세계의 해조 기반 대체육 시장 : 예측(2025-2030년)

The global seaweed-based alternative meat market is estimated to attain US$1,751.506 million in 2030, increasing from US$885.486 million in 2025 at a CAGR of 14.62%.

Seaweed is a type of algae or marine plant that grows in bodies of water like oceans, rivers, and seas. It is a sustainable protein source because it doesn't require fertilizers or fresh water, absorbs a lot of CO2, and produces a lot of it. The worldwide seaweed protein market is also expanding rapidly as a result of the increased use of seaweed protein and extracts. Because of the presence of bioactive substances such as colors, vitamins, phlorotannins, polysaccharides, peptides, minerals, and nutritional effects, seaweed is being used in a variety of sectors.

The growing global population, increasing resilience of plant-based meat, and seaweed's health benefits and cultivation efficiency are projected to boost the seaweed-based alternative meat market. As per the Department of Product Design, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the global population will be 9.8 billion by 2030. The demand for fresh meat and the scarcity of farmland are expected to shift to alternative protein cultivation, which will not strain the available land. This is significantly projected to increase the production of alternative non-land cultivated protein sources, including seaweed. Additionally, as per the source, over 500 seaweed species are available globally for food. The health benefits associated with seaweed consumption, its efficient production, investments, and research are projected to push the demand, increasing this market's growth.
