The commercial seaweeds market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.17% to reachUSD 17.59 Billion by 2021.
The market growth is driven by increasing awareness about the pharmaceutical uses of seaweeds and growing demand from the European region.

There are various applications of commercial seaweeds, such as human food, animal feed, agriculture, and others which include cosmetics, integrated aquaculture, biomass as biofuel, and wastewater management. Seaweeds are used on a large scale for human consumption due to their high nutritive value and usage of raw seaweeds in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines.
In 2015, Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share for commercial seaweeds, followed by North America and Europe. China and Indonesia constituted the largest country-level markets in the Asia-Pacific region in 2015. Increasing awareness about the benefits of commercial seaweeds among industrialists and consumers is leading to the growth in this region. The usage of commercial seaweeds can be treated as a risk-hedging technique and can be considered as a safe investment which has led to increased sales of seaweed products in the Asia-Pacific market. The commercial seaweeds market in the North American region is projected to grow with investments from several multinational manufacturers, and extensive R&D initiatives have been taken for exploring the applications of seaweeds.
Occurrences of natural calamities hampering the production of seaweeds and harmful effects of consumption of excess seaweeds are the restraining factors in the commercial seaweeds market.
