormous population.

On the other side, because biofuel emits less carbon, it has the potential to replace fossil diesel in nations like China and India. Biofuel can assist India and China in meeting their net-zero carbon objectives since they are both under pressure from the western countries due to their significant carbon emission. These factors are bolstering the market growth during the forecast period.
