Market Dynamics

Drivers: Rise in seaweed farming practices propelled by global demand

To uplift the socio-economic status of small-scale fishermen, raise the living standard of the coastal community, and to promote the sustainable usage of coastal and marine resources, seaweed farming has become an alternative livelihood option in tropical developing countries. Furthermore, seaweeds grow at a higher rate and do not require fresh water or land space. They also do not require industrial fertilizers and pesticides that pose a threat to the environment. As a result, economical harvesting practices, together with the ease in handling cultivated seaweeds, have further encouraged seaweed farming across key seaweed-producing countries. 

Restraints: Natural calamities hindering the production of seaweeds

The biggest challenge for seaweed manufacturers is the occurrence of natural calamities, which affects the production of seaweeds in the coastal areas of seaweed-producing countries in the Asia Pacific and South American regions. Natural calamities, such as typhoons, floods, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and pests & diseases, affect the productivity of seaweed farming. The occurrence of such calamities is uncontrollable and poses a significant challenge to seaweed farmers. In response to such instances, seaweed farmers have shifted to building artificial ponds in off-marine areas (mariculture), requiring seawater. However, the adoption of such alternatives in cultivation techniques is associated with high costs that pose a financial challenge to the farmers, thereby affecting the scale of seaweed production. 

Opportunities: Increase in technological developments

The cultivation of seaweed is majorly undertaken in the Asia Pacific region. After cultivation, this seaweed is then dried and exported to developed regions such as Europe and North America for further processing and to derive extracts to be used in end-user industries. Also, due to the lack in technology in the Asia Pacific region, labor engagement is higher, which adds to operational costs. Thus, to reduce labor engagement, implementation of new technologies, such as direct seeding technologies, automated harvesters, can be introduced in various Asian countries.

The industry is also moving forward toward the adoption of new trending technologies such as machine learning, IoT, and artificial intelligence, to help improve seaweed production and monitor seaweed biomass and habitat thus, driving the growth of the market. 

Challenges: Toxicity associated with the consumption of seaweeds

The consumption of seaweed extracts and seaweed packaged products harvested from aquaculture has certain harmful effects due to toxic minerals, which lead to health concerns globally. Seaweed products that are sold commercially are majorly in the form of partially dried seaweeds that are packaged in plastic containers and sold in the form of tablets and powder. Seaweeds harvested from wild stock have safety concerns associated due to the presence of heavy metal residues such as arsenic and iodine. Higher intake of these heavy metals present in seaweeds can lead to medical complications, such as cancer, brain damage, gastrointestinal problems, and kidney diseases.

The consumption of excess seaweed increases the quantity of iodine above the required levels. This raises the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, thereby causing serious conditions such as goiter. These health concerns caused by the intake of seaweed products have restricted the consumption of seaweeds, thereby affecting the growth of this industry. 

By form, flakes is the second-fastest growing segment in the market during the forecast period

Seaweeds such as kombu, dulse, kelp, hijiki, nori, and wakame are processed to make flakes. Seaweed flakes have applications mainly in food, as they are increasingly used as salt substitutes. These are mostly used as seasoning agents. In countries such as China and Japan, seaweed flakes are used in food preparations and are eaten raw. Seaweeds provide the human body with magnesium, zinc, vitamin B12, biotin, and iron. They also have medicinal properties to cure diseases such as lung cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes, and obesity. 

By application, dairy sub-segment in the food segment is projected to account for the largest share in the seaweed cultivation market during the forecast period

The seaweeds used in the dairy products under the food segment dominates the application segment throughout the forecasted period. Seaweed extracts such as agar, carrageenan, and alginate have wide applications in the dairy industry. These extracts are used as a thickening and gelling agent in products such as cheese, creams, desserts, ice creams, dairy powder, and dairy drinks. Alginates are also used as stabilizers to improve the viscosity of milk drinks, such as chocolate milk drinks.

Increase in the application of seaweed extracts such as agar, carrageenan, and alginate in processed food driving the market

The food segment is estimated to dominate the market for seaweed cultivation, by application, in terms of value, in 2020. Seaweeds are widely regarded as a health food, owing to the presence of nutrients such as high iodine, calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. This has been driving the market for seaweeds as a source of food in regions such as North America & Europe. In processed food, seaweeds have a wide range of applications: as a thickening and gelling agent in products, such as sausages, bread, creams, cheese, dairy drinks, and candies. Additionally, the use of seaweeds for the manufacturing of low-calorie ice creams and cakes is likely to fuel the market growth.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the seaweed cultivation market size. Exhaustive secondary research was conducted to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments. 

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, various sources such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), European Food Safety Agency (EFSA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), The World Bank, The Seaweed Industry Association of Philippines (SIAP), and Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre/Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) were referred to, to identify and collect information for this study. The secondary sources also included seaweeds manufacturers’ annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and paid databases. 

Primary Research

The market comprises several stakeholders in the supply chain, which include suppliers, manufacturers, and end-use product manufacturers. Various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the market have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. The primary interviewees from the demand side include manufacturers of food & beverage products, feed, agricultural fertilizers, cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, energy, and research institutions involved in R&D; and government agencies. The primary sources from the supply side include seaweed manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, importers, and exporters.

Market Size Estimation

Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the total size of the seaweed cultivation market. These approaches have also been used extensively to determine the size of the various sub-segments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following details:

  • The key players in the industry and market have been identified through extensive secondary research.
  • The seaweed cultivation value chain and market size in terms of both value and volume have been determined through primary and secondary research.
  • All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
  • All macroeconomic and microeconomic factors affecting the growth of the seaweed cultivation market were considered while estimating the market size.
  • All the possible parameters that affect the market covered in this research study have been accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to obtain the final quantitative and qualitative data. 

Data Triangulation 

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process described above, the total market was split into several segments.
