According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the demand for microalgae in the fertilisers sector is expected to expand steadily. Its total market value is predicted to exceed US$ 28.7 million by 2033, up from US$ 11 million in 2023. The demand for microalgae in the fertilisers sector is expected to increase at a 10% CAGR from 2023 to 2033.
Microalgae is a naturally occurring biological substance that uses freshwater or the ocean to produce sustainable energy. Different species are learning about the water retention and nutritional functions of varied soil profiles.
They have been successfully employed on cereal crops as liquid preparations and powdered extracts for many years as a soil conditioner, increasing crop production, increasing nutrient uptake, and improving herbicide tolerance.
Dry algae is also becoming popular as compost since it helps to bond the soil, making it perfect for usage as a bio-fertilizer. Dry algae can store nutrients and deliver them to plants via capillary action for a longer time because it is an organic material.

Chemical fertilisers used in the past dissolve in water and sink far into the soil. As a result, nutrients in fertilisers gradually become inaccessible. Fertilisers made from microalgae are utilised to address this issue. Additionally, it boosts the soil’s ability to store water and the distance between soil molecules, allowing for adequate root system aeration.
Consumer preference for organic and environment-friendly fertilizers to enhance crop yield along with increasing concerns about sustainability drive the demand for microalgae in the fertilizers industry. Rising concerns pertaining to reduced soil salinization, greenhouse emissions, and abiotic stress in agriculture are driving the demand for natural ingredient-based fertilizers, supporting the incorporation of microalgae.
Growing Applications of Microalgae Residue
Cyanobacteria and microalgae have numerous applications and are a significant source of bioactive compounds. Generally, microalga is a rich source of essential macro and micro-elements, which can be used as a protein source in food, feed, and fertilizer applications.
Microalgae contain lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Lipids extracted from algae are rich in oxygen (O) (26.3%), C (49.0%), N (5.76%) and hydrogen (H) (6.96%).
Untreated microalgae and microalgae biomass are rich in organic matter and macronutrient contents. This supports soil fertility, which in turn helps consumers to gain higher crop yield. Moreover, the cost of microalgae is comparatively low. Therefore, several fertilizer manufacturers utilize algae waste in their products.
