Algae-Based Animal Feed And Ingredients Market Growth Factors Supporting Long-Term Expansion
The anticipated rise in meat consumption is projected to drive the expansion of the algae-based animal feed and ingredient market. Meat consumption involves eating the flesh of animals commonly used for food. Algae-based animal feeds and ingredients serve as a sustainable and nutritious protein source for animals, rich in essential nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making them a viable substitute for conventional feed components, which improves animal health and promotes weight gain. For example, in July 2024, Carlisle Technology, a US-based company specializing in food industry software and hardware solutions, indicated that chicken consumption, currently at 98.90 pounds per person, is forecast to increase to 107.50 pounds by 2033, attributed to its affordability and health benefits. In 2022, Americans consumed 98.90 pounds of broiler chicken per capita, a quantity also set to rise considerably by 2033. Consequently, the increasing demand for meat is a key driver for the algae-based animal feed and ingredient market.
