Demand for Phycocyanin to Soar, as an Attractive Color Variant with Superior Properties
Manufacturers are channelizing efforts on production of phycocyanin from Spirulina to gain better market share in this segment. Phycocyanin has been approved by FDA for usage in food and beverages since 2013 and in the last few years, many companies have started producing phycocyanin due to its growing demand. Companies have also started launching new and innovative colors which can propel the market to newer heights.
Phycocyanin from Spirulina became the most attractive color globally owing to its features and texture and is primarily used in the food and beverage industry. European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the regulatory agency of EU countries for food safety has banned the use of synthetic color in food products consumed in EU countries. This has boosted the demand for phycocyanin.
Growing Consumption in Cosmetics and Animal Feed Segments to Bolster Phycocyanin Demand
Phycocyanin, being a natural ingredient is seeing immense traction owing to its myriad applications. Phycocyanin from Spirulina has found application in animal feed, pet food and fish food since animals and pets can easily digest phycocyanin and don’t get allergies or medical problems after consuming it. Phycocyanin from Spirulina, rich in protein, vitamin and minerals has been used as fish feed for many decades. This also reduces the cost of production of fish at a commercial scale owing to increased commercial production of Spirulina and phycocyanin for animal feed.
Phycocyanin from Spirulina possesses anti-oxidants, hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory properties owing to which it is witnessing high demand growth among food, beverage and cosmetics industries. Phycocyanin from Spirulina consists of numerous vitamins, Beta-carotene and antioxidants which are expected to push the demand of phycocyanin in the near future.
Emerging Markets from Asia to Exhibit Potential Growth
Phycocyanin is used in applications such as food coloring, clothing, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, paint additives, paper industry, and cancer research in many countries such as China and India. Moreover, the government of many countries such as India, Angola and Ghana are actively supporting the local spirulina market and building a strong gateway for the development of this super-food which can change the course of the food industry. The increased production of Spirulina has resulted in increased production of phycocyanin. Due to high nutritional content of phycocyanin, many countries have identified it as an economical solution to nutritional deficiencies which support the growth of phycocyanin market. Collectively, both Europe and North America capture the largest share in the market. However, APEJ will exhibit a steady growth trajectory in the phycocyanin market over the forecast period.
