GLOBAL CRISES MARINE BIO PRODUCTS MARKET

"COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Accelerated due to Awareness of Health"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 had a positive impact on this market. Global awareness of health and prosperity got a boost during the pandemic, and there was increased focus on immunity-boosting products, including vitamins and minerals, together with mind-boosting nutritional supplements, several pulled from marine life, particularly omega-3 polyunsaturated fats from fish oil and vitamins from algae. Lobster style and disruptions in the conventional supply chain put emphasis on local and sustainably sourced ingredients, which is a strength of this industry that stresses responsible fishing and farming. COVID-19 hastened the study & discovery of bioactive marine molecules with possible antiviral inflammatory capabilities, thus fostering innovation & capital investment in the field.

LATEST TRENDS

"Better MIS Traceability to Propel the Market Growth"

Increased focus on sustainability and supply chain tracing, as customers and companies alike are choosing marine ingredients derived from responsible sources, as well as offering better MIS traceability are one of the current major trends in this market. This is putting pressure on pursuing alternative solutions in the sphere of sustainable aquaculture and wild harvesting. Another assertive trend also became the focus on the high added value sectors, such as the development of marine-originated drugs and pharmaceuticals for health enhancement, sources of nutraceuticals with pre-specified beneficial health effects, and new-generation biomaterials for medical and aesthetic purposes. This is driven by continuous discovery of special characteristics and uses of sea creatures in health, as well as industrial applications.

MARINE BIO PRODUCTS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Marine Animal & Marine Plant

• Marine Animal: This segment also provides largest amount of EPA and DHA which are said to improve the nutrition values of diet supplements and functional foods. It also provides collagen for cosmetics and biomedical uses as well as chitin and chitosan from shellfish shell for other uses.

• Marine Plant: That is where entire group of polysaccharides like carrageenan, agar, and alginates to be used in food products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as gelling agents, stabilisers and emulsifiers. Concerning the nutrients present in seaweed, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can be found in them making it crucial in the formulation of nutrient supplements and functional foods.

By Downstream Industry

Based on application the market can be categorized into Nutrition Supplements, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Food Ingredients & Agricultural Products

• Nutrition Supplements: This is the largest market, fish and algal oil containing EPA and DHA for the health of the heart, the brain and for controlling inflammation. Marine sources such as seaweeds and microalgae have vitamins (A, C, E, B complex) and minerals (iodine, calcium, iron) and trace elements essential in multivitamin supplements and functional foods.

• Pharmaceuticals: Marine organisms bearing potential bioactive products have been regarded as potential candidates to treat diseases such as cancers, infections or even certain neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease. Chitosan, collagen of marine origin and other polysaccharides have been used in wound healing agents, tissue engineering scaffolds, and as drug delivery systems owing to the properties of such marine bioresources.

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Marine collagen is used in cosmetic products due to its properties that help to reduce wrinkles, moisturize skin and give it a firm texture. Other natural compounds, such as algae and other marine extracts, are other materials that are applied to creams, lotions and other cosmetics as thickeners, emulsifying agents and film formers.

• Food Ingredients: Some examples of polysaccharides are carrageenan applied in milk products as a thickener, agar in confectioneries and alginates in food emulsifiers. Some of the marine extracts used in the food products are referred to as the natural flavour potentiators.

• Agricultural Products: Seaweed and other marine organisms’ extracts are sourced for agricultural applications as biofertilizers and bio stimulants to enhance plant performance, nutrient acquisition, and abiotic stress resistance. Fishmeal and algae are incorporated in the animal feeds to supply the animal’s nutrient requirements so as to enhance its well-being.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market Dynamics Include Driving and Restraining Factors, Opportunities and Challenges Stating the Market Conditions.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Growing Consumer Demand for Natural and Sustainable Product to Expand the Market"

One of the key driving factors of Marine Bio Products Market growth is the Growing Consumer Demand for Natural and Sustainable Products. Natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable products, organically grown and free from unethical practices, are in demand across food, cosmetics, and healthcare. Marine bioproducts that are supposed to originate from renewable marine resources fit this trend. Customers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the effects that conventional resource procurement and product production methods have on the environment.

"Increasing Research and Development to Advance the Market"

New research in the field of marine biotechnology is revealing dozens of bioactive compounds and possible uses from the specimens of marine life. New techniques in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics allow researchers to study the genetic and biochemical variation in marine organisms more efficiently.In addition, technological factors such as enhanced extraction methods for the production of sea creatures apart from farming methods, processing techniques, as well as enhanced marine cultivations, enhance the efficiency and sustainability of marine bioproduct production. The steady advancements in technology profiles and scientific research in marine biotechnology can therefore be considered key growth and development factors to the market.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Tough Regulatory Environment to Pose Potential Impediments on this Market"

The tough regulatory environment and its implementation are two of the key features restraining the growth of the Marine Bio-Products Market share. The processing, utilisation, and marketing of marine commodities are frequently regulated by numerous national and international legal provisions on pollution control, marine biological resources conservation, food hygiene, drug standards, and trade. Such regulations also may differ greatly depending on the region and the industry, thus being quite problematic for the companies operating on the international level. For instance, measures used in the organisation on sustainable use of wild marine stock or marine organisms in aquaculture may be tough and time-consuming in terms of paperwork and accreditation. Likewise, the discovery and commercialisation of marine-derived pharma or functional food products are highly likely to follow the clinical trial and approval routes, which take a lot of time and money.

OPPORTUNITY

"Blue Economy to Create Opportunity in this Market"

A significant source of growth for this market comes from the trends towards the so-called blue economy and the provision of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The concept of blue economy involves the utilisation of the ocean for delivery of economic benefits through sustainable fisheries, enhancement of human prosperity, and employment opportunities without negatively impacting the ocean’s health. This global effort is encouraging investments and policy incentives for new and efficient marine-related businesses, including this segment.

CHALLENGE

Another problem of the marine bio-products market is the lack of management and, in particular, sustainable use of the sea resources. As the markets for marine products grow, so does the tension around the exploitation of these resources, degradation of habitats, and the effects on the species. Free access to select sea organisms can cause overexploitation and upset the production of organisms within the same ecosystem. Likewise, numerous societal crises occurred in aquaculture practices, incurring environmental pollution, diseases, and habitat destroyers.
