DUBAI, U.A.E /PRNewswire/ -- The demand for ingredients derived from natural sources will increase, creating opportunities for increasing microalgae applications in the food sector.

As per a study by Future Market Insights (FMI), the demand for microalgae in the food and beverages sector will total US$ US$132.5 Mn by 2031, expanding at a 2.9% CAGR between 2021 and 2031. Demand will be sustained by steadily growing consumer interest for high-quality and natural ingredients in food and beverage products.

A combination of health benefits is often linked with microalgae due to their anti-inflammatory properties, abundance of antioxidants, and hypolipidemic factors. Besides this, studies confirming benefits of microalgae in preventing the onset of chronic diseases because they are rich in Vitamin A, C, and E will guarantee scope for expansion of the market in the near future.

In addition to vitamins, microalgae have anti-cancer properties and help in the prevention of diseases including Alzheimer's, macular degeneration, and arthritic symptoms. A higher awareness about these health benefits will spur the sales of microalgae in the food and beverage sector.

Driven by a myriad of health benefits and high protein content, Spirulina has established its identity as a 'superfood' in the food and beverage industry. Being a rich source of vitamins such as A, B, C, E, and K, and minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, and zinc, Spirulina is identified as a healthy additive in food and beverages industry.

FMI projects Spirulina to account for over 41% of the demand for microalgae in food and beverages sector in 2021. Growth will continue amid rising focus on making ingredient list cleaner to woo consumers and authorities for certifications.

As per FMI's regional analysis, demand for microalgae is anticipated to rise considerably in the U.S. market. Approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on various types of microalgae will further promote its application during the forecast period. In addition, presence of major global food industries in the U.S. will support the demand for microalgae in the company years.

"Rising applications of microalgae in functional foods, bakery, and dairy products will continue augmenting the market growth during the forecast period. Driven by these some of the leading food and beverages brands are likely to introduce microalgae in their ingredient list," says the FMI analyst.
