According to a new market research report titled “Phycocyanin Market by Form (Liquid, Powder), by Grade (Food Grade, Cosmetic Grade, Reagent Grade, Analytical Grade) by Application (Food and Beverages, Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical, Diagnostics and Biomedical), Geography– Global Forecast to 2027”, published by Meticulous Research® in collaboration with the European Algae Biomass Association (EABA), the phycocyanin market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.5% from 2020 to 2027 to reach $245.5 million by 2027.
Phycocyanin is an important molecule extracted from spirulina with nutritional and therapeutic values. It is one of the key pigments of the algae spirulina, used as a dietary supplement due to its high protein content. PC is a protein from the phycobiliprotein family characterized by its intense blue color and its structure consists of a protein and non-protein components known as phycocyanobilin. It is a water-soluble, natural, and non-toxic molecule with anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory activities. It is also a powerful agent for the immune system and protects from several diseases.
In recent years, phycocyanin is used as an alternative to synthetic therapeutic and nutritional products. Owing to its non-toxic, eco-friendly & non-carcinogenic nature; additional health-promoting effects like antioxidative and immune-boosting properties; and therapeutic effects such as anti-cancer, anthelminthic, anti-viral & anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory, phycocyanin is increasingly adopted in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industry.
Further, the increasing number of clinical research activities on phycocyanin's health benefits have also proven them as a safe and viable replacement for chemically synthesized drugs. The resulting health benefits have provided the means to successfully market phycocyanin to consumers in multi-nutrient supplements or therapeutic agents. Moreover, the increasing consumers’ concerns for public health, safety, and environmental health are expected to drive the growth of the phycocyanin market for therapeutic and nutritional applications in the future.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Phycocyanin Market
The border closures, quarantines, and market supply chain and trade disruptions could restrict people’s access to sufficient/diverse and nutritious food sources, especially in countries hit hard by the virus or already affected by high levels of food insecurity. The worldwide supply chain includes distribution, packaging, as well as sourcing of raw materials. Lockdowns have disrupted the transportation of packaged foods, prepared foods, and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. In addition, the shutdowns of restaurants and quick-service facilities due to lockdowns have hindered the growth of the food & beverage industry to a large extent. Nutritious and diverse food sources are in short supply in the wake of the global health crisis. Also, greater food insecurity is prevalent in regions hit hard by COVID-19, such as Spain, Italy, and the U.S. Thus, the negative impact on the global economy, supply chains, and trade are indirectly hampering the growth of the phycocyanin market to some extent.
Based on the form, the powder segment is estimated to command the dominant share of the overall phycocyanin market in 2020. Powder phycocyanin prevents the occurrence of oxidative phenomena and offers a long storage period. In addition, powder breaks down quickly and bids high comfort of digestion in comparison to other forms. Also, powder allows active nutrient delivery and offers high flexibility with dosing.

Based on grade, the overall phycocyanin market is mainly segmented into food grade, cosmetic grade, reagent grade, and analytical grade. The food grade segment is estimated to command the largest share and fast growth of the overall phycocyanin market in 2020. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to the rising demand for phycocyanin as an alternative for synthetic color, clean labels forcing brands to switch to natural colors, and stringent regulations against synthetic colors.
Based on application, the food and beverage segment is estimated to command the largest share of the overall phycocyanin market in 2020. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to growing consumer preference towards ready to drink beverages, growing awareness about health issues associated with the use of synthetic colorants in soft drinks, and the trend of replacing artificial colorants with natural ones. In addition, the growing demand for protein-enhanced drinks boosts the demand for phycocyanin in the food and beverage application.
Geographically, Europe is estimated to command the largest share of the overall phycocyanin market in 2020. The leading position of Europe in the phycocyanin market is primarily attributed to the growth of the scientific and technological development in the field of micro-algae research for various health foods and dietary supplements, growing awareness among consumers for natural food products, and increasing food safety concerns and stringent government regulations. Additionally, the adoption of natural colors from algae is likely to embrace the growing demand for phycocyanin.
