藻类动物饲料市场机会、成长动力、产业趋势分析及 2025 - 2034 年预测

2024年，全球藻类动物饲料市场规模达45亿美元，预计2034年将以3.9%的复合年增长率成长至66亿美元。这一稳步增长的动力源于畜牧业、家禽业和水产养殖业对永续高性能饲料解决方案日益增长的需求。随着全球粮食需求的成长，生产商面临采用高效环保生产方式的压力。藻类饲料兼具高营养价值和低环境影响，有望成为这一领域的解决方案。消费者和生产商都越来越关注大豆和鱼粉等传统饲料原料的可持续性，因为这些原料的生产往往会导致森林砍伐和过度捕捞。相较之下，藻类养殖所需的土地和水资源更少，碳足迹更低，使其成为越来越有吸引力的替代品。此外，随着人们越来越倾向于选择天然和功能性的动物营养，藻类饲料与产业改善动物健康、优化生产性能并确保整个供应链长期可持续发展的努力高度契合。

藻类饲料产品因其富含必需蛋白质、ω-3 脂肪酸、维生素和抗氧化剂而日益普及。这些营养特性有助于改善动物健康、增强抗病能力并提高饲料转换率。随着全球牲畜数量持续增长，传统饲料来源的环境影响日益受到关注，藻类替代品提供了可持续且高效的选择。在水产养殖领域，藻类发挥着特别重要的作用，与许多水生物种的天然饮食摄取非常相似。藻类的加入有助于维持鱼类和虾类的健康生长週期，并增强其免疫力。

藻类饲料在畜禽养殖领域也日益受到青睐。生产商越来越多地添加藻类来改善肉质、提升蛋黄色泽和提高产奶量。在反刍动物中，某些藻类菌株已被证明能够减少甲烷排放，这为利用藻类降低畜牧业温室气体排放提供了有力的佐证。此外，随着人们对传统饲料碳足迹的认识不断提高，越来越多的农民和营养学家不仅将藻类视为补充剂，还将藻类视为特殊饲料（包括宠物食品）的核心饲料成分，因为这类饲料对优质营养和永续性的需求很高。

2024年，粉状藻类饲料占全球市场的55.1%。这种饲料形式之所以受欢迎，很大程度上得益于其多功能性、易用性、成本效益和更长的保质期。製造商青睐粉状饲料，因为它们易于与现有饲料类型混合，同时保留其营养价值。粉状饲料与製粒和挤压工艺相容，使饲料生产商能够在不同动物品种中保持一致的品质。螺旋藻和小球藻等粉状饲料因其蛋白质和必需脂肪酸的高生物利用度而备受推崇。这些粉状饲料不仅能提高动物的消化率和生产性能，还能带来其他功能性益处，进而提高动物的生产力。

2024年，藻类动物饲料市场的水产养殖部分产值达16亿美元。随着人均收入成长和饮食习惯改变，全球海鲜消费量持续成长，藻类饲料正在填补鱼粉和鱼油等传统海洋投入品供应减少所留下的缺口。藻类提供稳定、营养丰富的解决方案，有助于水生物种的生长、饲料效率和抗病能力。藻类的使用有助于生产者实现永续发展目标，并应对与过度捕捞和栖息地退化相关的环境问题，这使得藻类成为未来负责任水产养殖实践的核心。

在中国，2024年藻类动物饲料市场规模达6.8亿美元。这一增长得益于中国水产养殖业的快速发展以及政府大力推广绿色生态农业的倡议。国家政策鼓励使用低影响饲料原料，也促使藻类在猪和家禽养殖的应用日益广泛。随着国内对优质动物性蛋白质的需求不断增长，饲料製造商正转向营养丰富的藻类补充剂，以提高饲料转换率，增强动物健康，并符合中国的永续发展目标。

为了巩固市场地位，Corbion、ADM、DSM、Cellana和Allmircoalgae等领导企业正在推行垂直整合策略。这些公司正在扩大微藻养殖规模，改善加工技术，并增加研发投入，以提高菌株产量和营养密度。与饲料製造商和养殖户的策略合作也扩大了产品的可及性，并推动了主流和小众动物营养市场的采用。

