Recent developments by key players in Astaxanthin Market:

  • In March 2021, At Branchburg, New Jersey, Lycored increased its assortment of astaxanthin products by introducing an oleoresin produced from Haematococcus Pluvialis algae for soft gels and a cold water-dispersible microencapsulated solution for beverages and dry mixes.

The global astaxanthin market has been witnessing significant growth in the recent years and is anticipated to grow in the coming years. One of the major drivers of the astaxanthin market is the increasing demand for natural antioxidants in various industries such as food, feed, and cosmetics. Consumers have become increasingly aware of the negative consequences of synthetic antioxidants and are opting for natural alternatives. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that can protect cells from oxidative damage, which is one of the leading causes of various diseases. Moreover, the growing demand for dietary supplements and nutraceuticals is also fueling the growth of the astaxanthin market. With the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases, consumers are turning to dietary supplements to improve their health and well-being. Astaxanthin is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce the risk of these diseases. In addition, the rise in aquaculture activities is also driving the demand for astaxanthin. Aquaculture is the food industry's fastest-growing segment, and astaxanthin is used as a feed additive to improve the growth and health of farmed fish and shrimp. As the demand for seafood increases, the demand for astaxanthin is also expected to increase.

However, the high cost of production and extraction of astaxanthin is one of the major challenges faced by the market. Extracting astaxanthin from natural sources such as microalgae is expensive and time-consuming. This makes the final product expensive, which can be a deterrent for consumers. Moreover, the availability of synthetic astaxanthin is also a challenge for the market. Synthetic astaxanthin is cheaper to produce and can be used as a substitute for natural astaxanthin in various industries. This can affect the demand for natural astaxanthin and pose a challenge to the market's growth.
