The anticipated value of the worldwide phycocyanin market in 2022 was US$ 754.40 million. The market is anticipated to reach US$ 1,487.7 million, growing at a CAGR of 7% from 2023 to 2033 due to shifting customer preferences toward natural food-grade substances.
Phycocyanin is a natural blue pigment derived from certain species of blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria. It is widely used in various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agriculture, due to its unique properties and potential health benefits.
The benefits of phycocyanin, a substance produced from spirulina, in terms of nutrition and color are driving tremendous expansion in the food and beverage industry. The pigment is mostly used as a natural coloring addition in the food industry. Its use as an additive for food coloring has received permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The organically produced pigment can be used as a nutraceutical component since it has antioxidant activity both in vitro as well as Vivo. Many countries forbid the import and export of items that include artificial food colors, which is assisting the phycocyanin industry’s growth.
Phytocyanin is one of the few naturally generated blue hues acknowledged in Europe, Asia and North America. Its use as coatings for pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements was also permitted a few years ago. Spirulina extract is exempted from certification by the U.S. FDA Code of Federal Regulations since it has been approved as a color additive. It is produced by sifting spirulina platensis dry biomass and separating it with water.
Increasing the patent manufacturing process of these substances to ensure a stable supply of pigments, strengthening distribution channels, and increasing consumer awareness of the various benefits of natural components, particularly in emerging markets, may further contribute to worldwide expansion.
