Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid compound that can be extracted from various sources including algae, yeast, krill, salmon, and shrimp. It is known for its antioxidant properties and is used in dietary supplements, skincare products, and animal feed.
The growth of the astaxanthin market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising demand for healthy dietary supplements, and increasing demand from the aquaculture industry. Additionally, the increasing awareness about the health benefits of astaxanthin, the introduction of new products, and the growing popularity of natural ingredients are further driving the growth of the market. However, the high cost of production and the stringent regulations on the use of natural ingredients are restraining the growth of the market.
The global astaxanthin market is segmented based on source, form, application, and region. By source, the market is divided into microbial, synthetic, and natural. The microbial segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing demand for astaxanthin extracted from microbial sources, such as yeast and algae. By form, the market is divided into powder and liquid. The powder segment is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for powder forms of astaxanthin in dietary supplements and skincare products. By application, the market is divided into dietary supplements, food and beverages, animal feed, and cosmetics and personal care products. The dietary supplements segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market during the forecast period.
Geographically, the astaxanthin market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America is anticipated to account for the largest share of the market during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing demand for natural and organic ingredients, the presence of well-established players in the region, and the rising awareness about the health benefits of astaxanthin.

To chase the growing demand for nutraceutical products, the marketplace players are meaningly growing their production capacity and distribution network. Such as, in April 2022, Beijing Gingko Group declared a second-time expansion of its astaxanthin farm capacity in the Pristine region in the last 2 years. This is geared to take full advantage of its production capacity. As well, in April 2021, LEHVOSS Nutrition, an important nutraceutical provider in the U.K., presented the new AstaPure natural astaxanthin CWD. AstaPure aims to play an important part in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.
Likewise, the growing introduction of innovative technologies to boost production is likely to expand the marketplace in the upcoming years. As, ALGAMO produces astaxanthin using photobioreactors and micromodules, to focus on dipping water wastage & saving electricity. Besides, research is being carried out to produce astaxanthin using diverse technologies to identify technical and economic likelihood.
The acceptance of technologically advanced production systems to see the growing demand without compromising the yield and quality of astaxanthin is increasing production. As, Algatech Ltd. is using a sealed system (closed microalgae cultivation system) for the cultivation of microalgae, which eradicates the risk of foreign objects, agriculture residue, and microbial contamination. The availability of high-quality products and high yield will open new avenues for marketplace investors.
Still, various strategic initiatives are being undertaken by marketplace players to announce novel platforms, and products, which are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the regional market. For example, in August 2021, Swedish-Indian start-up Nack launched its digital wellness platform with Immunity Boost, a line-up of two herbal products formulated with real vegetarian protein powder & natural astaxanthin. Furthermore, in August 2020, DRL come into the hospital nutrition segment with the unveiling of Celevida Maxx, a nutrition drink that contains astaxanthin.
