概要

海藻タンパク質の世界市場規模は、2024年の8億4,000万米ドルから2033年には28億米ドルに成長し、2026年から2033年の予測期間中に14.31%の堅調な年間平均成長率(CAGR)を示すと予測されています。

海藻タンパク質市場は、従来の動物性タンパク質に代わる持続可能で栄養価の高い代替品として、植物性タンパク質に対する認識の高まりに牽引され、著しい拡大が見込まれています。消費者の健康志向や環境意識が高まるにつれ、海藻由来のタンパク質に対する需要が急増しています。必須アミノ酸、ビタミン、ミネラルを豊富に含む海藻タンパク質は、菜食主義者やベジタリアンを含む多様な食嗜好にアピールする魅力的な栄養プロファイルを提供します。このような植物性栄養へのシフトは、製品開発における技術革新を促進し、海藻タンパク質を組み込んだ様々な飲食品アプリケーションの創出につながると予想されます。

さらに、持続可能性と環境保全への注目の高まりが、海藻タンパク質市場を前進させています。海藻栽培は、陸上作物に比べて土地や淡水資源を最小限に抑えることができ、環境への影響が少ないことが認識されています。世界人口の増加が続く中、持続可能な食料源の必要性はより重要になっています。二酸化炭素を吸収し、海洋の健康に貢献する海藻の能力は、持続可能なタンパク源としての魅力をさらに高めています。このような世界の持続可能性の目標との一致は、海藻の養殖と加工技術への投資と研究を誘致し、市場の成長を促進すると思われます。

さらに、家畜生産者が従来のタンパク質源への依存を減らしながら飼料の栄養価を高めようとしていることから、動物飼料産業における海藻タンパク質の可能性が注目されています。海藻タンパク質を家畜の飼料に組み込むことは、成長パフォーマンスを向上させるだけでなく、家畜の健康全般にも貢献します。市場が成熟するにつれ、海藻生産者、食品メーカー、研究者の協力は、海藻タンパク質の可能性を最大限に引き出すために不可欠となると思われます。このように、海藻タンパク質市場の将来は、健康、持続可能性、イノベーションの融合によって特徴付けられ、今後数年間で大きな成長が期待できます。

Global Seaweed Protein Market size is anticipated to grow from USD 0.84 Billion in 2024 to USD 2.8 Billion by 2033, showcasing a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.31% during the forecast period of 2026 to 2033.

The seaweed protein market is poised for remarkable expansion, driven by the growing recognition of plant-based proteins as sustainable and nutritious alternatives to traditional animal proteins. As consumers become more health-conscious and environmentally aware, the demand for seaweed-derived protein is surging. Rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, seaweed protein offers a compelling nutritional profile that appeals to a diverse range of dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian diets. This shift towards plant-based nutrition is expected to catalyze innovation in product development, leading to the creation of a variety of food and beverage applications that incorporate seaweed protein.

Moreover, the increasing focus on sustainability and environmental conservation is propelling the seaweed protein market forward. Seaweed cultivation is recognized for its low environmental impact, requiring minimal land and freshwater resources compared to terrestrial crops. As the global population continues to rise, the need for sustainable food sources becomes more critical. The ability of seaweed to absorb carbon dioxide and contribute to ocean health further enhances its appeal as a sustainable protein source. This alignment with global sustainability goals is likely to attract investment and research into seaweed cultivation and processing technologies, fostering market growth.

In addition, the potential of seaweed protein in the animal feed industry is gaining attention, as livestock producers seek to enhance the nutritional value of feed while reducing reliance on conventional protein sources. The incorporation of seaweed protein into animal diets not only improves growth performance but also contributes to the overall health of livestock. As the market matures, collaboration between seaweed producers, food manufacturers, and researchers will be essential to unlock the full potential of seaweed protein. The future of the seaweed protein market is thus characterized by a convergence of health, sustainability, and innovation, positioning it for significant growth in the years ahead.
