Under the Blue Revolution program, Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), passed in May 2020, India hopes to increase seaweed production to at least 1 million tonnes annually by 2025 with an investment of roughly $86.8 million. These types of government initiatives lead to high algae production which directly drives the algae products market growth in that region.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

With the heightened focus on health and wellness during the pandemic, there has been a surge in demand for immune-boosting supplements. Algae-derived products like spirulina and chlorella, known for their rich nutrient content and immune-enhancing properties, witnessed increased sales as consumers sought natural remedies to support their immune systems.

The pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains, affecting the availability of raw materials, transportation, and logistics. Algae cultivation and processing operations faced challenges such as labor shortages, restricted movement of goods, and delays in shipments, impacting the production and distribution of algae products. While COVID-19 causes an increased demand for immune-boosting supplements which drives the algae products market growth, it has disrupted the supply chain which hinders its market growth.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted supply chains for key inputs used in algae cultivation, such as fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. Interruptions in the supply of these inputs affected the production of algae-based products, leading to potential shortages and price fluctuations. The conflict disrupted agricultural activities in both countries including crop cultivation and harvesting. Any disruptions in agricultural production in Ukraine may indirectly impact the availability and cost of agricultural inputs used in algae cultivation worldwide.
