The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for DHA from Algae was estimated to be worth US$ 604 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1377 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
DHA, Docosahexaenoic acid, with molecular formula C22H32O2, is a primary structural component of the human brain, cerebral cortex, skin, sperm, testicles and retina. DHA can help lowering lipid, lowering blood pressure, anti-inflammatory, enhancing the activity of brain cells, improving eyesight and other effects. DHA is a kind of both Omega-3 essential fatty acids, which is rich in fish oil and microalgae.
Global key players of DHA from algae include DSM, Roquette, Corbion, Huison, Runke, etc. The top five players hold a share over 70%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, has a share about 40%, followed by North America, and Europe, with share 33% and 22%, separately.
Market Drivers:
Health and Wellness Trends: DHA is recognized for its numerous benefits, such as supporting brain and eye health and reducing inflammation. This has driven the demand for DHA-rich supplements, especially in the wellness and dietary supplement market.
Increased Demand for Plant-based Alternatives: Consumers are increasingly opting for plant-based products, especially vegans and vegetarians who avoid fish-derived DHA. Algae-based DHA is an ideal alternative as it is plant-based, sustainable, and naturally free from contaminants like mercury.
Growing Awareness of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA, are essential for cognitive function, heart health, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Rising consumer awareness of the importance of Omega-3s is driving demand for DHA from algae.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Production: Algae-based DHA is considered more sustainable than fish-derived DHA because it doesn’t deplete ocean resources. As sustainability becomes a higher priority for consumers and businesses, algae-based DHA is gaining traction.
Increased Adoption in Infant Nutrition: DHA is critical for the development of infants' brains and eyes, so it’s a key ingredient in infant formula. The growing demand for infant nutrition products, particularly those containing plant-based DHA, is driving the market.
Regulatory Support: Governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly recognizing the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in public health, which leads to the promotion of DHA consumption. Regulatory support for DHA-based supplements is boosting market growth.
Market Challenges:
High Production Costs: The production process for algae-based DHA can be expensive due to the need for specialized facilities and high-quality algae strains. This can make the final product more costly compared to traditional fish-derived DHA.
Limited Awareness and Acceptance: Although DHA from algae is a promising alternative, it may not yet be as widely known or accepted by all consumers. The market still needs further education efforts to convince people of its benefits and quality.
Production Scalability: Algae-based DHA production requires large-scale algae cultivation, which can be challenging to scale efficiently while maintaining product quality and managing production costs.
Raw Material Availability: While algae are abundant, obtaining the specific strains of algae needed for DHA production at scale can sometimes be a challenge. Ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality algae can pose a risk to manufacturers.
