The Europe Microalgae Market is expected to reach $491.9 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period of 2023–2030. In terms of volume, the Europe Microalgae Market is expected to reach 25,465 tons by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period 2023–2030. The growth of this market is driven by consumer inclination toward health & wellness trends and the growing dietary supplements industry, the rising demand for natural food colors, increasing vegetarianism, the growing nutraceuticals industry, the increasing preference for microalgae-sourced products, and increasing awareness regarding benefits of microalgae. However, low awareness regarding the benefits of microalgae and the complexities in the production of algae products are expected to restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the rising demand for phycocyanin and the growing demand for microalgae among biorefineries are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, contamination risks are a major challenge for the players operating in this market. Additionally, the growing adoption of new production technologies (photobioreactors) is a prominent trend in the Europe microalgae market.
