Market dynamics are significantly influenced by health trends and growing veganism, which presents lucrative potential opportunities, particularly in the dietary supplement and cosmetics sectors. Moreover, innovations in cultivation processes, such as the use of closed-system photobioreactors, present opportunities for increased production efficiency and quality enhancement. However, challenges such as high production costs, contamination risk during cultivation, and limited awareness in developing regions hinder market growth. Additionally, consumer perception linking microalgae to aquatic toxins poses a barrier. To capitalize on growth opportunities, stakeholders are encouraged to invest in awareness campaigns and develop cost-effective cultivation technologies.

Innovation opportunities lie in creating spirulina-based functional and fortified food products, expanding its use in pet and animal nutrition, and exploring biofuel production attributes. Moreover, research into enhancing the digestibility and taste of spirulina would broaden its acceptability. The market is characterized by fragmented competition but shows immense potential owing to its alignment with sustainable and health-centric consumer trends. Companies engaging in strategic partnerships for research and development and focusing on establishing sustainable supply chains will likely emerge as leaders in this dynamically evolving sector.
