公司发展策略
合作伙伴关係、产品发布和扩张等策略对于加速天然虾红素市场的成长至关重要。这些策略帮助公司开拓新市场、增强产品供应并提高生产能力。例如,2024 年,领先的微藻创新和生产公司 AgroSystems(「KAS」)筹集了由 S2G Ventures 领投的 300 万美元 A2 轮融资。这笔资金将加速 KAS 从微藻中生产天然虾红素的开创性方法的商业化,微藻是永续水产养殖系统的关键组成部分,也是经过临床验证的人类营养保健品。 KAS 已获得一项创新製程专利,该製程在封闭的垂直槽系统中使用黑暗发酵来生产高品质的天然藻类虾红素。
此外,2024 年,天然藻类虾红素生产和研究的全球先驱 AstaReal 为瑞典和挪威的消费者推出了其成品配方 Astaxin 的重新命名版本。除了网上商店和保健食品商店外,该补充剂现在也在选定的药房出售。此外,2023 年,AstaReal 与原物料经销商 CFM Co. Farmaceutica Milanese 建立了新的合作伙伴关係。合作伙伴关係结束后,希望在其配方中加入 AstaReal 天然虾红素的意大利营养保健品生产商将获得专业的技术、监管、科学和后勤支援。
对天然抗氧化剂和永续水产养殖实践的需求不断增长
天然虾红素市场主要是由膳食补充剂、化妆品和食品饮料行业对天然抗氧化剂的需求不断增长所推动的。清洁标籤和天然成分在消费者中越来越受欢迎,导致製造商加入天然虾红素,因其强大的抗氧化特性以及对眼睛健康、抗衰老和皮肤保护的益处而受到重视。
全球 EPA 和 DHA Omega-3 组织 (GOED) 注意到,经常使用天然虾红素的膳食补充剂行业在 2023 年出现大幅增长,并且越来越关注支持眼睛健康和皮肤护理的成分。消费者知识的不断增长以及对永续和环保原料的渴望也正在增强市场。
另一个关键驱动因素是水产养殖中越来越多地使用天然虾红素,特别是在鲑鱼养殖中,以增强养殖鱼类的色素沉着和整体健康。根据粮食及农业组织 (FAO) 的数据,2022 年全球渔业和水产养殖产量激增至 2.232 亿吨,比 2020 年增长 4.4%。
此外,向永续水产养殖方式的转变和合成添加剂的减少导致人们越来越倾向于使用虾红素等天然替代品。这一趋势与全球生产环保和健康产品的趋势一致,进一步支持市场扩张。
生产成本高
高生产成本是天然虾红素市场的重要限制因素,影响了这种宝贵的类胡萝卜素衍生产品的获利能力和竞争力。天然虾红素的生产主要涉及微藻的培养,例如雨生红球藻,以生产高浓度虾红素的能力而闻名。这种种植需要特定的环境条件,包括最佳的光照、温度和养分可用性,这可能会导致营运成本增加。
例如,根据美国国家医学图书馆2021年报告,天然虾红素的高生产成本以及一些技术问题(所有微藻衍生产品所共有的)目前限制了该成分的大规模生产。例如,欧盟利用微藻雨生红藻生产天然虾红素的成本约为1,672.88美元/公斤。

Dynamics
Development Strategies Adopted by the Companies
Strategies like partnerships, product launches and expansions are pivotal in accelerating the growth of the natural astaxanthin market. These strategies help companies tap into new markets, enhance product offerings and improve production capacities. For instance, in 2024, AgroSystems ("KAS"), a leading microalgal innovation and production company, had raised a $3 million Series A2 funding round led by S2G Ventures. The funding will accelerate the commercialization of KAS's pioneering method for producing natural astaxanthin from microalgae, a key component in sustainable aquaculture systems as well as a clinically proven human nutraceutical. KAS has patented an innovative process that uses dark fermentation in closed vertical tank systems to produce high-quality natural algae astaxanthin.
Additionally, in 2024, AstaReal, global pioneer in production and research of natural algal astaxanthin, had launched a rebranded version of its finished formulation Astaxin for consumers in Sweden and Norway. In addition to online stores and health food stores, the supplement is also now available in selected pharmacies. Moreover, in 2023, AstaReal had started a new partnership with raw material distributor C.F.M. Co. Farmaceutica Milanese. After the partnership, nutraceutical producers in Italy who wish to include AstaReal natural astaxanthin in their formulations will receive professional technical, regulatory, scientific and logistical support.
Rising Demand for Natural Antioxidants and Sustainable Aquaculture Practices
The natural astaxanthin market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for natural antioxidants in the dietary supplement, cosmetic and food & beverage industries. The increasing popularity of clean-label and natural ingredients among consumers has led manufacturers to include natural astaxanthin, valued for its powerful antioxidant properties and benefits for eye health, anti-aging and skin protection.
Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) noticed, the dietary supplement sector, where natural astaxanthin is frequently used, saw substantial growth in 2023, with a rising focus on ingredients that support eye health and skin care. The increasing consumer knowledge and desire for ingredients sourced sustainably and environmentally friendly are also strengthening the market.
Another key driver is the rising use of natural astaxanthin in aquaculture, particularly in salmon farming, to enhance the pigmentation and overall health of farmed fish. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Global fisheries and aquaculture production in 2022 surged to 223.2 million tonnes, a 4.4 percent increase from the year 2020. with astaxanthin being a critical component in fish feed due to its coloring and antioxidant benefits.
Additionally, the shift towards sustainable aquaculture practices and the reduction of synthetic additives have led to an increased preference for natural alternatives like astaxanthin. This trend aligns with the global movement towards eco-friendly and health-conscious products, further supporting market expansion.
High Production Costs
High production costs are a significant restraining factor for the natural astaxanthin market, affecting the profitability and competitiveness of products derived from this valuable carotenoid. The production of natural astaxanthin primarily involves the cultivation of microalgae, such as Haematococcus pluvialis, which is renowned for its ability to produce astaxanthin in high concentrations. This cultivation requires specific environmental conditions, including optimal light, temperature and nutrient availability, which can lead to increased operational costs.
For instance, according to National Library of Medicine, 2021, stated that, the high production cost of natural astaxanthin as well as several technological problems (that are common to all microalga derived products) are currently limiting the mass production of this ingredient. For example, the cost of producing natural astaxanthin using the microalga H. pluvialis in the EU is approximately US$ 1672.88/ Kg.
The global natural astaxanthin market is segmented based on Source, Form, Application, Sales Channel and Region.
Market Growth in Nutraceuticals Driven by Astaxanthin Demand and Innovations