The Global Algae-Based Animal Feed Market was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% to reach USD 6.6 billion by 2034. This steady growth is driven by the rising demand for sustainable, high-performance feed solutions across the livestock, poultry, and aquaculture sectors. As global food demand rises, producers are under pressure to adopt efficient, eco-friendly practices. Algae-derived feed offers a promising answer, combining strong nutritional profiles with reduced environmental impact. Consumers and producers alike are showing growing concern over the sustainability of traditional feed ingredients like soy and fishmeal, whose production often contributes to deforestation and overfishing. In contrast, algae can be cultivated using less land and water, with a lower carbon footprint, making them an increasingly attractive alternative. Moreover, with the shift toward natural and functional nutrition for animals, algae-based feeds align well with industry efforts to improve animal health, optimize performance, and ensure long-term sustainability across supply chains.

Algae-derived feed products are becoming popular thanks to their rich content of essential proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. These nutritional properties contribute to improved animal health, better disease resistance, and more efficient feed conversion rates. As the global livestock population continues to expand and traditional feed sources face growing scrutiny over their environmental impact, algae-based alternatives offer a sustainable and high-performing option. In the aquaculture sector, algae play a particularly vital role, closely resembling the natural dietary intake of many aquatic species. Their inclusion supports healthy growth cycles and enhances immunity in fish and shrimp.

Algae-based feed is also gaining momentum in livestock and poultry farming. Producers are increasingly incorporating algae to improve meat quality, enhance egg yolk coloration, and boost milk yield. In ruminants, certain algae strains have been shown to reduce methane emissions, offering a compelling case for their use in efforts to lower greenhouse gas output from animal agriculture. Additionally, as awareness grows around the carbon footprint of conventional feed, more farmers and nutritionists are looking toward algae not only as supplements but also as core feed ingredients in specialty diets-including pet food-where premium nutrition and sustainability are in high demand.

In 2024, the powdered algae-based feed segment accounted for 55.1% of the global market. This format's popularity is largely due to its versatility, ease of application, cost-effectiveness, and extended shelf life. Manufacturers favor powder forms because they blend easily into existing feed types while preserving their nutritional value. Their compatibility with pelleting and extrusion processes allows feed producers to maintain consistent quality across different animal species. Powdered forms such as Spirulina and Chlorella are particularly well-regarded for their high bioavailability of proteins and essential fatty acids. These powders not only enhance digestibility and performance but also contribute functional benefits that improve animal productivity.

The aquaculture segment within the algae-based animal feed market generated USD 1.6 billion in 2024. As seafood consumption continues to rise globally-driven by increasing per capita income and changing dietary habits-algae-based feed is stepping in to fill the gap left by declining supplies of traditional marine inputs like fishmeal and fish oil. Algae offer a stable, nutrient-dense solution that supports growth, feed efficiency, and disease resistance in aquatic species. Their use is helping producers meet sustainability goals and respond to environmental concerns tied to overfishing and habitat degradation, making algae central to the future of responsible aquaculture practices.

In China, the algae-based animal feed market reached USD 680 million in 2024. This growth is fueled by rapid expansion in the country's aquaculture industry and strong government initiatives promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture. National policies are encouraging the use of low-impact feed ingredients, leading to increased adoption of algae in swine and poultry operations as well. With domestic demand for high-quality animal protein on the rise, feed manufacturers are turning to nutrient-dense algae supplements to improve feed conversion ratios, enhance animal health, and align with China's sustainability goals.

To strengthen their position in the market, leading players such as Corbion, ADM, DSM, Cellana, and Allmircoalgae are pursuing vertical integration strategies. These companies are scaling up microalgae cultivation, refining processing technologies, and investing in research and development to boost strain productivity and nutrient density. Strategic collaborations with feed manufacturers and farmers are also expanding product accessibility and driving adoption across mainstream and niche animal nutrition markets.
