Report Overview

The global alginate market size was valued at USD 728.4 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0% from 2021 to 2028. The market is expected to witness significant growth owing to the increasing product demand in the food applications as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and gelling agent. Increased acceptance from the food industry and higher demand for natural ingredients are the key drivers for product demand. In addition, regulatory grants received from various organizations like the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission are expected to drive the growth of the global market. Globally, U.S. is one of the leading markets with high product penetration across the pharmaceutical application industry.

The U.S. alginate market size, by application, 2018 - 2028 (USD Million)

The wound care market in the country is considerably developed and uses alginate in several advanced wound care products. The use of calcium and sodium alginate fibers for wound care is also expected to augment the market over the forecast period. Brown seaweeds are the primary source of alginate. Durvillaea, Laminaria, Ascophyllum, Lessonia, Ecklonia, Sargassum, Turbinaria, and Macrocystis are the other commercial sources of the product. Ascophyllum, Laminaria, and Macrocystis are the most widely harvested species.

Countries like Norway, Chile, and China account for the high production of seaweed leading to the manufacturers setting the production units near the harvest areas. The higher cost involved in the drying of wet seaweed and the raw material supply-demand gap increases the procurement cost, which is reflected in the higher cost of finished products.

The product has a wide application scope in the pharmaceutical sector as it acts as a thickening agent, emulsion stabilizer, film-forming agent, and disintegrant for tablets. Growing product demand in the coating of tablets with low viscosity is expected to fuel the market growth. The market is constantly challenged by the volatile supply quantity of the seaweeds owing to unsustainable production techniques, which may hinder overall growth to some extent.

Type Insights

In terms of revenue, the high G type dominated the global market with a share of over 52% in 2020 and is expected to retain the leading position over the forecast period. High G is rich in guluronic acid blocks that have a wide range of applications in the cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Superior gelling performance is responsible for the higher demand for these products in food applications.

Based on types, the market has been bifurcated into high G and high M. The amount of G and M blocks in the composition of the product is responsible for the performance characteristics of the products. The ratio of M and G in the product determines the gelling and thickening abilities of alginates.

A higher concentration of the G blocks in high G products leads to increased stabilization and thickness. They exhibit buckled chain structure and slower gel formation compared to the high M. Higher product flexibility offered by the high G type is drives its demand in the pharmaceutical industry.

The high M type segment is also expected to witness a steady growth rate of 4.7% over the forecast period. These products form gels quicker as compared to high G products leading to higher application in the cosmetic and food industries. Increasing usage of high M type products, such as beers, ice-creams, and yogurts, is expected to drive the segment growth.

Product Insights

In terms of revenue, propylene glycol led the market with a revenue share of more than 38% in 2020. It is expected to maintain its dominance growing at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. It is an ester of alginic acid with applications as stabilizers, thickeners, and emulsifiers in the pharmaceutical, food, personal care, and cosmetics industries. These products having approval from the FDA as a food additive adds up to the demand growth.

Sodium emerged as the second-largest product in the market with a revenue share of over 32% in 2020. It is a white-yellowish powder extracted from cell walls of brown algae and widely used as a gelling and thickening agent in the food industry. It is primarily used in the production of sauces, whipped cream, jellies, and other dressings. It also offers superior stability to dairy products leading to increased demand.

Global alginate market revenue share, by product, 2020 (%)

Calcium alginates are widely used in pharmaceutical applications like wound care and wound dressing products. The calcium-based fibers enable accelerated healing. Furthermore, in North America and Europe, calcium alginate is approved to be used as an anti-foaming agent in the food industry. It is used as a thickener to increase the viscosity of food products, which is expected to drive the segment growth over the forecast period.

Potassium alginate is a potassium salt of alginic acid and has extensive application in the pharmaceutical industry owing to superior thickening and stabilizing properties. It helps in the reduction of blood sugar and cholesterol levels in humans, which is expected to increase its application in the pharmaceutical industry, thereby supporting the segment growth.

Application Insights

In terms of revenue, industrial application dominated the industry with a share of 38.99% in 2020 and is expected to maintain a dominating position over the forecast period. Alginates have an industrial application in textile printing where they are used as a thickening agent as they combine cellulose in fibers. They are used as a substitute for starches as the latter react with reactive dyes, which leads to lower color yield.

They are also used in paper manufacturing for surface resizing. The product is used with starches providing smooth, continuous film and reduced paper fluffing. Alginate as an ingredient in wax papers helps to keep wax on the paper surface. It also acts as a film former and improves the printability of the paper.

The pharmaceutical segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR from 2021 to 2028 owing to high product demand due to its excellent healing capabilities in dry as well as wet conditions. The product also helps in the controlled release of medicines in drugs and can act as disintegrants, which also drive its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. The food and beverages segment is expected to witness a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Increasing demand for food products containing natural ingredients is expected to drive the segment growth.

Regional Insights

In terms of volume, Asia Pacific region dominated the market with a share of 37.05% in 2020 and is expected to maintain the leading position over the forecast period. The presence of numerous manufacturers and the easy availability of raw materials are responsible for the region’s growth. The presence of a large consumer base in countries like China and India also drives the regional alginate market.

In terms of revenue, Europe is the leading regional market. Increasing expenditure on research and development in the pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive the product demand, thereby augmenting market growth over the forecast period.

Alginate Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing Alginate Penetration In Food Industry

Alginate, a key ingredient in the food industry, is used as an emulsifier, thickener, and gelling agent. Its popularity stems from its production using natural raw materials, leading to its widespread acceptance. Alginate is found in sauces, bakery items, and confectionery products. The growing use of alginate in the bakery and confectionery sector is expected to fuel market growth. The rising consumption of emulsifiers in foods like salad dressings, peanut butter, chocolates, margarine, and frozen desserts is set to boost alginate demand. Factors such as changing lifestyles, increased disposable income due to rapid urbanization, and growing consumer demand for low-fat foods are likely to further drive market growth.

Driver: Growing Demand In Pharmaceutical Sector As A Stabilizer, And Thickening Agent

Alginate, widely used in the pharmaceutical sector, serves as an emulsion stabilizer, thickening agent, disintegrant, and film-forming agent for tablets. Its demand is rising due to its use in tablet coating. Sodium alginate, a capsule disintegrant, also acts as a stabilizing, suspending, emulsifying, gel-forming, and viscosity-increasing agent in compounded medicines. Recognized as an FDA-approved natural polymer, alginate is gaining importance in drug manufacturing due to its low toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The global population is expected to increase by 1.24% annually until 2030. The percentage of people aged 65 to 80 is projected to rise to 28% in 2030 from 22% in 2000. This aging population will require more medical assistance, leading to higher demand for medications and pharmaceutical drugs. The prevalence of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity is increasing worldwide due to changing lifestyles, further driving the demand for pharmaceutical products.

Restraint: Volatile Production Of Seaweed

Seaweeds, a crucial source of alginates, are predominantly harvested by China, Norway, and Chile, which collectively contribute to 75% of the global production from wild stocks. However, the environmental and economic repercussions of unsustainable harvesting techniques are significant. Changes in climate and overexploitation have a profound impact on seaweed harvests, primarily from wild stocks. Northern Ireland, a major seaweed harvester, has experienced a decline in production due to the disturbance of wildlife caused by unsustainable harvesting in conservation areas. This has led to a surge in demand for sustainable harvesting techniques. Additionally, the Chinese market is expected to face challenges due to growing concerns about environmental imbalances triggered by excessive harvesting. Therefore, it’s imperative to adopt sustainable practices to ensure the longevity of this vital resource and mitigate environmental impacts.
