Commercial Seaweed Market Size
The global Commercial Seaweed market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% during the period 2024-2032. Seaweeds are used as a food source (in several coastal regions), in industrial applications and as fertiliser.

Global Market Likely to be Driven by Multiple Applications, Including in Food, Cattle Feed and Cosmetics
The seaweed industry offers several products with an estimated total annual value over US$ 5 billion. Key uses include those in human consumption, substances extracted from seaweeds (such as hydrocolloids), and fertilizers and animal feed additives. The farming of seaweed has seen rapid expansion as demand outdid the supply presented by natural resources. Commercial harvesting occurs in over thirty countries across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, in waters ranging from cold, temperate, to tropical. Such increase in demand is expected to boost the global commercial seaweed market. Broadly, seaweeds are classified as brown (Phaeophyceae), red (Rhodophyceae) and green (Chlorophyceae), on the basis of pigmentation. Seaweeds are also known as macro-algae; as compared to micro-algae (Cyanophyceae) that are microscopic in size, generally unicellular, and best identified by the blue-green algae that sometimes blossom and contaminate streams and rivers. Seaweeds that grow naturally are often known as wild seaweeds, as against seaweeds that are cultivated or farmed.
