India Microalgae Based Products Market Trends:

Integration of Microalgae in Aquafeed and Livestock Nutrition

Microalgae-based products are gaining traction in aquafeed and livestock nutrition due to their high protein content, omega-3 fatty acids, and bioavailable micronutrients. With India’s growing aquaculture and poultry industries, the demand for sustainable and nutrient-rich feed alternatives is increasing. Microalgae such as Spirulina, Chlorella, and Nannochloropsis are replacing traditional fishmeal and soybean meal, reducing dependence on unsustainable sources. The high digestibility and immunostimulatory properties of microalgae make them valuable in improving animal health, feed efficiency, and disease resistance. Additionally, government initiatives promoting sustainable aquaculture and organic livestock farming are driving the adoption of microalgae-based feed solutions, enhancing India’s food security and environmental sustainability. For instance, in June 2024, CSIR-IICT scientists identified Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) from Chlorella sorokiniana as a high-quality protein supplement for food and feed applications. Microalgae, being under-exploited, do not compete with traditional crops for space or resources. The study highlights CGF’s superior amino acid profile, positioning it as a sustainable alternative protein source. This research supports India’s growing demand for plant-based proteins, benefiting human nutrition and animal feed industries.

Sustainable Product Application

Sustainable product applications drive market trends for microalgae-based products due to increasing environmental concerns, regulatory pressures, and demand for eco-friendly alternatives across industries. Microalgae offer biodegradable, renewable, and carbon-neutral solutions, making them ideal for bioplastics, wastewater treatment, sustainable packaging, biofuels, and natural pigments. Governments and corporations are investing in green technologies, driving research in microalgae-derived bioactive compounds, food supplements, and industrial biomaterials. The growing shift toward circular economy models is further promoting microalgae-based carbon sequestration, bioremediation, and organic agriculture inputs. With advancements in biotechnology and scalable cultivation, microalgae are emerging as cost-effective, high-value alternatives to synthetic ingredients, making sustainability a key driver of innovation and market expansion in the global microalgae-based products industry. For instance, in November 2024, IIT Guwahati researchers developed a sustainable method for ammonium removal from wastewater using microalgae and bacteria. This energy-efficient process eliminates the need for external aeration, reducing energy consumption by 91.33%. The photo-sequencing batch reactor (PSBR) system enables microalgae to produce oxygen, which is used by nitrifying bacteria to convert ammonium into non-toxic byproducts. This breakthrough offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly wastewater treatment solution, addressing pollution from sewage, industrial waste, and agricultural runoff.
