The natural astaxanthin is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.
The natural segment is projected to witness high growth as astaxanthin extracted from natural sources offer enhanced antioxidant properties as compared to synthetic astaxanthin. In addition, consumers are willing to spend more to get higher-quality products. Astaxanthin derived from natural sources is majorly utilized for human consumption as a nutraceutical ingredient and dietary supplements. As the demand for natural astaxanthin is increasing, manufacturers are focusing on extracting astaxanthin from micro-algal sources, which is a cheaper process as compared to the traditional extraction from botanical materials.
The feed application dominated the market, with a share of 65.5% in 2020.
Astaxanthin is majorly used in feed and intensifies the pigmentation of fish and crustaceans, which are reliant on astaxanthin intake, as they cannot synthesize the carotenoid themselves. The increasing livestock population and the growing demand for meat and meat products and fish among consumers are expected to drive the market growth for astaxanthin in the feed segment. Animal feed manufacturers tend to attain more output from animals, due to which various nutritious ingredients are used in animal feed. Using nutritional supplements that offer physiological and microbiological benefits in the digestive system of livestock & companion animals is becoming more prevalent in the modern feed and pet care industries.
